Big Fat Ring

Music and Lyrics by Ethan Deppe

This big fat ring that I’m running around

Is digging a hole to put me in the ground

It beats me up

And wears me down

That goddamn wheel

Inside my head

Keeps my train of thought

Running in the red

When the rodent runs out

Or his legs are chopped

Makes me think I’ve lost my mind

When the noise has stopped

So I’m going to bed

When the sun comes up

‘Cause I’m hiding from the dark

That’s beating me up

But hiding from the night

When the sky is blue

Only makes the dark come faster

When the light is through

This big fat ring that I’m running around

Is digging a hole to put me in the ground

It beats me up

And wears me down

Locked and loaded

And full of lead

Knocking me down

Shooting me dead

Running along

The thin red line

Ignoring the warnings

Ignoring the sings

Playing this game

And spinning the wheel

Is the thing I do

So I don’t have the time to feel

But turning my back

And ignoring the signs

Is how I missed the things you told me

A hundred times

This big fat ring that I’m running around

Is digging a hole to put me in the ground

It beats me up

And wears me down

That goddamn wheel

Inside my head

Keeps my train of thought

Running in the red

When the rodent runs out

Or his legs are chopped

Makes me think I’ve lost my mind

When the noise has stopped so

Playing this game

And spinning the wheel

Is the thing I do

So I don’t have the time to feel

But turning my back

And ignoring the signs

Is how I missed the things you told me

A hundred times

This big fat ring that I’m running around

Is digging a hole to put me in the ground

It beats me up

And wears me down

This big fat ring

This big fat ring

This big fat ring
