I think we are bounded by chains
On our knees
Stuck to the floor
Some may have thinner chains
And others who envy them
But still we all have chains
I suppose this is the part I'm to say:
"But we can break free from the chains"
Or something corny and optimistic right?
Yeah well no, I face the reality
Reality and negativity are interchangeable to me
Address them as each other, for I do
So yeah about them chains,
No one breaks free
We are to stay on the floor
NOW STAY THERE
For you know what are they?
Nothing but the source of our life
Our filthy water that we drink to live
Our bowl of cruel gruel that is the feast of this world
Our veins that run deep with our unstable emotional blood
Stand up and shed your soul
I dare you
Society waits for you with whip in hand
You are too weak to fight
And the chains will not break
Until the vital signs fade you will be locked
Now stay there...
