The man who lives beside me
wants to set the world on fire,
I'd worry more about it, but I know that he's a liar.
The people across the street
have moved their TV set outside,
They want the world to understand,
they've nothing much to hide.
It feeds the seed in me.
I wander down the street
to get a taste of morning air,
A snarling dog comes after me, Awakened from it's lair.
The outside world has turned on me,
I see it in their eyes,
I guess I'll stay inside for now until they realize,
It's time for them to see.
They live their lives in a haze,
Like rats, they're caught in a maze,
Of quiet desperation and obedience,
I know that I'm just the same.
I need a chance to be free,
These darkened walls are killing me.
If I could rise above, then I'd see,
The light beyond the trees.
