Waking up, but not really...

As the world spins, grows
and dies
I'm too absorbed in petty problems
constant apathy
an unhappy soul
to feel anything
I'm the embodiment
of a wasted existence
I notice nothing outside
my car or bank balance
and know no other way
I haven't heard music
for such a long time
but it's time for work
another day's here
and these waking thoughts
will soon be crushed
under the terrifyingly simple
thoughtless thoughts.
