it's been a long day
when nothing seems to be goin my way
i really dont need a lot
just trying to hold on to what i got
lord knows it's been a while
since my face has cracked a smile
so hot in the midday sun
seem to be burnin everyone
oh self destruction it is keeping me from functioning
i try to build things up
i build things up
and i tear them down
oh i'm escaping
i'm escaping this big blue day
and now i'm trying
tryin to look out into the horizon
oh i got no motivation
oh i need some inspiration
try and get some motivation
to help me
help me get through this day
and then the winter comes
i'm hardly seeing any sun
hibernation's taking me
into a distant sleep
since my face has cracked a smile
so cold in the winter months
seem to be chillin everyone
oh self destruction it is keeping me from functioning
and i try to build things up
i build things up 
and i tear them down
oh i'm escapin
i'm escaping this big blue day
and now i am tryin
tryin to look out into the horizon
oh i've got no motivation
oh i need some inspiration
i try and get some motivation
to help me
help me get through this day
oh i'm escapin
i'm escapin this big blue day
and now i am trying
trying to look out into the horizon
oh i'm escapin
i'm escaping this big blue day
and now i am tryin 
trying to look out into the horizon
