Oblivion
My job requires 1% of my energy, concentration and input
If it required more i'd probably quit by now if not fired
Every evening I walked into my cave
But now the cave is crowded
Five human beings that require a hi and how was your day
Can I sleep at work please?
I don't remember fellowship
Actually I don't want fellowship
I keep wishing for oblivion
I don't know how to wake up
I don't want to wake up
Sometimes I do but when I remember all the explanations I have to give
Why's the house dirty
Why are the sinks worse
Why were you acting cold
Why din't you care? Or act like you did
All these form a rigid punch
I want to knock out the whole damn world
Instead of that, I sink, I float, I walk away
I swallow pain and feelings
There is a whole in my stomach, in my heart and in my head
I have questions for God
Like where were you?
Where are you?
Really all those prayers?
ohh really?
Can I just sleep now.
