Some say the big bang started it all Some say a mysterious white old man Sitting on a cotton candy cloud ball Created everything under his divine plan Made us in his own image, molded us like dolls And orchestrated the great fall Omniscient, call him by his name, beg and he'll listen Adam, Eve, a talking serpent, Apple in the Garden of Eden Benevolent but queer love's abhorrent? Unrequited love means eternal damnation? Omnipresent but seems non-existent? Emperor's new clothes, masters of self-deception Omnipotent, but the devil's an undefeatable opponent? Tithes for china wines, Pedophilic pope revelations A father, a brother, a ghost Indifferent, impotent, or fictional A belief lacking logical reasoning A circus show lacking preordained meaning 1997, Earth sandwiched between hell and heaven I've been incarcerated, serving a life sentence for my sin The prison warden played midwife and brought me in Decked up in this yellow jumpsuit called skin Immured in this blue-domed cell with no exit Vision blurred as tears suffused my eyes The world was and still is deaf to my cries My fellow inmates' were on cloud nine Admiring me like an iron watch as I glowed and shined Starry-eyed, I didn't know what destiny had in store for my life Is this place a cacotopia, a utopia, a paradise? They tossed me on the conveyor belt of life Signed the papers and waved goodbye That's how it started and now Everyday is the same I'm drowning in the rain I just can't stop this pain This is the human life Everyday is the same I'm drowning in the rain I just can't stop this pain This is the human life Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round Bed beetle with buzzing steel wires Life's moving like a downward spiral Blinding kaleidoscopes of colorful strobing lights Jarring cacophonies of deafening loud noises Thin rattan poles, Red devil dose Empty pockets, Shredded papers Chastisements, resentments Loud piercing screams, Daymares, and nightdreams White pillow soaking with tears, All I hear are Sniggers and jeers Jealousy brewing inside, I'm battered, bruised, nearing suicide Soma pills prescribed, sleep is my reprieve Plastic smile parades. All good schools, all good charades White Sheets lacerated in red, I'm about to detonate Verdant green wildflowers, blossoming in the glasshouse Budding blue wallflower, Imprisoned in my own bell jar Writhing, withering, wilting Inextinguishable anguish; searing pain Serotonin deficiency in my brain Misty eyes and fogged enclosures Distorted visions and warped images "Just pray, just pray, it'll be okay." He will lift you out of the miry clay He will watch like a sadist as you drown deeper; That's part of the foreplay Everyday is the same I'm drowning in the rain I just can't stop this pain This is the human life Everyday is the same I'm drowning in the rain I just can't stop this pain This is the human life Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round In the blink of an eye, years have flown by Falling into the abyss of adult life Losing my sanity, my virginity There isn't a catcher in the rye There isn't a savior in the sky There are racoon mascara tears in my eyes Crocodile tears in your eyes Black dog barks and hyenas' laughter A Werewolf behind a safety glass enclosure Rat racer to white-collar 9 to 5 times 5 to stay alive To exterminate and cannibalize Dark labyrinths with a golden cheese slice Running a rat wheel without purpose in life Following that distant lime-green light An underdog in this stupid game of life All chasing its tail to its demise Maybe the reality is illusory Like a Butterfly lost in a reverie An Organic matter decaying Lost soul in the dark limbo Light at the end of the tunnel Opening of another vagina Like a serpent devouring its tail Like the sun that rises without fail (Rain drop that ripples in a pond) Like Sunshine, rainfall Winter-Spring summer fall Earth's rotation, Earth's revolution A cycle within another cycle Looping Infinitely endlessly Everyday is the same I'm drowning in the rain I just can't stop this pain This is the human life Everyday is the same I'm drowning in the rain I just can't stop this pain This is the human life Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round Lather, Rinse, Repeat Round and round and round Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Round and round and round
