The Garden - 'Clench To Stay Awake'

"Clench To Stay Awake" by The Garden from the album 'Kiss My Super Bowl Ring,' available now

Lyrics

here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate

no issues to speak upon
as I trust in my strong will
I’ve made it many times before
and I can get through it again
control myself enough
to make it through the plane
to make it through the pain
how does this pain start
I can clench away
here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate

tell me that I’ve gotta clench to stay awake
tell me that I’ve gotta clench the pain away
here comes the pain, I can blow it away
find a way to cope for another day
sharp pain coming on, I’m blacked out
next time it comes, I’m not gonna back out

run to the back, find a place to lie down
get on my back, hope the pain will die down
ashamed of my mind
ashamed of my body
from now on I’m in control
but can I keep it all up

here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate

it’s a struggle of the mind
cause and effect upon my body
it will no longer take over
as long as my will is good

not another day
where I clench to stay awake
not another day
where trauma becomes my fate

[Astrono.my_rks]

Fletcher really be looking like Rodrick Heffley doe

[andy-]

i remember this song came out the week I was visiting my grandpa at the hospital when he was ill and I'd listen to this thinking about him and how, , he was clenching to stay awake. sadly he's no longer in this world with us but wherever he is I'm sure he's in peace... and i guess i thank the garden for creating art that helped me cope with some problems.
love u abuelito

[thefilthyguts]

I love the The Lighthouse (2019) sequel

[laaannnaaaaa]

*Now these twins are one of the main reasons I like men.*

[GirlyFish]

I have no idea why Wyatt doesn't get credit for his singing voice. The dude has the voice of an angel.

[ryf]

They really said there’s plastic in the goddamn ocean huh

[wytpny]

I've never heard this kind of genre before but now I'm in love

[kozel]

[bahiaayos]

These guys got to be the best artists at the moment

[HKelly-uxfr]

a highly underrated band. i wish to see them evolve and prosper.

[christaccc]

They were really like oh no let's cover little doggy's eyes he can't see such violence we have to protect him he's so precious

[the_argonian_gamer]

I was just introduced to them via a Spotify ad at midnight and I’ve already binge listened to all their songs and albums

Lyrics:
Here comes another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Here comes another day
Where trauma becomes my fate

No issue to speak upon
As I trust in my strong will
I've made it many times before
And I can get through it again
Control myself enough
To make it through the plane
To make it through the pain
How does this pain start, I can clench away

Here comes another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Here comes another day
Where trauma becomes my fate

Tell me that I've gotta clench to stay awake
Tell me that I've gotta clench the pain away
Here comes the pain, I can blow it away
Find a way to cope for another day
Sharp pain coming on, I'm blacked out
Next time it comes, I'm not gonna back out

Run to the back, find a place to lie down
Get on my back, hope the pain will die down
Ashamed of my mind, ashamed of my body
From now on I'm in control
But can I keep it all up

Here comes another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Here comes another day
Where trauma becomes my fate

It's a struggle of the mind
Cause and effect upon my body
It will take over no longer
As long as my will is good

Not another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Not another day
Where trauma becomes my fate

Hope you're staying safe during Quarantine and have a great day!
