about

like it says, an ode to sisyphus, but also a reminder to self that this shit ain't a sprint

lyrics

Yo, yo yo, yo

Round and round the world spinning, stone sticking, bone contorting

yo



Round and round the world spinning, stone stick and bone contorting

Cracking, fracturing statures, but some say words are haunted

Crammed in back of your grey matter, just staggered, daunting

Stabbing jabs like a dagger dragging across your wanting,

I can tell by your manner how deeply you been carved in

I can tell by the banter how bad old wounds are scarring

I've been held by my cancers, canckers and own discordance

But I can't tell by your answers whether your self-exploring

Everybody got their demons that feed off ignoring

There's no way to confront or defeat 'em force to force when

you're attached to pink tinted glass, endorsing choices

Rose-lensing a spotted past, condoning thorning

I get stuck myself sometimes in garden beds I'm growing

Still I'd rather work the soil on some heaving toiling

While some cultivate their world, calibrating the scoping

I'm not scared to chip a nail in the grit of the molding

I'm not scared to chip a nail in the grit of the molding

I'm not scared to chip a nail


Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Sometimes I barely can bare the baton

But life’s a marathon, I carry on

Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Sometimes I barely can bare the baton

But life’s a marathon, I carry on


I'm not scared to chip a nail in the grit of the molding


Round and round the world spinning, stone sticking, bone contorting

Round and round the world spinning, heart stricken, soul absorbing

Round and round the world spinning, stone sticking, bone contorting

Round and round the world spinning, heart stricken, soul absorbing

Round and round the world spinning, stone sticking, bone contorting

Round and round the world spinning, heart stricken, soul absorbing

Round and round the world spinning, stone sticking, bone contorting

Round and round the world spinning, heart stricken, soul absorbing


I'm not scared to chip a nail in the grit of the molding

I'm not scared


Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Sometimes I barely can bare the baton

But life’s a marathon, I carry on

Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Life’s a marathon, I carry on

Sometimes I barely can bare the baton

But life’s a marathon, I carry on


Life's a marathon

Life's a marathon
