The illusion of choice... married guys, you know what I am talking about

Reminds me of the Devo song, "Freedom of Choice"

It's taxing

A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient Rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, he dropped dead
It's taxing

if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice

Who the hell are you guys marrying? Maybe it's because I've only been married for six months, but goddamn some of you guys need to get divorced.

A groan of tedium escapes me
Startling the fearful
Is this a test? It has to be
Otherwise, I can't go on
Draining patience, drain vitality
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old
But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
Gonna wait it out
Be patient
If there were no rewards to reap
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now
Gonna wait it out
If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now
And I still may
Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this
Gonna wait it out

35 years
Just because I am annoyed doesnt mean I bail out.
For better or worse.

Pipe down, rookie. Marriage is hard sometimes and it takes work to maintain a healthy one.
But you’re not wrong, there are some bitter men on this site who clearly chose mates poorly.

I'm the man in the box, buried in my shite
Won't you come and save me, save me?
Won't you come and save me, save me?

I suspect "swim" is the word and the AI that pulled the lyrics I copied and pasted heard differently.

In other words
I know the pieces fit
Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then
Has burned a hole between us so
We cannot seem to reach an end
Crippling our communication
I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication
The poetry that comes from
The squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance
There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second-guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication
Cold silence has a tendency to
Atrophy any sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers
I know the pieces fit

Christ, took a sip of the Amaretto,
Passed it down the table said today I'll be betrayed by one you twelve disciples
Give me a clue who could do this to you?
The kid on the block who makes less money than you.
Crooked cops pulled up, they offered him thirty pieces of silver
All he got to do is deliver the savior
Right on Bergen St. from bad luck to good luck
My cup runneth over, pass it down, guzzle up
The time has arrived, the prophecy will manifest
I saw death, I got scared, butterflies on my chest
Father if possible, pass this cup before me,
But it's too late I chose my destiny in Gethsemane.

I acknowledge this. My wife and I made it a point to have a small wedding and both acknowledge marriage is the start of the journey.
