Solid ground, help me now.
Eyes like infinity papercuts
stare through walls. Tear them down
because they're always
hanging around
to watch you give yourself
and fall short.
I sat and spat on the world,
and the world, it spat right back.
Workers unite is just a line.
Sometimes, I bite the hand that feeds,
and the hand, it bites right back.
Lay down and cry and say it's fine.
Superiors glance and frown.
The manager's cynical.
Keep a chemical
guard all day. Trust no one now.
Then you're on your way up,
so don't look down
if this is what you want,
if you're sure.
I sat and spat on the walls,
and the walls, they spat words back:
workers unite is just a line.
And when I bite the bank, I bleed
because the bank, it bites right back.
Lay down and cry. Get fired tonight.
Vision, optimized.
We're efficient in our declines
and inclined
to despise
faxing the world anathemic forms.
I can't get that year back now.
Curse tact to hell.
I wish no one well.
Divorced heart from chore.
You said it was my fault
if I couldn't care more (or care less).
I know you're right,
but I've spite despite.
