Frightened child in the sky, nestled in sweet lullabies. The hands that feed are warm at night. Better mind your appetite. That fire burning in your eyes. A safer world that I might like. Chances are you wont be denied, the backlash of your paradise.
This life is not for the faint of heart.
You've been running around in circles. A lousy sense of purpose. No dreams in mind except the kind where the people are spread further. Imagination from the TV screen. More wonderful conditioning. The status quo has got to go, is anybody listening?
There's more to life beyond those walls.
Wool pulled over bloodshot eyes. Middle class writing your alibis. Your dreams of tainted dominance. An utter lack of tolerance. From time to time your find yourself sifting through your conscience. A life of time in divide from people that share the same prominence? Love is all, it's left behind. In a world of greed, there's sacrifice. The people starve and you dont care. There's enough for all now lets be fair.
