Oh, happy days, how they've ended
I yearn for easier times gone by
When life was simple, and life was good
And time didn't really matter to us at all.
The days have grown so much longer
And the skies seem dark and dreary
I shudder when I see the world outside
Because it seems uncomfortably close to myself.
I've lost all my joy and happiness
They ran quickly away from me
When the sun hid back, behind the clouds
Just to stay away from me.
Oh, how time changes things
We've evolved from our regular selves
I hate the person whom I've become
Because he's a distant stranger to me.
These days seem so much longer now
The seconds pass with only one purpose-
To torture this already tortured soul
And tear me apart, limb from limb.
This day is almost over now
I've passed these long hours in agony
But I look forward to seeing tomorrow come
So I can release my worries of today.
