Lyrics
The program says rest.
But my heart says lift.
This is my burden.
I walk past the gym on my way to the store
My gym bag is watching me from behind the door
They say the muscle grows when the body sleeps
But the iron is calling from across the street
Rest day... the hardest day of all
No pump, no burn, no protein call
Rest day... I'm staring at the wall
They say it makes me stronger
But it feels like I'm falling
Oh rest day... why do you hurt so much
I've checked my phone eleven times today
Watching lifting videos to pass the pain away
My muscles feel fine, I swear I could go
But the plan is the plan... and the plan says no
And somewhere in the silence
I hear the barbell whisper my name
"One little session won't hurt"
Get behind me, temptation!
I MUST REMAIN STRONG... BY DOING NOTHING!
Rest day... the hardest day of all
No pump, no burn, no protein call
Rest day... I'm staring at the wall
They say it makes me stronger
But it feels like I'm falling
Oh rest day... why do you hurt so much
Tomorrow I return.
Tomorrow I am reborn.
Tonight... I foam roll in the dark.
Alone.
