《A Bit of Everything》Wind up Toy
Advertisement
The stress
Of day-to-day events
Slowly builds up
But he’s a grownup
So he keeps it within
Ever mounting, ever growing
He can’t go for long
You know he’s overflowing
Watch him wind up
Movements erratic and stilted
Stuttering and jittering
His worldview has tilted
Say the magic words
And see chaos unfurl
Raving like a lunatic, accusing you of abuse
He’s a hypocrite tying his own noose
Like a volcano, some unstoppable force
But you’re a virtuoso set on your course
You weather a storm you unleashed
A secret smile behind a neutral face
It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen
You reach out for an embrace
And as the pressure is released
As he begins to wind down
Energy spent, he sighs
On a bed of guilt he lies
He apologizes, you know it’ll happen again
So you leave him to drown
Because he’s a windup toy
To play with when you’re bored
