What Year Is It?!

VERSE 1

The curtains are drawn, the world is outside...

I laid down my head, with nowhere to hide.

Just twenty short minutes, the timer was set,

A brief intermission, no guilt, no regret.

But the portal has opened, the vortex was deep,

I dipped just a toe in the ocean of sleep.

CHORUS

WHAT YEAR IS IT?! WHAT YEAR IS IT?!

My mouth is a desert of sand!

My left arm is numb, my depth perception is gone,

I am a stranger in my own homeland!

I only closed my eyes for a moment, I swear!

Now I wake to the weight of a thousand nightmares!

The darkness... the horror... the afternoon sun!

Oh god, what have I done?!

VERSE 2

I check my reflection, my face has a crease,

Imprinted by pillows, disrupting my peace.

My phone says it’s four, but my soul says it's dawn,

The fabric of time is completely withdrawn.

Did I miss the election? Did the empire fall?

Did I miss a crucial tech-support call?

I am colder than ice, yet I’m dripping with sweat,

This is the deepest betrayal I’ve met.

BRIDGE

I am too tired to sleep!

I am too tired to wake!

Every bone in my body is starting to ache!

I just wanted a boost! A refreshing restart!

Instead, I have shattered my mind and my heart!

LEEEEEEAVE ME HEEEERE TO DIEEEE!

CHORUS

WHAT YEAR IS IT?! WHAT YEAR IS IT?!

The timeline is completely destroyed!

My brain is a fog, my equilibrium cracked,

I am staring straight into the void!

I only closed my eyes for a moment, I swear!

Now I wake to the weight of a thousand nightmares!

The darkness... the horror... the afternoon sun!

Oh god, what have I done?!

OUTRO

I am... so thirsty.

Where are my keys?

My alarm is still blaring but I can’t find the phone.

It’s buried in the blankets.

The vibrations are rattling my skull.

Oh no... it's a video call from my boss.

AAAAAHH!

Oh lucky me! at least its not the police...
