Tick Tock

Light streams in as the sun rises,
My eyes refuse to open,
My legs fail to support my body.

My head feels like it is about to shatter,
Veins in my temple pulsate,
All I wolfed last night, fighting to escape.

Somehow I get out of bed,
Somehow I make it to work,
My boss screams, work piles up.

At last the day comes to an end,
I vow to go home straight,
The path goes past my watering hole.

Just one glass, no just a few drops,
And I will be on my way.
Promise is false, one leads to two,
Two leads to more.

Then darkness, i know not where I am,
Light streams in as the sun rises,
My eyes refuse to open.

Tick tock, tick tock,
Like a clock, one day into another,
Tick tock, tick tock.
