My Job Is a Pain

Current Mood: Sick

You go on now I say

You have a hard day ahead

Get the kids up

Get them their breakfast fed

You've got laundry to start
You've got dishs to do

The dogs chasing the cat
The car alarms going off too

He can't find the remote

He can't silence the sound

You need to do it yourself

You know you're hellbound

Now the lunchs are packed
Now what's the dinner plan

Who has practice or a game

Who has to be their biggest fan

You know you are
You work according to plan

Once home after work
Once your real job begins

Everyone's bathed and in bed

Everyone's tucked in up to their chins

I have it easy you think

I have it the same every day

The alarm sounds at seven

The work starts as I pray

Not any breakfast for me

Not food only pills

I wipe the sweat from my face

I shrug off the cold chills

As I touch my nose

As I feel the pain

I remember the sores

I remember the bloodstain

To rub the sleep from my eyes

To rid the clouds as they be

Reminds me of sores on my eyes

Reminds me the reason it's hard to see

Go to brush my teeth

Go to groom my hair

More sores on my tongue

More hair loss to bare

It's been an hour half

It's been typical so far

I feel short of breath

I feel I've been hit by a car

Not the ice I chew

Not the food I eat

Nothing tastes good

Nothing but spicy or sweet

My lips crack

My skin itches so bad

I'm bruised from the scratching

I'm looking really sad

There again sounds the alarm

There it's time again too

Toss back pills in me more

Toss back feelings of blue

Or mad and tearful

Or morbid and crazy

I can't remember a thing

I feel nothing but hazy

My hands are numb

My fingers peck to type

All I do is laugh or cry

All to avoid the real gripe

The things that I think

The things in my head

Are caused by the medicine

Are to keep me alive not dead

I forgot what today is

I forgot what's in store

An injection more powerful

An inch in to my skin more

I fought the demons

I fought the tears

And laughed in hysteria

And denied my fears

Now to bed I do go

Now say good night to the day

To wake in a few hours

To another day the same way
