Bleary eyed and fuzzy headed I wake up with a start
And feel the dryness of my mouth and hear the thudding of my heart
Which drowns out unfinished thoughts and the memories of last night
Flashing through my weary brain, withdrawing from the light
That streams in through my windows taunting me with midday sun
So I know I’ve missed the morning, I was out late having fun
Or so that is what the fragments of the visions I remember
Have led me to believe, I think I need to send a
Message to my friends just to check that all’s okay
So hungover paranoia doesn’t haunt me through the day
Like my painful throbbing headache will, reminding me that next week
I must drink a lot more water before I go to sleep,
Oh what I wouldn’t give for a glass of water now
In reach from my pillow, I’m not quite sure how
I can get up from my bed without it, my body mimicking
A sack of slowly hardening cement that’s sticking
To my mattress, I’ll be doomed if I don’t get up soon
Not sure I have the willpower to get up before the moon
Appears tonight, but I must find that will from deep inside me somewhere
Or I’ll slowly turn nocturnal, but I almost do not care
So long as I stay wrapped up in the warm cosy embrace
Of my duvet in my bedroom, my cave, my safe place.
