Gloriously Mundane (2016 Demo) Lyrics

There's work to do and money to earn and people to see

The balancing act is a 24-hour forgery

Seven days cannot contain just how weak I feel

Sundays fill, then Mondays kill and there's no time to heal

But I think a small perspective shift

Can ease our stay on the way to the grave

Maybe these heavy loads we lift

Bring peace to the day-by-day

It takes different kinds of glory

To tell the whole story

The special and repetitive

The debts we earn, rewards we give

Don't die for your wages just to live

There's work to do and joy to be shared and people to see

The balancing act is a labor of love in delivery

Necessary evils can be necessary goods

When we steal back our privilege from the mandated "should"s

Don't you think this small perspective shift

Has made your load lighter to lift?

The road ahead might look the same

But we'll take it day by day

It takes different kinds of glory

To tell the whole story

The special and repetitive

The debts we earn, rewards we give

Don't die for your wages just to live

It takes different kinds of glory

To tell the whole story

The special and repetitive

The debts we earn, rewards we give

Don't die for your wages just to live

It could all drive you insane

Till you see it's gloriously mundane
