Eternal Saturday

i've seen today somewhere else
despite its different labels
same bottle, different pills,
same tv, different channels

under the bridge it lies in wait
to collect a daily toll
to take the stars from my face
to digest my borrowed soul

when freedom's wrath
is a tough chain to break
and boredom's path
the only road to take
eternal saturday
no weekdays to lend
my groundhog day
no sanity to defend
eternal saturday

today just lingers, woven
tight with many cables,
the hand with seven fingers
repeats the same signs and signals

when it seems forever
is holding you back
the offramps severed
on this circular track
eternal saturday
no weekdays to lend
my groundhog day
no sanity to defend
eternal saturday

like trees within the city
the hours pass away
no end but a beginning
eternal saturday

when freedom's wrath
is a tough chain to break
and boredom's path
the only road to take
eternal saturday
no weekdays to lend
my groundhog day
no sanity to defend
eternal saturday
