Quotidian Blues

Good morning blues
Feel like my eyes are still shut
Don't really need them
As I wander blindly through this rut

I stumble through the day
Bumping into everything
Nothing gets out of my way
And I feel every sharp pang

And the people greet me
They say, how do you do?
I answer with a mask
Cause they don't want to see the truth

In the afternoon I drink some coffee
Hope it'll keep me awake
But I'm still groggy
And I'm starting to get the shakes

Everybody wants to know
What are my weekend plans
I'd tell them I need to be alone
But they wouldn't understand

When the nighttime falls
The change in light don't seem much
I flip through one hundred channels
Each one makes me feel out of touch

I get ready for bed
Wash my face and brush my teeth
Some habits are healthy
But it don't mean they give relief
