Black Letter Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I did all that I should, well all that I could
but will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
but it isn't me
all my strength is dead and gone
slept as long I could, as long as I should
to find comfort here
slept as long I could, as long as I should
but I still have fear
all my strength is dead and gone...
black letter day
all the fun / joy / strength
..has gone away
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
in simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
to find someone there
I hope monday will be a better day
