240208: Harder When You're Sick

from Leap Songs, Part 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

It hurts to talk hurts to sing
Hurts to do most anything
I got these chills down my spine
And I'm tired all the time

Whatever jerk invented viruses
I got a bone to pick
The days keep marching forward
Just harder when you're sick

Stocking cap beneath my hood
Thermometer don't look too good
Canceled plans so I can sleep
Eat chicken soup and vitamin C

I try to be a badass
My ass is truly kicked
Big world keeps on turning
Just harder when you're sick

Some future day I will die
Leave behind these bones of mine
And even then six underground
No guarantee I'll stay down

I'm either living or I'm dying
On the bench or in the mix
And I plan to carpe every diem
Just harder when you're sick
