Day-Break

the lights go off at break of dawn
I’ll be forced out of my comfort zone
dressed to face a world I don’t like
geared to perform tasks without respite

I’ll be forced out of my comfort zone
my dreams all put out there in neon
geared to perform tasks without respite
vanished without a trace; I face day-break

my dreams all put out there in neon
promised so much in the dark night – now
vanished without a trace; I face day-break
I start the day with tonnes of regret

promised so much in the dark night – now
the lights go off at break of dawn
I start the day with tonnes of regret
dressed to face a world I don’t like
