"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.
