Today in the News

History is doomed to repeat as we go around in circles I stare at the sky with my eyes wide as the sunset fades to purple So much to say, so many ways to say it, but it's all been said before Throw my thoughts into the sea of people but I'll end up washed on the shore The paper is staring up at me and laughing at my thoughts My lack of originality makes my mind begin to rot I feel like there's someone inside my head, taking what I thought was mine I wish that was it, but the truth is this: I didn't think of it in time It's not news, it's just another coat of paint on the wall When it's all been said it's hard to not feel that I am small Am I just yelling all this shit right down the hall? I need to know that what I say matters at all Today in the news is yesterday's headline, recycled and reused Driving my point into the ground until my mouth and mind are fused Speaking up amongst a crowd of anonymity Painted-on personalities as far as the eye can see It's not news, it's just another coat of paint on the wall When it's all been said it's hard to not feel that I am small Am I just yelling all this shit right down the hall? I need to know that what I say matters at all
