[Verse 1]
I could tell a hundred different stories bout an adverse setting
The feeling of a man's first weapon
The ceiling of the bottom floor room, Never seen white speckles
It’s evil when they Hyde like Jekyll
If bending over backwards still ain't make the last day special, It hurts when the back pain gets you
And that came with you when you showed up. Sho'nuff
Tried to keep it pushing
But the past ain’t let you

[Chorus]
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad

[Verse 2]
Swing swing swords, That's a metaphor
Never more clean things sworn worth a settle
Core feelings always bring sing song revelations
I've been battling with strong separation reflex
There ain't a place for me yet, But still I'm placing these bets
Pure hope
I can feel it tween the therapy sessions and sore throats, And dry eyes
The brink of the collapsing
And lord knows how we made it
Still developing patience when war close
The seat is at the table
Used to wonder how could I go on?
They gon throw me out if I show brawn
Every side of a person can serve a purpose, When the light show gone
If you don't do it
Who gon write those songs?
Nobody got the perspective except the reckless, That's the truth of the matter
Imma take it off the roof if I have to, To make it work
They done let me off the leash, And the leap imma take first
Being happy and tripping the same hurt
[Chorus]
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad

[Outro]
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced
Or sing another bad day ballad
