Ennui at first

I stare in the air but I know not where 
Its days like these that are hard to bear 
It's boring! It's plain. I'm going insane! 
What I wouldn't give to jump on a plane. 

Ennui ain't something that I usually fear 
But I'm frightened today because it's finally here 
I'm being attacked! What a dreadful fiend! 
In a worse situation I have never been 

Boredom is the worse state one could possibly be 
Except for a state named Tennessee 
If you thought boring was your present place 
You'd think Tennessee was a smack in the face 
And if faith you don't fancy because it's not your thing 
Belt right out the Bible belt because only Jesus it brings 

I think I've found relief. Yeah, I think I'm saved! 
But before I had the feeling that I was quite depraved. 
I'm out of its grasp because my mind is a mountain. 
Rare like Rasputin, my rhymes pour out of a fountain 

What a difference a distraction can make! 
That's the kind of pleasure that a wife can't fake. 
But boredom and sex are two separate things 
You might not agree in which case I'm sure that this stings 

Well I'm good, I'm great, gonna celebrate! 
I hope you hop a ride to a similar fate 
Apathy and listlessness are dangerous things 
So you got to fill the void when the fat lady sings.
