The Day It All Changed by The Zeph Daniel Experience

[Verse 1] We wield the sword march into the new land only to find it a repeat of the trauma the deep disappointment of replay Sound upon sound Light upon light The same face The same beauty The same need No need for scrutiny [Pre-Chorus] Only to find that the shedding of the skin The beginning of ascension [Chorus] I can't stand you I hate myself more I can't stand you I hate myself more But you see together we can go up (expanding) to the dance of the creator [Verse 2] The one last step The final thrust upward and never looking back Forgiven, it never happened It never appeared It never saved but the end saved at the last possible second [Pre-Chorus] The last possible possibility That you are me and I am a star [Chorus] I can't stand you I hate myself more I can't stand you I hate myself more But you see together we can go up (expanding) to the dance of the creator [Bridge] and burning brightly forever needing to be finite to talk to you again even if it didn't go so well [Final Chorus] I can't stand you I hate myself more I can't stand you I hate myself more That you are me and I am a star and burning brightly forever needing to be finite

You are one with the sun You have run into the lacking field of curling weeds where once sustenance had been You are not of the earth but they convince you that you are But you are subject to a side that you know within, but always looking outside To the dawn The Beast and the snake pretend to be late but you are always looking ahead And never see what happens Now or never You're not so clever At the subject at hand No books can help you land Far and away Up and sideways You seek the final end run Around the deceit your family put on you They put you on They put on you They turned you out So you buried the truth It is okay, you're not at fault There has to be. way for the two sides of you to live together To live amongst them With no shame With no guilt That's the program placed on you to make you hide Hide away, locked away Never to be heard from Because if you speak Walls come down Empires fall Never rise Magical perception Isn't real Never to begin the end while it is worshiped like a god But never to begin the end Always out ahead Always perceived as an excuse to not breathe.

[Verse 1] Got my card in my coat And a strap on my bag I’m late by five again That’s how the morning goes The platform smells like rain And old gum on the tile I watch the train roll in With a tired little smile [Pre-Chorus] Doors open, crowd leans in I lose my place again My hands keep reaching out For a cup that isn’t there [Chorus] No coffee downtown I’m barely standing now No coffee downtown Don’t talk to me right now (No coffee downtown) I need one small mercy (No coffee downtown) Before the whole day hurts me [Verse 2] Somebody bumps my shoulder My hat hits the floor A baby starts crying By the sliding glass door My phone says “You’re almost there” Like that helps any I stare at the dark glass And it stares back at me [Pre-Chorus] Signs blur by too fast My head stays in a fog One empty paper cup Feels like a broken promise [Chorus] No coffee downtown I’m barely standing now No coffee downtown Don’t talk to me right now (No coffee downtown) I need one small mercy (No coffee downtown) Before the whole day hurts me [Bridge] I spot a corner shop Two blocks past the stairs If I can make it there I might still come back Just one hot cup Just one second to breathe Then I can face the crowd And they can all let me be [Final Chorus] No coffee downtown I’m barely standing now No coffee downtown Don’t talk to me right now (No coffee downtown) I need one small mercy (No coffee downtown) Before the whole day hurts me
