Analysis of Maybe Not Today
The illusion of life is called upon
When the vision i see becomes unclear
I can't change the way I feel
I can only deal with the image
Why can't I close my eyes and go to sleep
Wake each day with a mind I'd like to keep
The stress of life is hard to bare
Just imagine it wasn't there
Everything will be ok
Nothing ever seems to stay
Its just the quest I have dealt for me
And one day I will be free
