This is a song I made in 2013, was supposed to be a part of my album ANGST, but I just couldn't get it to work. HOWEVER, just recently I heard the demo and the song has a brash personality and an independent spirit. So, here it is... in all its glory, untouched, distortioned, unperfect, the way it should be.

LYRICS:
## Hard Days
Without these hard days
I wouldn't know about these fun nights
A long day makes your beer taste better
And the hugs and the kisses so much more

We put our whole souls into each day,
living from check pay to pay
overdrawn checking accounts
and dealing with a busted car

There is worse than this, Where there's war and famine.
places I can't even imagine. So I am great right here!

Let's fight. I'll take these hard days.

I just had a hard day today, feeling like a machine, less of a man
Working 10 straight hours, grinding the cogs
feeling like I'm wasting my life

And the reward is long nights sipping wine
and maybe some eggs and coffee before dawn
and a good conversation
talking how we can make the world a better place.. according to us.

What is better than this, You say "fame and fortune".
Man, that's not me. I am great right here!
Let's fight. I'll take these hard days.

The day is over, let's get together
and call all of our friends pass me a cold beer, let's go out
oh how good it feels going down my throat
and into my blood let drink more and more and mooooore

Oh my god, where am I?
And where are my clothes?
Who are you people?
I gotta go because I just had me a long and grueling, powerful, wonderful, full of promise... a long ass fucking day

I'll take these hard days
