This Is My Life

The alarm goes off at 5am

Time to start the day again

Coffees been brewed, get a cup

Time to wake my sleepy head up

Eat some cerealy, brush my teeth

Another day in the work week

Get in the car, head for work

Earn the money for which I search

    Seemingly more empty than a star less night

    Exceedingly more vacant than a love less life

    More solitaire than a jester's strife

           This is my life without you

     Editing days that have long since past

     Awakened by dreams that could not last

     Adrift on a ship that has no mast

          This is my life without you

Get to work ten minutes late

No the boss is on my case

Break my back then take luncg

Eat a bite then back to the grunge

The end of my shift rolls around

The starting car tolls the sound

Fight the traffic to get back home

I've ended my day as their drone

     Like a flower with no sun to shine

     A greedy man with nothing that's mine

     Open wounds followed by silent whines

           This is my life without you

     Driving down a road that was never paved

     Laboring in the world like a slave

     Surfing an ocean that has no waves

          This is my life without you

Through the door I hit the tub

The water fits me like a glove

Grab a towel that's hanging near

Head to the fridge to get a beer

I have a few, then I eat

The day's activities have me beat

Crawl in bed time to dream

Let me forget what wouldn't come clean

     To be a moon with no sky to fill

     Like a crusader that has lost his will

     To be in a service and can't sit still

           This is my life without you

     Like a canvas without any paint

     Having no time but still I wait

To have the pieces and be in checkmate

           This is my life without you
