Ad Nauseam
Déjà Vu. Here I am in the same place again, more times than I could possibly care to count. This cycle, this repetition, it’s sickening. As life really is just one big circle, I’ve gone through and over this ad nauseam. When will the ring break? Is there any chance of escape?
What Am I Doing?
Living To Die
Dying To Live
Living Up To What?
Standing Up Just To Fall Down Again
Laying Face Down Again
Just To Get Back Up
With No Room Left To Back Up
There's Nowhere To Go
Looking Forward To Turn Around
Walking Without Purpose
Speeding Up To Slow Down
Stopping And Taking Off Again
Rushing Into Nowhere
But I Can't Run Away Forever
So What Will I Do?
Try Again?
Move Ahead Just To Fall Behind
Save Some Time Just To Go Ahead And Waste It Again
And Then Try Again?
But To No Prevail
What Have I Done?
Nothing
To Give Up Again
And Get Up Another Time
For What Again Will Be The Last Time
Wishing Again I Could Go Back In Time
As If Things Could Be Different
Thinking Of What I Know Is Not True
Believing Just To Doubt
Hoping Just To Be Let Down Again
When Will I Learn?
To Stand For Something
And Live For Everything
But Instead I
Fall For Anything
And Die For Nothing
At The Cost Of Everything
In The Same Place
Again
And Again
Fool Me Once
Fool Me Twice
But Never Again
