Feelin' fatigued, full of exhaust like car fumes
When weary, livin's leery, look for light where dark looms
Fishin' for hope and harpin' on it with harpoons
But months get long and drawn out like cartoons
Painstakin' like makin' claymation
This stop and go life, these days I ain't patient
I think I got issues with defining happiness
As existing in the things that haven't happened yet
Follow photos of old friends in Facebook feeds
Married homeowners posin' with children, livin' their dreams
We're light years apart if lookin' at comparisons
Can't get my shit together, fuckin' embarrassin'
I'm single, 30-somethin', workin' in a warehouse
Keepin' to myself all day and tearin' my hair out
Makin' medical study money, injected with a drug
Givin' blood in a laboratory, pissin' in a cup
Check to check, checkin' amounts in bank accounts
Financial failures, fightin' for funds, fading out
No riches in music unless you're makin' major hits
Sellin' CD's goin' the same way as LaserDiscs
Creatin' success ain't based on creativeness
Craziness, the way we raise a fist just to make it limp
Haven't said a prayer since I became an atheist
Conversatin' with myself to maybe make some sense

Ya know, 'cause, like sometimes it's just hard and doesn't feel like it's ever gonna come together, but

If there's a will, there's a way
There's a path, there's a door, there's a spot, there's a place
If there's a will, there's a way
There's a breath, there's a peace, there's a world that can change
If there's a will, there's a way
There's a chance, there's a shot, there's a gleam, there's a flame
If there's a will, there's a way
There's a purpose to find and a song to be sang

Some cope with dope or get drunk from booze
But there's an emptiness in me I fill with comfort foods
And it goes way past the point of when hunger's soothed
Sharp sadness in my abdomen like puncture wounds
So my fat cranium's creasing a feather pillow
With urges to roll up in a ball like an armadillo
Sheltered in sheets, I grab o' hold of my knees
Anxiety turned anger, heated like macaronni and cheese
Glued to the news like Elmer's
America's divided with sparks flyin' like welders
Lyin' legislators passin' measures, screwin' things up
So depressin', never feelin' like I'm doin' enough
To fight back against these garbage politicians
I mean, I'm supposed to be an artist on a mission
But capitalism got me racin', tryin' to get by
Countin' out my hours, lookin' where I can invest time
Ambitions constricted by conditions
Constructin' our addictions to things that make us victims
People 'round me goin' nuts, chokin' up
Towels soaked in blood from self harm, their arms are showin' cuts
Hearts broken up, busted, disgusted, throwin' up
Teardrops and vomit swirl as toilet bowls are flushed
It's like your goals are just goin' down the drainpipe
And your shine gets reduced to a brake light, but

If there's a will, there's a way
There's a path, there's a door, there's a spot, there's a place
If there's a will, there's a way
There's a breath, there's a peace, there's a world that can change
If there's a will, there's a way
There's a chance, there's a shot, there's a gleam, there's a flame
If there's a will, there's a way
There's a purpose to find and a song to be sang
