Lyrics

this is too hard
half an hour gone so far

still i can't unroll this roll

looking closeley i still can't find it
i wonder if i ever will
i don't think i posses the needed skill
(help me someone)

so i approach my problem with my mind
i see i have been blind
i should have folded the edge back in
when i had the chance
(there should be a simple way)

but even though i pick and pick and pick and pick
the end refuses to unstick
and i am left believing
that this roll doesn't have an end at all
(it's too late; i meet my fate)

the tape has now become me
the only thing i know
this mission that began
an indeterminate time ago
(i've not slept in fifteen days)

but even though i pick and pick and pick and pick
the end refuses to unstick
and i am left believing
that this roll doesn't have an end at all
(it's too late; i meet my fate)
