Ad Infinitum

I’ve been a hammer a while
and all the world looks like a nail.
Everywhere I go, story stays the same,
We get hurt then repeat it.
Is there anyone out there I could hold onto that
might make this hurt ok?

These are the wounds that never mend
ad infinitum ’til the end
oh but I could be healed
by you who gave me the wound.

I’ve tried to starve and exile
and fish for minnows off a whale,
but everywhere I go, song remains the same,
you can’t win or defeat it.
Are there anymore swords that I need to fall onto before
my heart can win the day?

I’ll be robust and agile
and I will look under the veil.
But everybody knows Aphrodite’s name,
a circle completed.
Is there anyone in here I can rely on to
take this pain away?

These are the wounds that never mend
ad infinitum ’til the end
oh but I could be healed
by you who gave me the wound.
