No time.

Adrian Gretton

No time for me, no time to rest.
It's just another day .
Ironing, cleaning, washing hoovering.
Wasting my life away.....

Everyone wants a piece of me.
Always someone to see.
Why can't I just be alone.
Why can't I just be me.....

Always trying to be happy.
Always wearing my mask.
Everything is so difficult.
Even the simplest task.

All I want is solitude
Quiet, peace and rest.
All I get is hassle
And another endless quest.

I want to lock myself away.
Or even better die.
I don't want to pretend.
I don't want to live a lie.

No one really understands.
I'm not sure that they care.
I'm not sure they'd even notice
If I wasn't there.

So why not just end it now.
And make everybody's day.
I'll take my life and end my strife
And take all the misery away.............
