I roll my boulder up the hill
Heavy, rough and menacing
I push it slowly, it makes me ill
Eventually, it will roll down again
My feet are raw and my hands numb
It knows I will succumb
To the force that bears down
Yearning for the bottom
When I start like before
The burden is heavier again
So I sing a song too loud
To drown the crushing, crushing sound
