Reasonable Day from Grey Meadows by Jimmy Sky

Inspired by a true story, 'Reasonable Day' is on one level, a lamentation of an extremely ugly relationship and the words dispersed by toxic people in the centre of their own breakup. An additional subtext discusses how people in pain only see their view of a situation, and as a result, their skewed experience becomes part of their perception. At its core, this is a song about rediscovering a positive mindset against a backdrop of misery, mental illness and love gone wrong.

Lyrics

You like to sit and cry
Say it's been hard to say goodbye
I like to remind you
There's someone by your side
To tell you every night
You my love
You are just so beautiful together
I love to ignore the part
Where your demons lived here in your heart
Gnawing at your brain
Until you were almost insane
And you prefer to show your friends
The texts I send
When I'm drunken and crazy

But it's a reasonable day
When we don't want to kill ourselves
And we don't to kill each other
So just this once
Forget forget forget
What we said

I got so much dirt on you
Fear and violence trauma too
You could lay some charges
If you really really wanted
But I hope that we're both better
Maybe work it through together
Friends say we're crazy
Calling it love
When you cracked me in the skull
With rocks and bottles
And definitely I throttled you
More than once
But it's not their decision
Derision is it my love

But it's a reasonable day
When we don't want to kill ourselves
And we don't to kill each other
So just this once
Forget forget forget
What we said
