Feedback Loop

Wake up to the next patch of awkward silence and setbacks

The effort is not worth the while

It all ends up squandered and thrown on the pile

But you can't quantify my innocence

Can't put value on nonexistence

Your time to jump off is overdue now

Your balance blocks out the sun

But how to determine if the lesson you're learning

Will set you down in grace?

How to make sense of the world from the top of the fence?

We live, we learn, and forget

We suffer, fail, and regret

Our powerful words pale in the face of our debt

But you can't quantify my innocence

Can't put value on nonexistence

Your time to jump off is overdue now

Your balance blocks out the sun

But how to determine if the lesson you're learning

Will set you down in grace?

How to make sense of the world from the top of the fence?

Nostalgia sings at every scent

Trials I could circumvent

But in my apoplectic state

The feedback loop will repeat

The feedback loop… It will repeat

The feedback loop

The feedback loop

It will repeat

The feedback loop
