Hedonic Treadmill

Running in circles going nowhere
Running in circles going nowhere fast

More money, new car
Better body, new guitar
We all reap what we sow
Superficial happiness ebbs and flows
Endless consumption to spend one week high
Discontent with living sometimes I'd rather die

I'm addicted
Frustrated, complicated, isolated, incapacitated

Hedonic adaptation isn't lost on me
Spreading yourself thin between wants and needs
Nickel and dimed until we're content
The high won't last long, sadly codependent
