The Inevitable Struggle (a.k.a. Procrastination) - Original Song

A simple song about one of life's greatest trials.
Ironically, I wrote this while studying for a biology exam (but I passed!)

Lyrics:

There's a pile of work on the edge of my sight,
Slipping in and out of view.
Of bothersome things, of un-fun-filled things,
Things I'd rather not do right now.

And I tell myself I'll do it tomorrow,
But tomorrow never comes.
Now I find myself at the edge of the ocean
Dreading the rise of

The sun.
It signals the end of yesterday,
Of all the things I didn't do
Of things I didn't say.
And while you find hope I feel distraught
Because of my delay,
To do things when I know I should,
I procrastinate.

Sitting staring at the wall,
Simply not caring at all,
Wondering what insects do for fun.
I should be working,
I should be learning,
But instead I waste my time,
On pointless little rhymes,
Until I find the day is nearly done.

And I tell myself I'll do it tomorrow,
But tomorrow's slipping by.
If today is yesterday's tomorrow,
Why do I even try

To fight?
I'm losing a battle of the minds,
Struggling to juggle my ever fading time.
And while you're productive,
I'm sitting here alone,
Except for my imagination
And distracting new smartphone.

Don't you see
I'm wasting time just talking to you,
When I should be studying or learning something new.
Oh I've got work and more work
Piled up high on my plate.
But instead of doing what I should,
Instead of being someone good,
I think I might go get some food,
I procrastinate.
