when you're not feeling quite like your best
and you've struggled and struggled to get dressed
what do you do?

as time ticks by slowly
and the cold air feels homely
wait, how is the view?

you step up to the sound of kids chatter
your hairs a mess, they call you mad hatter
the birds in the nest, they flew

too late to go back
why can't you keep on track?
so since you've lacked we 'll use this hack;
a messy bun will do

come to think of it,
is that what i use?
a lazy hairdo to hide the real truth?

dress real hasty
look real pasty
haven't i gotten the clue?

i should stop hiding
maybe start confiding
find something worth laughing and putting my time in

or...
keep on keeping on with my messy bun
