The most boring day ever! (Nordic Discord Challange)

Broadway musical, duduk, taiko, male voice

[Verse 1]
I wake up late to the sound of my sigh,
Stare at the ceiling and I wonder why…
Put on my tie like a noose on my hope,
Breakfast? Dry toast. And a cold, soggy oat.

I comb my hair—what a thrilling delight!
Left shoe, right shoe, I’m losing the fight.
Grab my briefcase, it’s heavier today…
Maybe it's boredom… or just full of clichés.

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish life could sparkle and dazzle and glow!
But instead it just drizzles… real painfully slow.
I dream of adventure, excitement, a thrill!
But it’s The Most Boring Day… and it’s all downhill!

[Verse 2]
I talk to Bob by the water machine,
He tells me ‘bout taxes… in painstaking routine.
Nods and statistics, he loves every chart,
I feel my soul… slowly fall apart.

His slideshow of paperclips makes my brain fry,
The highlight? A new kind of stapler—oh my!
Lunch at my desk, a half-wilted salad…
The croutons are soggy. My life lacks all ballast.

[Verse 3]
The train is delayed, then it’s packed wall to wall,
I’m stuck by a man playing games on his call.
I open the paper—obituaries, great.
I read every word. That’s my highlight to date.

[Bridge]
"Why are you late?" she begins to complain,
"And did you forget to unclog the drain?"
Her voice is a drone, like a vacuum at noon,
My brain starts to hum… to a very sad tune.

Yes, it’s ALL… DOWN… HILL…

[Outro]
I lie in my bed, stare blank at the wall,
The ceiling’s still there… that’s the highlight of all.
I close my eyes, whisper "What can I say?"
Another success: surviving this day.
