Same Routine As Always

I’m supposed to be the still point in the turning of the world

But what if it’s me that’s fucking spinning it?

Using it as an accomplice 

An accessory to my disco hit?

Forcing it to dance for me

And make itself look a right tit?


Recently I’ve made it boogie

Until it’s utterly exhausted

Which just makes me slap 

All that harder on the whip


Because that little routine

Is all that keeps me grounded

It’s the only thing that distracts me

From the chaos at my fingertips

So if I still the world, what exactly

Will I be left with?


I’ve spun it over work

Over relationships

Over poetry, and study

And music

Spun it over friends, love

And over logic

Spun it over me

Until I’m pleading please 

Just do the other number, quick


Then it slips

Breaks its hips

Can’t move an inch

I’m fucking scrambling


This is no iconic Tarentino scene

It’s just a silly girl

That keeps on rambling


Of course I’m no puppet master

And the world’s not my dancer

I’m just searching scapegoats for my stage


I suppose I’ll take the role

Of understudy

And make these movements

Worthy off the page.
