Light Inside the Addict

Dedicated to a friend I recently lost. 

You would always ask me how I was doing when you saw me at work, and I'd ask you the same question. You'd usually respond with "Same Shit, Different Day." I can't turn back time and undo what has happened, and over time I've had to learn to accept the things I cannot change, but through God you've given me the courage to change the things I can. I miss you, and I wish I'd have done things differently. I loved you brother. May you rest in peace.

Special thanks to Gary Watters at Hartford Studio in Forest Grove for helping me record something very special to me, and this has been a great help for me in my grieving process.

Lyrics: 

Same Shit, Different Day
That's what I hear you say
I say, oh yeah, but I don't know

Same shit, Different Day
That's all I hear you say
Oh yeah, so it goes

I saw you walking down the highway
On my way to work
Full time swing and you work full time nights

That warehouse job can make me crazy 
Make me go berserk
I don't envy working nine to five

Some other people called you names
They'd tease you through the night
You were just a gentle soul at heart

I wish I could've been your hero
And stand up for your rights
I didn't have the strength to play the part

Same Shit, Different Day
That's what I hear you say
I say, oh yeah, but I don't know

Same Shit, Different Day
That's all I hear you say
Oh yeah, so it goes

Lately all you tell me is that 
You're so goddamn tired
I tell you keep it up you're almost there

I'm tempted to ask you if
You're trying to get me fired
I get too caught up with work to care

Then one night when driving home
I see you walking that same road
Why are you on this highway late at night?

Now I'm left to wonder why
Ever since I heard you died
If I had stopped, would you have spared your life?

I wish I did (3x)

Same Shit, Different Day
That's what I hear you say
I say, oh yeah, but I don't know

Same Shit, Different Day
That's all I hear you say
Oh yeah, so it goes

Same Shit, Different Day
That's all we ever say
We say, oh yeah, but we don't know

Same Shit, Different Day
That's all we ever say
Oh yeah
So it goes

Same Shit, Different Day

If the music doesn't tell you enough then I have failed.
