lyrics

I open my eyes and I look out the window
the suns shining brightly into my room
I hear the birds singing but they're a red herring
cause all I feel is gloom
I don't wanna live the same day over again
just to be the same person I've always been
I'll only make the same mistakes and give the same excuse
really, what's the use?

coffee might wake up my brain
and there are plenty of pills for other aches and pains
but I can't seem to shake this feeling of woe
Woe-oh
you know I can't get up in the morning without viagra for my soul

So I lower the blinds try to hide in my pillows
contemplating ways to sleep forever
'cause maybe in those dreams I'd escape these shadows
but chances still are slim to never
cause i'm trapped in a cycle of not quite good enough
disproportionately hindered by all the wrong stuff
I could make a list of goals to try to rearrange
but it's too hard to change

coffee might wake up my brain
and there are plenty of pills for other aches and pains
but I can't seem to shake this feeling of woe
Woe-oh
you know I can't get up in the morning without viagra for my soul

well child
I'll tell it to you straight
the competition is stiff
and performance anxiety
oh, she's a bitch
they say life's hard
and nothing comes free
I just with it weren't so
hard on
me

coffee might wake up my brain
and there are plenty of pills for other aches and pains
but I can't seem to shake this feeling of woe
cause really there's no recourse for my impotent soul
