(SONG) Daylight Robot/Midnight Dreamer

I really enjoyed writing my Daylight Robot poem, and was inspired to create song lyrics based on it.

Notes: italics mark the prechorus, bold marks the chorus, and underlining marks the brigde. The rest is the verses.

DAYLIGHT ROBOT/MIDNIGHT DREAMER--Rough draft song lyrics

Wake up

Out of bed

Brush my teeth

Comb my head

Same as every single day

Out the door

Off to work

Greet my boss

Who’s still a jerk

Asking when the world turned gray?

Go home

Go to bed

Close my eyes

Rest my head

But I must wake up someday

And as the daytime creeps along

The daylight robot sings her song 

Waiting for the sky to turn gold

The days are but the hours

That keep her from her dreams

When I’m asleep

Then I am free

I can be anything

And everything

That I could want to be

My sole release

From reality

And the midnight dreamer

finally set free

Wake up

Out of bed

Another day

Another dread

It’s just too early for this

Every day

More of the same

No wonder I

Can’t keep sane

When’s the last time I felt bliss?

And as the daytime creeps along

The daylight robot sings her song 

Waiting for the sky to turn gold

The days are but the hours

That keep me from me

When I’m asleep

Then I am free

I can be anything

And everything

That I could want to be

My sole release

From reality

And my midnight dreamer

Is finally set free

Dreaming, scheming

Flying, soaring

Life is boring

When dreams are soaring

Dreaming, screaming

Falling, pouring

Life is boring

~

When I’m asleep

Then I am free

I can be anything

And everything

That I could want to be

My sole release

From reality

And my midnight dreamer

Is finally set free
