lyrics

Five o'clock, the siren sounds, he wakes to live another day
Feet to floor, he dons his cleanest suit, his bravest face.
Peering out the window at blue skies with a jaded filter
A vacant smile to greet a passerby

And all he wants is to be normal,
As out of grasp as that may seem
Buried under, encumbered by
A violent rogue daydream

(Chorus)
Always holding out for a day a little less shit
While the choking steals his breath away.
His future was a bright one,
But now the halo becomes the noose

Twelve o'clock, his suit's intact
But now wraps around a statuette

Disillusioned by the realization that today is just another day
(Another day)
Smile starts to drop and fade, like a shadow in the evening sun
Lifeless replies of a stolen body in the wrong existence

And all he wants is to be normal,
As out of grasp as that may seem
Buried under, encumbered by
A violent rogue daydream

(Chorus)

All that's left is to be at rest,
A hope in happy endings now a hope to dull the pain,
Avoidable destruction, sincerity too late
No one saw, no one cared,
Not a hello, now he's dead,
His voice it speaks and screams
But no one's there listening
A desperate cry that always goes unnoticed.

And all he wants is to be normal,
As out of grasp as that may seem
Buried under, encumbered by a violent rogue daydream
And all he wanted was to be normal,
Now as far away as it's ever been
Buried under but not encumbered anymore

(Chorus)

All that's left is to be at rest,
A hope in happy endings now a hope to dull the pain,
Avoidable destruction, sincerity too late
No one saw, no one cared,
Not a hello, now he's dead,
His voice it speaks and screams
But no one's there listening
It's all because no one asked him how his day was
