A day or two, the sun seems like it's new
It feels like there's a lot of things to do
And I've got the energy to push through
But the next, trees, leaves, life's draped in pretext
Cycles repeat while life seems incomplete
Till I find meaning then it becomes sweet
There is a purpose in being alive
And there is something firing up the drive
Then become distracted, lose perspective
And every day only means to survive
The ennui that hovers over my eyes
How tiring it is to wake up and rise
The same thing each day, circles, triangles
Whatever the shape, it never changes
Always the same areas, singing arias
Dwelling on repeat the same ideas
There's no life seen in the azaleas
It's always the same rambles and shambles
Then some advice, one or two, comes to me
Pretentious the word's speaker, they may be
If it will give me the vigor I lost
And comes completely free from any cost,
I'll grab at it, at whichever moment,
Anything, as long as it's consistent
And lasts longer than my previous lover
Or before my boredom comes to bother
When I grab it, whatever that is,
I hope it hits me with a lovely rush
I hope it makes the sun seems like it's new
And make me feel that there are lots to do
When the buzz disappears, I'm left perplexed
And the next, nature, life's draped in pretext
And life repeats, seems to be incomplete
Till I find meaning then it becomes sweet
There is a purpose in being alive
And there is something firing up the drive
Then become distracted, lose perspective
And every day only means to survive
The ennui remains and becomes stronger,
Than all my desires to become better
