Welcomed into the deadzone of meaningless averted eyes, Nothing but uncomfortable seats, And an ease to breathe in all the toxins you want, Tongue-tied for interests, Nothing to share, So we stare at our hands, And I notice something in mine, They're growing and, The honesty of work is dying them grey, And where once I thought of them wasting away, I find pride in my replacability, The hollowness of my labour, I'm glad for these things because they highlight the pen, Which ink stained my hands as I wrestled with it, In an eternal battle I have with myself, So i'm glad to be fleeting, A relief to myself

Smoking shelter blues
Welcomed into the deadzone of meaningless averted eyes, Nothing but uncomfortable seats, And an ease to breathe in all the toxins you want, Tongue-tied for interests, Nothing to share, So we stare at our hands, And I notice something in mine, They're growing and, The honesty of work is dying them grey, And where once I thought of them wasting away, I find pride in my replacability, The hollowness of my labour, I'm glad for these things because they highlight the pen, Which ink stained my hands as I wrestled with it, In an eternal battle I have with myself, So i'm glad to be fleeting, A relief to myself
