The New Dichotomy

Wake up every morning,

(Days go by, and that’s not new)

Tell yourself you’ll be okay,

Do what you have to do.

Wait to realize, once again

The new dichotomy:

You have to go on living, though

You don’t like what you see.

Wake up every morning,

(Sometimes, the sky is blue)

Tell yourself the world’s alright,

Do what you have to do.

Far abroad and close to home

The new dichotomy:

You have to go on living, though

You don’t like what you see.

Wake up every morning,

(Cuz what else can you do?)

Tell yourself the world’s okay,

Do what you have to do.

Here awake and here in dreams

The new dichotomy:

You have to go on living, though

You don’t like what you see.
