  • Dismal Day

    I look into my morning mirror
    And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
    I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
    An empty lonely face was starin' back at me

    All and all, I would have to say
    It's been a rather dismal day

    The afternoon was slow in coming
    I drug myself outside the people that I knew would be there
    And though they walked along pretending not to care
    I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare

    CHORUS

    And now the evening shadow's falling
    I guess it's best I lay my hopes to rest for no one's calling my name
    I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
    I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
