Round the Clock

I don’t wanna live forever
I don’t wanna die alone
I don’t wanna die over and over
I don’t wanna have to love alone
Again

I don’t wanna live forever
I don’t wanna die alone
I don’t wanna die over and over
I don’t wanna have to love alone
Amen

Stuck in a loop
I’m stuck in a loop
Stuck in a bowl
Of cereal or soup
I’ve got no control
Floating like cornflakes
Swirling round and round
I try to scream out and shout
But my mouth is sewn shut
And won’t make a single sound

Twelve hours of sleep on a Sunday
Just to prepare for the coming Monday
It ain’t gonna be a fun day
Now that’s for sure
My joints all sore
I wake up late
I dreamt of snow
A flaky white paradise
With massive castles crafted
From the bricks of an igloo
But now I’m awake
And my brain is slow
I stare into the mirror
Thinking “who the fuck are you?”
I slept too long
I forgot who I was
This life is all wrong
And now I’m gonna get
Chewed out by my boss

I get to work
Fifteen minutes late
It won’t happen again
I say to my boss
“It better fucking not
Or I’ll be cutting you
As a loss”
I stare at the clock
Watching it close
The hours flow by
Tick tock tick tock
One two three four
Five six seven bore
It’s moments like these
That time doth not fly
Moments like these
That maketh men cry

I get home
Slam shut the door
And once again
The dog’s shat on the floor
This is the way it always is
This is the way it’ll always be
Picking up shit and stepping in piss
That’s life for ye baby
That’s life for ye

Stuck in a loop
I’m stuck in a loop
Stuck in a bowl
Of cereal or soup
I’ve got no control
Floating like cornflakes
Swirling round and round
I try to scream out and shout
But my mouth is sewn shut
And won’t make a single sound

Let’s go again
Let’s go again
Again
Again
Again
And again

I don’t wanna live forever
I don’t wanna die alone
I don’t wanna die over and over
I don’t wanna have to love alone
Again

I feel like I’ve lived forever
I think I’m gonna die alone
And when I go to sleep
I feel like I’m dying over and over
I just know I’ll have to love alone
Never again

I write stuff. Mostly comedy. Probably unfunny, if it's not your cup of tea drink coffee.
