Work and Play

When will I ever have time for fun It feels as if it has been a century since I have seen the sun I work all day, Sometimes all night I am so tired of this endless cycle already And it is just begun Will I ever have time again for fun? For smiles, and the sun? They say if you work hard, Than you play hard Work and play And work and play Will that help take the pain away? Probably not, guess I’ll just go smoke some pot What can I do? What can I say? That will help this pain go away? I’ve taken all the pills And done all the drugs But still my secrets are swept under the rug What can I do When no one else is like you. But now, I am not playing at all I feel like all I do is fall Or maybe just give up too easily. Sometimes my thoughts are just like an infectious disease The world doesn't see what they do to me Am I happy, or Am I sad? Why do I get so very mad. Do you see the light? No, not yet. But one day it’ll shine, Shine happily upon I
