Mundane Blues

Why am I so glum today?
Floating on this sunny day
There’s barely a cloud in the sky
Or a trouble to cast a shadow on my mind
Relaxing with no point of view
Chilling got my life on cruise
Got my jams and my remote control
Plenty of babes willing to rock and roll
It all seems so easy, yet why am I so queasy?

My heartbeat pound out the truth
I really can’t get away
From the clouds and the rain
Wreaking havoc on my brain
A strident call an endless refrain

 “Help me,” I hear someone say
“I’m dying,”  I hear it once again
I recognize the voice as my own
I feel dread in its stilted tone
I see the shock in the many faces
I hear the tic-tock in the silent spaces

I think I’m going to sleep
I think I’m going to weep
I think I’m going to…….
I know I really ought to………
