Asphalt and Bullshit

You spin me round in circles
Why do I endure what you put me through?
Because...
You've got me by the nuts
Oh you're so tired, exhausted even...
What about me?
I pull you when you don't even have the will to push yourself!
When your days are rainy and cold
That's when you use me the most
Riding me til I'm soaking wet
Leaving trails
Tales of my torture
You steer me off course
Drag me through mud, throw dirt on my name until who I am is almost unrecognizable
Except for the fact that I just keep letting you spin me
Round and round
Unceasingly, mercilessly
Too weak to depend on your own two feet
One of these days you'll wear me down
I swear
And I'll succumb to my own desires
To be over and through
Spilling my essence into the abyss
Leaving you stranded
And still ungrateful
