Hey, it’s me
Your worst enemy
I’m right behind you
Are you coming through
Or are you leaving behind
All that’s brave and kind?

You won’t ever know
Was it real or just a show
When I told you, let go
Simply keeping it slow
Enjoy your life
Go out there, have a drive
Forget about your duties
Surround yourself with beauties
Just to wake up at night
Sweating, right in your sight
You see this empty sheet of paper

Deadline day is here
This is all you can hear:
I’m doomed, I will fail
Who told me I should trail
After low hanging fruits
When it’s the roots
That all glory’s grown from
Man, was I dumb

When the deadline has passed
The results will show if you’ll last
There’s an atmosphere of relief
When you’ve done it but just brief
Because right beneath cloud number nine
Hangs around the next deadline.
