The alarm is sounding
Time for me to get up
I reach through the darkness
Fumble round and switch it off
I pad down the stairs
To the cold light of dawn
It's moments like these I feel most alone
I sit in the kitchen
With a coffee cup in hand
Contemplating the day ahead
It's all so carefully planned
Why do I feel anxious
Why don't I feel pain
My emotions are things I can't explain
I don't have a bad life
Lovely kids and a beautiful wife
Wish I could do better
To protect them and make things right
But here comes the darkness
Though it's getting light outside
I'm stuck in a loop in the cul de sac of my mind
