In My Dream I Hit the Bay

Am I awake or asleep
Don't remember if I counted sheep
Wondering if my dream is too cheap
Lying in the bed, waiting for that beep
No alarms but alerts
From Opsgenie ringing like a concert
Put on my shirt
Debug that broken TLS cert
Already feeling tired right after getting up
Can't help thinking about giving up
My life's a mess yet I don't wanna tidy up
Oh it's my turn, time for the stand-up
Reporting JIRA tickets progress
While thinking about progress of my life
Pure happiness got lost when I was five
Don't really know since when I just wanna survive

(I just wanna survive)

In my dream I hit the bay (hit the bay hit the bay)
Suddenly wake up I don't know what to say
Oh it's just another day
Where's the exit I can find no way
In my dream I hit the bay (hit the bay hit the bay)
Suddenly wake up I don't know what to say
Oh it's just another day, yet another day, yet another day

The very first semester
Except for video games I know nothing about computer
Yet my classmates are having fun with pointer
To win medals in Informatics Olympiad they worked like a bee
While I only watched sports in Olympics on TV
They are attending ICPC
While I'm having a hard time installing Linux on my PC
Got divided and conquered by algorithm
Just wanna get a fair score am I too greedy
Still Don't know what's NP complete
Guess this assignment I will never complete
Haven't secured an internship but next year I'm gonna graduate
At the rooftop of dorm smoking the last cigarette
Staring at the abyss feeling trapped by a gate
What's collapsing, is it my mental state
Not sure what to do hope it's not too late

In my dream I hit the bay (hit the bay hit the bay)
Suddenly wake up I don't know what to say
Oh it's just another day
Where's the exit I can find no way
In my dream I hit the bay (hit the bay hit the bay)
Suddenly wake up I don't know what to say
Oh it's just another day, yet another day, yet another day

Too many DP hard on my tray
Practice makes perfect they say
But man it's been a long day
Being chewed up like hay
I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining whatever company
But what I really want is just some company
In front of job market, everyone turns tiny
Working hard every day but maybe it's a show
Hustling nonstop but promotion gets slow
Back pain creeps in, can't even reach my toe
It's 2 am and I'm working on an incident report
Postmortem needed for a broken soul
Designing for scalability with a lifestyle that don't scale
Walking on a tightrope anytime can fail
Everything will be fine, nah it's just a fairy tale
Too many thoughts, almost stack overflow
Yet no one can tell

Hey, how're you doing today
Not even okay
I don't know man
Still got some bills to pay
But I just wanna lie down for a while, lie down for a while
At least not today
Lie down for a while, lie down for a while
Yay
