I've done this before

I've done this before.

This day to day
Waking up in dismay
The repeat and replay
To all work and no pay

I've done this before.

I've done this before.

The eternal tired
The never inspired
My headache is fired
My nerves are wired

I've done this before.

I've done this before.

The ever-fake smile
And yet all the while
A face in denial
Of internal trial

I've done this before.

I've done this before.

You may know it too
And this to be true
What we've been through
Is never that new

We've done this before.

But what is it for?

That glimmer of change
Just out of range
Asks much in exchange
It may seem strange

I've seen it before.

I say nothing more

But that it's worth fighting for.
