Serenading The Listless
By yours fucking truly (aka Danny Cintron)
I'd spend all of my days
In a listless haze
Blissfully unaware of it all
One by one
Shifting slowly ahead
With no goal in mind
Except a choice in the matter yet
Sleepy eyes gaze ahead
Longingly, drowned in frustration
Weary of the routine
Heavy eyelids weighing down
Churning effort devoid of meaning
Save for the sake of sustenance
And the hope it brings
And it's hard to stay awake
When the days become a mindless grind
With no visible end in sight
As time ticks slowly away
And it's hard to stay awake
When the drive to ascend is fleeting at best
And it's hard to stay awake
When you'd rather be asleep
A conflict of mind and body
A defiance of self and design
Contemptuous and in denial
Excuses abound; nothing satisfies
Poised to end the misery
But even with open arms
The strength will not come
I'd spend all of my days
In a listless haze
Blissfully unaware of it all
And the skies reveal a bleak sunrise
That these eyes will happily ignore
Yes, kiddies, that means I might have to add vocals to this song sometime soon.
