These events in life.
Decisions. Emotions. Outcomes.
Sifting through like clockwork.
Popping up and reminding;
That we don't change
Deep inside
We're helpless to resist;
How we act
What we say
Just electricity flashing
Inside our empty heads
We're on shuffle and repeat
Cause people don't change.
They just follow the pattern
That is set too soon.
But then there is hope
Of something new
To break the cycle
Destroy the machine.
Life takes hold,
Meaning comes back.
Shuffle and Repeat.
It leaves you behind
Only to wait once again
For another short glimpse
A new sign of sorts
For a brief burst of bliss
A smile perhaps?
Or even a kiss.
But Shuffle and Repeat
Once again to disappoint.
Familiarity sinks in.
Loneliness and deceit.
