On Repeat

Sing pain through joint and bone
Fiber and sinew and brain
Breathe ache throughout the chest
And release to inhale again
Do it again, do it again
Every day, you do it again
Without a lover, without a friend
Awake and asleep and you do it again
Sing pain through dark of night
Morning and noon and eve
Breathe ache throughout the day
Entering only to leave
Do it again, do it again
Every day, you do it again
Without a lover, without a friend
Awake and asleep and you do it again
Sing pain because you know no other
Lyric, melody, or tempo
Breathe ache throughout the beat
Stopping in order to go
Do it again, do it again
Every day, you do it again
Without a lover, without a friend
Awake and asleep and you do it again
