"life In B Flat"

Oh, it can be hard to rise from my bed Numbness in my heart Pain in my head The door is locked I'm too scared to look Cause someone knocked My knees, they shook Pulled the covers Over my head Oh just what I fear And so baddly dread I know not why Or how, i say Once was strong In a younger day I've failed to open Any mail this year No good news inside Just bad, I fear I wish I could crawl back in the womb Oblivious of My ultimate tomb Only in sleep Does my fear go away So I treasure the night And detest the day So life is like the blues Played in B flat And like the nineth life Of an unlucky cat So change the key And hope it works And if it does Like so many jerks Start anew, and test the water And leave behind What you ought'a.
