This is the story of a person having a terrible day yet is not willing to surrender to the circumstances.

Grey Day
The sky was blue when I awoke this morning
Then the storm clouds rolled in without warning.
I wish I would’ve stayed in my bed
And pulled the covers up over my head.

I’ve had a grey, grey day
I’ve had a grey day. When I awoke there were no signs suggesting it would be this way
I’ve had a grey day. I’ve had a grey day.
I’ve had a grey day.

Middle of the day things weren’t improving.
Well, it seems like I tripped in front of everything that was moving.
I never got my feet under me,
fate kept piling on the misery.

Now it’s evening and I am battered and bleeding
and I still can’t tell if I’ll have to take another beating
but I’ll keep tightening the tourniquet
cuz I don’t want to give up just yet.
