Can't say a word
My throat is numb from not speaking
Dragging along my feet
to the next snack
Looking through the TV
Headrush from getting up
and "that sinking feeling" as I lie...
Can't stay in, can't go out
I fear if I sleep I'll lose out on the day
lose out on... what...?
Out of ideas to kill time
It's now time that kills
No hunger, no pain
Just plain boredom
Switching channels
with every beat
Slow... like the passing minutes of the day
No sound of tick-tock
from the cell phone electronic clock
No idea which way the sun went
Scratching my cuticle
Nails already bitten
Thinking of the ambition
I'm losing sight of
....
