Lift the needle
From the record
It's time we
Settle this
Because if
We keep playing
The music we
Call life
The grooves
Will distort
And I'll be
Stuck
Scratched and
Endlessly spinning
On track four
Aching, and yearning
to progress
My way past you
I seek to find
My way
To a new track,
Titled
'A New State of
Mind'
But I can't
Seem to get
Out of this
Current state
(You played me
This time)
Not knowing
how to stop
I'm stuck in a
Loop
Forever stuck on replay
(I just want a
Day
Where I'm not
Dying inside
I just want to
Be fine today)
The diamond needle
Digs deeper
In the grooves
Making the vinyl
Weaker
And all that's left
Is a shell of myself
In this preserved state
Lift the needle
From the record
I'm tired of being
Played on a broken
