said the knuckle to the concrete.

i’m a pitiful creature
fueled by the hope of a new day
    and every night i fall asleep disappointed
    and you’re sick of empty promises

and every morning i drag myself up
to some semblance of self-sufficience
beat myself against the same wall
and wonder why i won’t change
    and every night i fall asleep disappointed
    and you’re sick of empty promises

my mouth is moving
and you’ve heard this all before
but we’ll both pretend my number’s not up

rhetoric won’t get me out of this
and you’re sick of empty promises,
but i’m not sick of trying just yet
