The blah ballet (Nordic Discord Challange)

Nordic Discord Challange - W21 Genre: Broadway musical Theme: The most boring day ever - a musical [INTRO – solo piano, melancholic and theatrical] (haaahhh) ... [VERSE 1] The toast was cold, the coffee weak My socks don’t match, my knee’s got a squeak (krrreeeek) The sky is grey in a boring kind of way Even pigeons looked away [PRE-CHORUS] The mail was late, the news was dull My goldfish yawned, my phone was null No messages, no calls, not a single thrill Just a lukewarm breeze and unpaid bills [CHORUS] Oh, it’s the world’s most tedious, torturous day Where joy took a cab and got far, far away No drama, no plot, just a snooze on repeat A tragedy written with overly clean sheets (snrrrrrrrrrr) [VERSE 2] I tried to hum, the tune gave up My shadow left me mid hiccup Even my cat refused to nap on me That’s how uneventful life can be (yaaawwwnnnn) [PRE-CHORUS] The neighbors fought… but on mute I slipped on air in my Sunday suit I tried to cry, but tears got bored And went to someone more adored [CHORUS] Yes, it’s the world’s most soul-sucking bore Where even my dreams start to snore No crescendo, no twist, just a blah ballet A matinee no one would ever replay (womp-womp) [BRIDGE – strings swell with dramatic irony] (Why am I singing this?) (Who writes songs about this?) If boredom were an art, I'd be the muse A living monument of midday blues! [CHORUS – key change for dramatic flair] Oh, it's the world’s most painfully plain day Where the climax ran off in complete dismay No sparkle, no thrill, not a villain in sight Just me and my soup that's too polite (sluuurp... hmmmmm) [OUTRO – solo piano, bittersweet and reflective] So here’s my tale of the dull and the drab Of a day so still, even silence took a nap But if this is my low, my life's own cliché… At least tomorrow's one scene away ...
