The first complete song I wrote when I (re)discovered songwriting. It is about a time when I desperately wanted to write songs but I had other, bigger obligations to attend to :')

Lyrics:
Clothes to wash
Hair to braid
Groceries to buy
Bills to pay
Emails to read
People to write
The maintenance, maintenance,
Maintenance of life

Chased endlessly
By to-do lists
Game’s not over 
When I hit submit
When can I stop running to 
Catch my breath?
I love living but I’m 
Not scared of death

Crawl in a hole, curl up in a ball, cease to exist
No obligations, no expectations, gone with existence

The day I no longer have anything to do
The day I die is the day I look forward to

Nothing works
Everything drags
Never good enough
Never time enough
Chore to chore
I bounce – why me?
Crave carefreedom
Let me be

Crawl in a hole, curl up in a ball, cease to exist
No obligations, no expectations, gone with existence

Everything has a time and place
I feel now is the time for music

Chords:
Verse: Fm Cm D° Cm
Pre-chorus: Dm7♭5 Gm Cm 
Chorus: B♭ E♭ Gm D° E♭
