Caffeine Teen
It's a three cups of coffee kind of day
Alarm goes off, race out of bed
Run so fast I lose my head
Through the door, into the rain
Into the car and out again
Because I forgot my coffee
It's a three cups of coffee kind of day
To the event, faces blurring
Fake smiling so hard my cheeks are hurting
Wolf down any food I can find
Alarm bells ringing in my mind
Calling for another cup of coffee
It's a three cups of coffee kind of day
Home again, swollen feet
Homework now, sheet after sheet
Drowning me, brain is sore
And there is one single miracle cure
Another cup of coffee
It's a three cups of coffee a day kind of life
All start and no stop
A rollercoaster of deadlines and events and socialising and school and-
-It never stops
And there are times when I feel like my body is going to break
bones crumbling to dust
But if I stopped
If I stopped taking coffee like vodka shots
If I swapped everything for nothing
Let's face it
I'd want it all back
Because although life may be hectic
A caffeine fuelled joyride with no end in sight
A relentless attack of dates and to-dos
Of good times replaced by new ones before I can savour their sweet taste
It's better than the bitterness of boredom
