Plateaus from Recurring Themes by Thom Coombes

You don't get your act together
by being less fucked up,
But I feel a little better
Than I did when I woke up.

I'm losing a part of me;
It's a part that slows me down,
But I can't find the qualities
that will fill the holes in the ground.

Electricity lives in a wire;
Every vice dwells in a hole.
Everyone has a desire;
Some burn more like coal.

I was going up like an auction,
Then I went out like a light,
So I took a little more caution,
And I veered to the right,

And it looks a bit like the right track,
But more like a plateau,
When you can't find your way back,
And you can't figure out where to go.
