The Rat Race 2

for years
and years
i've been
running
this tread
mill

if i knew
i was in a
race just to
produce 
electricity for
you

i would have
hooked the
battery to
my brain
and have
run

myself
insane
with volts
of bolts of
electro
shock

therapy
but instead
i ran and
then
one
day

hopped
off and
let you
instead
become
insane
