Whale from Knight Aquatic by Arlo Zaria

How many songs can I write staring at the same four walls?/
It wouldn’t kill me to try but I’m staring at the same two halls/
How many words can I say, using this stale old air?/
They’re all sounding the same but somehow it isn’t fair/
How many times can you shoot the same roll of film?/
Too many different photos of the same old hill/

I’m stuck/
I have beached myself, like a whale/
I’m stuck/
There is nothing left to do but wail/
I’m stuck/
The water mocks me, beats my tail/
I’m stuck, I’m stuck/

How many views can I find, staring at my window?/
The sky is cloudy, but my glass is clear though/
How many songs can I write staring at the same four walls?/
Pacing and pacing, I’m fighting with my childhood dolls/
How many times can you break a single string?/
Flying and flying, I’m moving on a broken wing/

I’m stuck/
I have beached myself, like a whale/
I’m stuck/
There is nothing left to do but wail/
I’m stuck/
The water mocks me, beats my tail/
I’m stuck/
Stuck/
