Spoon theory
by @cphaurckker
Liner Notes
Little more therapy here.
Musically, i know it's an increasingly frentic 3/4...
Lyrics
development sprint at work is just cranking
put in long hours, can't leave the team hanging
whole family is sick, and the dog's ear's got a cut
From another pet's swinging it's claws at the mutt
hardwood floors covered with bright-red blood splatter
I soon will be going as mad as a hatter!
I have no more spoons
the drawer it is barren
no spell slots, no mana,
no food there's a famine
my account's overdrawn,
I got no more tokens,
I keep on trying, but my
transmission is broken
I cannot get my ass in gear
the pain is severe,
I think I'll just go have a beer
the White House is drunk with unchecked perceived power
who knows which cherished rights will next be devoured
my limited free time outside is just constantly rained out
every one of my friends is facing some kind of breakdown
my middle-aged body has failures troubling
with each new crisis arising, my resistance is crumbling
I have no more spoons
the drawer it is barren
no spell slots, no mana,
no food there's a famine
my account's overdrawn,
I got no more tokens,
I keep on trying, but my
transmission is broken
I cannot get my ass in gear
the pain is severe,
I think I'll just go have a beer
nobody throws recyclables in the right bin
so many things that need started don't know where to begin
the dog's whining again, I'm stuck on a call
the cat just threw up it's breakfast in the hall
I don't know what's coming, next week or next year
the stress keeps on piling, brings me to tears
I have no more spoons
the drawer it is barren
no spell slots, no mana,
no food there's a famine
my account's overdrawn,
I got no more tokens,
I keep on trying, but my
transmission is broken
I cannot get my ass in gear
the pain is severe,
I think I'll just go have a beer
but my college kid in my basement just drank my last beer....
