Waking up at 4 am to get ready for work
I miss the days in college when I'd sleep in
and catch up on class later
I get up not because I have to
of course, not because I want to
and not because I love you
just because I should
and I'm trying to pretend
I'm a half decent reliable man
Trying to avoid fast food
lying to myself when I suck in my gut
I'd eat a salad,
but there's just something about greens
that take away that blood thirsty meat hunter
instinct I'd like to think I have
nowadays I'm pretending to be
a million different things
Maybe I'm growing as a man
or maybe I'm curling up my fists
getting ready for that quick jab to jaw
and looking for one more reason
to throw in the towel
