In the loop

"Every day is the same..."

On and on and on and on,

One day bleeds into the next,

On and one and one and one,

What’s the time? I’ve lost all sense,

Stuck in the loop.

Stuck in the cycle I can’t break.

And nothing changes.

Wake up again,

Rise and shine…or is it?

On and on and one and one,

My thoughts are all scattered, my mind is a mess,

Stuck in a loop…

Stuck in a cycle everyday,

A cycle I didn’t create,

A cycle I don’t know how to break…

And nothing changes.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday…

Back, and then, to Sunday again,

Loop and loop and loop and loop,

And nothing changes,

Nothing changes.

I want to fight, I want to try,

I want to quit, I want to cry,

Stuck in a cycle I didn’t create,

Stuck in a cycle I cannot break,

Beating myself up again,

Again and again and again and again,

Up, Move, Down, Bed, Up Move, Down—

My head spins round and round and round,

And loop and loop and loop and loop,

And nothing changes…

(NOTHING CHANGES!!!)

…And if that sounds tiring…well, that’s because it is…

But to me it’s just, reality…

Every day…

Every day is the same…

Stuck in a cycle that I can’t break,

Stuck in a cycle that I DIDN’T MAKE…

One day bleeds into the next day, devoid of colours,

Days repeat themselves repeat themselves, the same as all the others,

Stuck in the cycle, stuck in the loop,

And nothing changes…

NOTHING CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
