TAPES 1
Dedicated to emotional
imperfections
(Written in 1995)




I could ask you why

You play the same old tapes

Over and over again;

But I realized that I play mine

Over and over again, too.

We're all stuck in a groove

Repeating patterns

Of being ourselves

While we're maturing,

But staying the same.



Why do I keep playing

The same old tapes

Over and over and over again?

I'm so tired of going on and on

Without ever really truly growing

Or becoming a better person.

Life goes on and on and on;

The world's still basically the same;

We're still flowing along,

And we're all still staying the same.
