Four Walls

Four walls i know too well, silence is disturbing
It reminds me i’m alone. procrastination
Gotta get my shit together
Gotta go out and get a life of my own
I’ll call my friends
They all work too many hours in the day
Pick up my pen, i try to write
But i’ve got nothing to say
I watch t.v. 'til it’s the end of me
Is there anything more? come eight-o-clock
And i’m out that door just another night of nothing
Like the nothing before. the t. v
Set it occupies my wasted time
Until anxiety it finds me and it starts to get me down
So i sit here and i sink a little deeper
I am crippled by security that keeps me safe and sound
The t.v. set my only friend my artificial sun
On for hours on end. my window on a world
I just don’t see my simulcast life of monotony
New generation futures in my hands
Infrared remotes obeying my command
Another night of nothing
Just like the nothing before
I got no ties that’ll bind still i can’t make up my mind
I’ve got no place to go
That i can leave this place behind neurosis starts to breed
I can feel it eating me
Another visit from my old friend anxiety
Get up, walk away, then i’m reminded
While i stay. i got no place to go to end all this dismay
The couch is like quicksand, the floor is like tar
The tv sucks me in
Assures i won’t get far
Hands on a clock and they’re going backwards
Another night of nothing, like the nothing before
