One More Day Won’t Hurt
Slaves Lyrics

One more day won't hurt
A temporary solution to avoid dealing with deeper issues.

Fast-forward three years on
Progressing through time with no significant changes happening.

Now the whites in your eyes aren't looking
The loss of vitality and hope.

So bright and all of your friends are gone
The loss of social support and meaningful relationships.

Glass on the side half-empty
Approaching life with a pessimistic perspective.

Better go buy one more
Continuing to rely on temporary solutions.

Counting the change in a yellowing hand
Struggling with financial difficulties and aging.

And dropping it all over the floor
Experiencing the consequences of poor decisions and lack of focus.

Sitting on the same old barstool, sipping on the same old beer
Stuck in a cycle of repetitive behavior and stagnation.

Talking to the new bartender, pondering the same idea
Desperately seeking novelty and change, but not genuinely pursuing it.

I'm telling him, "Everyone knows me 'round here"
Holding onto a false sense of importance and belonging.

Shut up!
Being defensive and lashing out at criticism or confrontation.

I'll tell you when I've had enough
Fighting against control and authority, refusing to admit weaknesses or limitations.

Look at me, I'm so big and tough
Inflating one's self-worth and presenting a tough exterior to mask inner turmoil.

Now three more years have gone
More time has passed without significant growth or change.

And you're tired and burnt out, trying to work out
Feeling exhausted and defeated, attempting to find a way out of a dead-end situation.

Where did it all go wrong?
Questioning how one's life has turned out so poorly.

Wrapper on the side half-empty
Continuing to approach life with a negative outlook.

Better try and take one more
Relying on temporary solutions to attempt to feel better.

Begging him, "Please, I'm good for the cash
Pleading and lying to try to obtain substances or temporary relief from problems.

I get paid next week"
Delaying the consequences or impact of poor decisions.

Walking around all riled up, looking for some eye contact
Feeling restless and agitated, seeking attention or validation from others.

Beered up, geared up, saying, "Who wants it?"
Aggressively seeking confrontation or a fight, possibly due to insecurity or frustration.

Banging your chest and that
Attempting to prove one's strength or dominance through physical actions.

Truth is, I don't even know him
Being surrounded by people who are not truly friends or trustworthy.

Wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him
Feeling suspicious and cautious about those around you.

Phone in one hand, ciggy in the other
Engaging in addictive and unhealthy behaviors.

Winking at me and calling me his brother
Using false flattery or manipulation to maintain control or influence.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug when it's
The negative and destructive impact of drug addiction.

Running through the veins of a small town thug
Being trapped in a cycle of violence and self-destructive behaviors.
