lyrics

Counting grains of sand in the desert every day
Despite the soldiers always getting in my way.
Counting stars by telescope all through the night
Despite wild beasts roaming in and out of sight.

OCD again and again.
Reinforced thoughts and actions never wane.
OCD ad infinitum.
I struck a million beats upon the same drum.

I'm washing my hands all of the time
To try to keep the contamination in line.
I'm confessing I'm not guilty but it feels like a crime
When resistance to persistence just brings a danger sign.

OCD again and again…

I'm aware it's irrational and it's no fun.
I get no pleasure from relieving tension.
Over focus on trivia until I'm undone.
Time consuming interference enhances my condition.

OCD again and again…

Obsessive compulsive disorders.
Stereotypical ritualistic borders.
Obsessive compulsive disorders.
Like Sisyphus with a lifetime of boulders.

OCD again and again…
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN…
