Eyes fixed on the sun. Shoulders back. Back straight. Chest out. Solid breath. Eyes fixed on the sun. Eyes fixed on the sun. Control is an illusion created by fear Consumed by the restless, caught begging for sleep Reflection is ruthless, a bottomless pit A strange kind of way of breaking a kid Paychecks, and billboards, and coffee mugs say: "We're building and building and building away" A body that wanders sets foot on new ground So a mind that wanders is a mind that expands A mind that expands is a mind that creates Textures and shapes and colors and sounds Paychecks, and billboards, and coffee mugs say: "We're building and building and building away" A mind that reflects is trapped in itself Constantly spinning in a conical shape A circular fashion, more narrow each day Until it's caught, and sealed, and safely stored away Meal plans, and caffeine, and bucket lists say Treadmills, and timesheets, and calendars say Paychecks, and billboards, and coffee mugs say: "We're building, we're building. Keep building away"
