Sisyphus

from Breakage by Breakage Music

/

lyrics

Sisyphus sighed, and smiled
And picked up the rock again
When you were just a child
You rolled down the mountain and ran

If you could go back
To the way things started again
Would you rewrite the scene
Or let it play out again

Sisyphus sighed and smiled
And picked up the rock again
Your routine looks like torture to me
But would it make me feel something again

If I could stay still
For a dozen years or more
Would the rock turn to sand
Would you wait for me by the shore

Sisyphus cried and tried
To pick up the rock again
And at the end of his life
He climbed up the hill again

If he could come down
To where he started again
He’d be running for miles until
Gratitude walked again

How many times have you rehearsed
The speech about your curse
How many times have you been thanked for what you’ve done
How many times did the boulder fall
Why do you think you’re called
Would it make any difference
If you knew someone was keeping score
