I am lying
all alone in my bed.
I am thinking
all by myself in my head.
The phone's ringing
another message comes in.
The usual crap
throw it straight into the bin.
Almost forgot it's today.
But hey, even if I may
all those strangers will remind me
that today is "my" day...
Outside the sun is shining
but I wish it'd rain.
The big spotlight is blinding
yet it's dark in my brain.
Today's the day
I wanna shut myself in at home.
I don't want your attention
please leave me alone.


Oh it's aunt A
what does she want?
Ah, just her once-a-year message...
I don't wanna respond.
12 hours left
better put the phone on mute.
All those people I don't care about
might think it quite rude.
But each and every message
it just says the same.
2 words without meaning
still, I am to blame?
You say I can make a wish
so here it is now:
Next year, same day,
please forget me somehow.
Outside the sun is shining
but I wish it'd rain.
The big spotlight is blinding
yet it's dark in my brain.
Today's the day
I wanna shut myself in at home.
I don't want your attention
please leave me alone.
