I don't feel like me anymore
don't feel like working ‘round the house
or on one of my infamous projects
keep forgetting to take a shower

wish I could get up close
and personal with those
I value and adore
my wife, my kids, my family, my friends

work feels like a glass-bottom boat
and all my trusted love,
seems imaginary and distant
am I going crazy or what?
