Clench To Stay Awake

Here comes another day

Where I clench to stay awake

Here comes another day

Where trauma becomes my fate

No issues to speak upon

As I trust in my strong will

I've made it many times before

And I can get through it again

Control myself enough

To make it through the plane

To make it through the pain

How does this pain start

I can clench away

Here comes another day

Where I clench to stay awake

Here comes another day

Where trauma becomes my fate

Tell me that I've gotta clench to stay awake

Tell me that I've gotta clench the pain away

Here comes the pain, I can blow it away

Find a way to cope for another day

Sharp pain coming on, I'm blacked out

Next time it comes, I'm not gonna back out

Run to the back, find a place to lie down

Get on my back, hope the pain will die down

Ashamed of my mind, ashamed of my body

From now on I'm in control

But can I keep it all up

Here comes another day

Where I clench to stay awake

Here comes another day

Where trauma becomes my fate

It's a struggle of the mind

Cause and effect upon my body

It will take over no longer

As long as my will is good

Not another day

Where I clench to stay awake

Not another day

Where trauma becomes my fate
