Old habits die hard

We find ourselves at it again,
And again,
Unable to break the pattern,
Unable to stop ourselves
From having that just one more,
From doing that thing we said we'd never do,
From going back to places we left behind.

 We watch hamsters in their cages running wheels to nowhere
And we laugh at how silly they are,
How dumb that they just keep running,
And they never go anywhere.
Yet we put ourselves in cages,
And we do the same thing,
Stupid Humans, do you never learn?

The thing that used to satisfy me
Now leaves a dull ache,
A hunger that does not go away.
Words that used to make my heart beat fast
Now sound routine and rehearsed,
I've heard it all before,
It doesn't make me feel good,

Or bad,
I feel nothing.
And the nothing that I feel
Should make me break the habit,
Yet here I am, at it again.
Oh when will you learn, Dumb Human?
Maybe never.

Bone tired and still we have time to come back to this place,
This place, how shall I describe it?
Once upon a time, I wanted to be here,
And never leave,
But now, I never want to go back there,
Yet here I am.
Waiting for that old feeling, That never comes.

Stupid humans,
Stupid humans,
You never learn.
