The prompt for this one was "How are you feeling right now?" The response was overwhelming... it was clear so many people were (and still are) struggling with the last several years. And although I grabbed the first response as the title, much of the lyrics are made up of the other responses to that prompt.
lyrics
Let's call it a day
I can't keep my chin off my chest
I'm stuck and my soul needs a rest
I'm daunted, depleted and stressed
It's like I don't fit in my skin
Don't even know where to begin
I'll either give out or give in
And I'm so bleary
I should collapse in a heap
But I'm Bone Weary
And too tired to sleep
You gotta admit
We've been through so much for so long
I'm finding it hard to stay strong
Pretending that nothing is wrong
I"m broken and beat up and sore
Don't think I can fight anymore
So go ahead and run up the score
And I'm thrown clearly
I've been digging too deep
Cause I'm Bone Weary
And too tired to sleep
And I don't think I can shoulder it
But I can't seem to get over it
I'm whoa-o-o-o
And I don't think I can shoulder it
But I can't seem to get over it
I'm o-o-o-o...
Let's call it a day
I can't keep my chin off my chest
I'm stuck and my soul needs a rest
I'm daunted, depleted and stressed
And maybe it's all overblown
There's so many things left unknown
And I don't want to face them alone
Cause I'm weary right down to my bones
Down to my bones
