Relentless Attacker
Pressed It
Pushed It
Punched It
Killed It
With eyes shut
I heard it erupt
The sense of sound was guiding me
I couldn't see
But I could hear
My ears will never lie to me
Pressed It
Again as I embarked
To a journey in the dark
I was feeling naive
It struck me again
I wished this would end
So I made it beg and plead
Pushed It
As I slipped away
Winning this day
This battle, but not the war
Fading away is my memory
Fading away to history
But it came back for more
Punched It
That'll teach it
That's the last time I reach it!
Next time I'll kick it's ass
In the back of my mind,I knew it'd be back
So I patiently waited, for it's next attack
This one would be my last
Killed It
My eyes were now open
I'm done with just hoping
It was time for this to stop
30 of my minutes... gone
I flicked the switch to off from on
I finally defeated the alarm clock
...or did it defeat me
