Time and time again

Time and time again

I can't please myself

 

 

The cost of repetition is

a small bruise that accumulates 

over and over again 

 

The weight of habit is

a comfortable jacket that constricts your reach

your steps, your endurance 

 

The minutes are so small it is 

easy to miss how quickly they become days; become years

as hourglasses fill with sand 

 

The irony of a blank ceiling is

how little it tells us and

how much time we spend

 

waiting for the message to change 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I was travelin' on a freeway  Beneath this graveyard western sky

I'm gonna set fire to this city, And out in the desert we're gonna ride
