Space camp

Our eyes were lost within ourselves

And there were no thoughts of what was to be gained

But just memories of civilian liberty

 

in a silent room

With our heads shaven and our mouths full

Rediscovering ourselves with each batted eye

We sat and chewed and stared deeper into space

 

we sat against sanitized walls

And talked of someone that seemed so familiar

And under red lights we wrote to those who

Controlled our minds and dreams.

 

feel the sponge scrubbing our brains

And as we held our tired eyes and stared into space

We wondered what it meant to be sane.
