The slender shades that eyes evade. Pushing, rolling, breaking, fixing. Working hard, draining days. Thrashing, mauling, tweaking, cringing. Crying pleas, the beggars' seal, a veteran voice of tired appeal. The pheromones of filthy beasts, riches of the silver peaks, a cocktail made to quench the thirst of the class that comes in first. And off with the shades in a wooden hearse. They find the fact the sun will shine down into worlds of salt and lime a relieving sign, of better times, but sedated is this state of hope and with it their ambitions broke. Light indeed is what they are, of coin and health and lands afar. And in this state of steam and shadows, they long for rules and signs and arrows.

Sweaty Shadows
The slender shades that eyes evade. Pushing, rolling, breaking, fixing. Working hard, draining days. Thrashing, mauling, tweaking, cringing. Crying pleas, the beggars' seal, a veteran voice of tired appeal. The pheromones of filthy beasts, riches of the silver peaks, a cocktail made to quench the thirst of the class that comes in first. And off with the shades in a wooden hearse. They find the fact the sun will shine down into worlds of salt and lime a relieving sign, of better times, but sedated is this state of hope and with it their ambitions broke. Light indeed is what they are, of coin and health and lands afar. And in this state of steam and shadows, they long for rules and signs and arrows.
About: Being working class and selling your time off for a tiny amount of money and not questioning the state of things.
