Spoon theory

by @cphaurckker

There is no demo for this song.

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....

I hope,your day got better after writing this! And that the pain eases. Cats always throw up at the worst moments, don’t they?

A very relatable situation. Thank you for sharing. I hope you might revisit and add music at some point. I feel like this energy is something a lot of us are gonna need soon

This is so good...and so relatable! I was trying to pick favorite lines and I kind of love all of them. The ones that I'm currently most worried about are these:

the White House is drunk with unchecked perceived power
who knows which cherished rights will next be devoured

Great write! I would love to hear it with music.
