Nothing Changes

Press the repeat button once more
it's all we know.
Think we're moving ahead,
when we're only going backwards.
Try recalling where did it go wrong.
Smashing the walls around me,
only to find another in it's place
and my hands are bleeding.
Give me something to numb this,
pretend it doesn't exist.
It's what we do best.
Raise your glass to another
messed up generation.
On repeat, same movie, different actors
same outcome, why even try?
Why even bother?
Repeat, repeat ,spinning, spinning
laws we sadly live by.

It must be the cyclic way of life. We've been her so many times before but surely, there must be hope for change and a dream that can rise from life's predictabilities.
