Horrorshow - New Normal lyrics

On time but the rent’s late
Put it off till the next day
Scraping by off of spare change
But one day I’ma get straight
Days turn into decades
Never thought 'bout the end game
Gotta sleep where ya bed’s made
So one day I’ma get straight

And maybe there’ll be set
Backs and broken dams
Days when things don’t go to plan
Tell me what’s your coping strategy?
‘Cause baby don’t forget there’s
No going back, make the most of what we have
Through the triumph and the tragedy
We pray for better days and
Learn while we wait
They may never come, nothing’s guaranteed
We do it anyway, accepting the fate
Meant for us is the one it has to be


Still one by one we come from nothing
Tryna make it something
Knowing that we can’t take that something
When we turn to nothing
Somehow we know it ain’t for nothing
Now ain’t that something?
End of it all I just learned one thing
And it goes a little something like

When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
I just hope I can say I gave my all
When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
And hope I gave my all

On time but the rent’s late
Put it off ‘til the next day
Next day came and went again
But one day I’ma get straight yeah, yeah
Giving thanks for my best days
Looking forward to the next phase
Last move always check mate
So one day, I’ma get straight
And on that day

You’ll find me watching it unfold
Tryna find my way through
The world, push boundaries
Go beyond my limit's
‘Cause, I know it don’t revolve around me
It’s more that I evolve within it
And I know you know it too
Though sometimes you can’t quite put
A finger on it
It’s an understanding shared between us
There’s no need to linger on it
These past couple years have been crazy
One minute I’m all smiles
Up on stage taking a bow
The next I’m alone on a street corner
Tears streaming down my face
While I’m breaking down
Taught me that this life is pleasure and
Pain at the end of the day
And despite what we might tell ourselves
It’s out of our control
All we can do is try and
Stay afloat and pay the rent
So if you’re out there fighting
Battles in your head
Waking up to mornings when it’s a struggle
To make it out of bed
Let this be your reminder
There’ll be better days ahead
I dedicate this album to you
You know who you are
For the journeys still before us and
The stories behind your scars
Be brave, be strong
Persist, persevere, believe
That’s all any of us can do oh – and enjoy!
Find the joy that you deserve
Inside your every day
The delicious meal you just ate
The friend who made you laugh or
Asked you how you are the sun on your face
The birds chirping in the trees around you
The sights, the sounds, the ups, the downs
All of it
‘cause it’s cliché as fuck, but it’s true
You never know when it might happen to you
The New Normal

When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
I just hope I can say I gave my all
When the day breaks, when the night falls
When the time comes, and my name’s called
I’ma say grace, let the cards fall
I just hope I can say I gave my all

I just hope that I gave it my all
