I woke up out of bed about an hour ago
I'm wondering why I'm so broke
I've nestled on the couch about a week or so
I fill my mind with drink and smoke

Inspiration taunts, I try to get away
Apathy as strong as wine
Thinking I can do it, pick up all my slack
But I can't seem to find the time

Where did I go now I want to know why
I can't seem to get ahead
Like it was before

Time spent thinking, I waste away
Chasing my own tail around
Searching for the person I thought I once was
I wonder if he can be found?

How will I know when the time is right to try?
Will this monotony end?
