I'm stuck in a rut, and this rut is sticky

No signs of escape to roads out of this city

I'm just paying my dues from a bankrupt account

Struggling to earn enough capital letters to spell it out

This repetition has become it's own deja vu

A copy of a copy of not knowing what to do

So I'm though. I'm not gonna take it no more.

Wait, did you like that? Let me do an encore.

I'm sick to death of this illness

Viruses up to my irises yet I'm not feeling fulfillness

So I'll fill myself with whatever facts I feel belong

Did you know that what you know is known to be wrong

I find comfort in that, so I settle down in an armchair

Made of whatever nice half-truths that I happened to find there

I lay them around me as a protective thought

So you can try to batter through while I cook you up a treat

You'd better not harden up else you wont take the heat



I kidding of course,

Let me open up a discourse,

I've been working tough,

But I think I've worked enough,

So if you'll humour me

And wait patiently

I've got one last job to do

Until I break through...
