**「One More Honest Morning」**

You lace your boots, sky still gray
Hands shake a little from yesterday
Dust in your lungs, back talks back
You mutter, “Alright,” and step to the stack

Concrete cuts, sun comes hard
Lunch tastes like work, work tastes hard
You clock the hours, count the cans
Every dollar’s got a bottle planned
(mm—mm—same old day)

You tell yourself, “Just get through”
But the night keeps calling you

Are you working for the drink tonight
Or working to get your life back right
If you set it down, just for today
Would your hands feel lighter anyway
(set it down—set it down)

Payday hits, it’s gone by dark
Storefront glow like a flare in the dark
You laugh it off, say, “I’m fine”
But the mirror don’t buy that line
(oh—oh—don’t lie)

Are you working for the drink tonight
(for the drink) (or your life)
If you skip that door, keep walking past
Does the road feel wide at last
(walk on—walk on)

Machines go quiet for half a breath
You hear your heart, you feel the depth
No speeches, no big plan
Just one small choice in your hand
(one small choice—)

Set it down tonight, let it be
No more trading bones for whiskey
You’re tired, yeah, but you’re still here
Take one clean step, make it clear
(set it down—set it down—tonight)

You’re working for a different day
Hands still rough, but a clearer way
When morning comes and the sky turns blue
You’ll know you did what you could do
(you could do—yeah)

One more honest morning

**「正直な朝をもう一度」**

まだ暗い中で安全靴を結ぶ
昨日のせいで指が少し震える
肺に残る埃　鳴る腰
「まあいいか」って呟いて今日に入る

コンクリートは固く　日差しは重い
昼メシの味は仕事　仕事の味は苦い
時間を削って　缶の数を数え
稼いだ金には全部　酒の行き先がある
(mm—mm—same old day)

「とりあえず今日を越えろ」そう言い聞かせる
でも夜はいつも 名前を呼んでくる

今夜も酒のために働くのか
それとも人生を取り戻すためか
今日だけでいい　置いてみたら
この手は少し軽くなるか
(set it down—set it down)

給料日　日が沈む前に消える
店の明かりが闇で光る
「大丈夫」って笑ってみせるけど
鏡の中は信じちゃいない
(oh—oh—don’t lie)

今夜も酒のために働くのか
(for the drink) (or your life)
そのドアを越えずに歩いたら
道は少し広くなるか
(walk on—walk on)

機械が一瞬　黙る
自分の鼓動が聞こえる
大きな誓いはいらない
この手にあるのは 小さな選択ひとつ
(one small choice—)

今夜は置いていけ　もういいだろ
骨を削って酒に替えるのは
疲れてる　でもまだ立ってる
一歩でいい　はっきり踏み出せ
(set it down—set it down—tonight)

違う明日のために働く
この手は荒れても　道は見える
朝が来て　空が青くなれば
やれるだけやったと分かる
(you could do—yeah)

正直な朝をもう一度
