Insanity (ĭn-săn′ĭ-tē) (n): the act of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I’m skipping like b-b-broken records play:
     I keep telling you the same stupid thing
          Hoping even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
I keep taking all my progress and throwing it away
     For bad habits, for nothing, so I can keep running,
          Skipping like b-b-broken records play.
I’m know it’s wrong, but I do it anyway
     I know you’re right but it’s not clicking
          Because a stopped clock is only right twice a day.
I’m caught in a loop; today repeats yesterday
     I cycle back, do the same thing over, repeating
          skipping like b-b-broken records play.
I clean myself up to keep you around another day,
     But once you’re in my arms I’m back to lying
          Because a stopped clock is only right twice a day.
Fuck up once, twice, ten times, what can I say?
     I will just tell you again that I’m “trying”,
          That a stopped clock is only right twice a day;

God, I’m just skipping like b-b-broken records play
