We're all crying while we slave away, Smiling when we're free. If only we could see the freedom in that flash of teeth. But only if we mean it, Yes only of it's meant Tell me whats the worth of worrying You'll drown inside cement? Now the others rest upon the middle they get no relief They don't wish to see the sun Until they go to sleep And the lookers down sit perched upon The place that is implied They only care to swoop if they can peck and pick apart our lives. All these observations made Behind a pair of glasses From these marblesque devices Run by lightning seeming massless Thinking "if only we were classless, Careless, living off of instinct at least we'd be so unaware that we are reaching a brink Where those who work away for birds of prey are sick of slaving days and rise with those who wish to see the sun. How they'll rattle the cage.

Entitled
We're all crying while we slave away, Smiling when we're free. If only we could see the freedom in that flash of teeth. But only if we mean it, Yes only of it's meant Tell me whats the worth of worrying You'll drown inside cement? Now the others rest upon the middle they get no relief They don't wish to see the sun Until they go to sleep And the lookers down sit perched upon The place that is implied They only care to swoop if they can peck and pick apart our lives. All these observations made Behind a pair of glasses From these marblesque devices Run by lightning seeming massless Thinking "if only we were classless, Careless, living off of instinct at least we'd be so unaware that we are reaching a brink Where those who work away for birds of prey are sick of slaving days and rise with those who wish to see the sun. How they'll rattle the cage.
Taken from the scrap paper scribbles I produced during the downtime of my first job.
