Round And Round

about

For a good chunk of my homelessness, I lived in my car. I remember watching the ice crystals spread across my windshield as I sat and pondered life. I remember sleeping in that Buick and praying for several inches of snow, so I'd disappear into the scenery and the police wouldn't notice me. Plans upon plans rattled through my brain, day after day. I could have just hit the road. I could have left this place called Chicagoland. I just sat in that car and played guitar. It was the only solace I had. The only way I could distract myself from wanting to die. All effort, no payoff. I wonder what the point was. But, here I am. Again, and again. Round and round.

lyrics

Watching the ice form on my window
Letting the wind blow me down
Counting snowflakes as they fall
Time may stand still

Haven't we had enough of frozen bones
Isn't it time for sunshine
Cause every day I hear it calling out to me
As the wheels spin round and round in my mind

Awake again, every morning feels the same
I shake myself and I rise
I get that look on my face again
I made it through another night

Haven't we had enough of frozen bones
Isn't it time for sunshine
Cause every day I hear it calling out to me
As the wheels spin round and round in my mind

I'll sing through the pain
I won't try to fake it
Life goes on awry
And I'll take it back from the cold

Haven't we had enough of frozen bones
Isn't it time for sunshine
Cause every day I hear it calling out to me
As the wheels spin round and round in my mind
Round and round in my mind
Round and round in my mind
