I feel like I’m going in circles

I know I’ve done this before

I know I’ve seen this road up ahead

And it feels like my life is one big stupid loop.

I know I’ve been here before

It’s either pay this bill and go hungry

Or eat and have no heat.

It’s either fix your car and find a ride

Or pray each morning that the car will start.

It’s clean one room of your apartment,

And the next week you clean one room again,

Or you can re-clean the first room,

Which has somehow become a mess again.

It’s do this homework, one more time

I know I’ve been doing homework like this for years

Or you can fail the class and drop out,

But what about those two years?

I feel like it never ends.

I know I’ve been here at least one time before

I’ve walked these footsteps here a hundred times before,

This feels like one big circle,

And like all the circles that I have seen…

There is no end in sight of this one I’m circling.
