When I'm feeling like I'm drowning,
Suffocating, am barely breathing
When water enters my lungs
Choking the life out of me
I feel stiffled, I need to escape!
Away from all these, away from here
But where else could I go?
And what else could I do?
Is there any way to get through this?
Is there a key to my cage?
A ladder out of my tunnel?
Desperation and depression,
Stop bothering me~!
Fatigue and temptations,
Please leave me alone~!
Let me get this done,
Let me finish my work!
You're not helping,
You're making this worse!
Time! Time! I need more time!
When daylight turns to night
As papers piled up higher than high
As I slumped across my table in despair
Sighing at my work
Looking for an escape
Finding an excuse
Getting away!
Reality sets in
The work never went away
Sighing again
I trudged to my desk
And the sound of typing and isolation
Faded into the background noise of life
