A Little Each Day
Suicidal Tendencies Lyrics

Took a walk down under the street
I went to a place that nobody knows about, deep under the city streets.

Never thought that I'd see the day I would meet
I didn't expect to find anyone down there.

Came and whispered in my ear
An inner voice spoke to me.

But I tried to pretend that I didn't hear
I didn't want to acknowledge the voice.

Turned my head and I walked away
I tried to ignore the voice and leave.

I tried to forget what they had to say
I did my best to erase the memory of the voice.

Put on a smile and I tried to hide
I smiled to deceive anyone who might try to help me.

But I couldn't keep myself from crying inside
Despite my deception, I was still tormented by my inner conflict.

[Chorus]
Refrain

Took a journey through my brain
I explored my own thoughts and feelings.

And they saw the scars and they felt my pain
In my mind, I was wounded, and others could sense my suffering.

Saw the things I didn't want to find
I confronted uncomfortable truths about myself that I didn't want to face.

Knew the dreams I had over a bottle of wine
I realized that the hopes I harbored were the product of my intoxicated imagination.

Thought if I lied I was going to win
I believed that deceiving myself would bring me satisfaction.

But they said the battle wouldn't even begin
But I was told that I wouldn't even get started if I continued to lie to myself.

Thought about the lies that I said to myself
I reflected on the falsehoods I had convinced myself of.

But I knew it's too late to find the help
Despite my self-awareness, I realized it was too late to seek help for my problems.

[Chorus]
