lyrics

I know not for what presentient sins I landed here,
but few crimes warrant so severe a fine.
So, brave face aside, I shall now decry
the time and place to which I’ve been assigned.

On a clear day you can almost see the fence,
but what lies outside in no way touches us.
The filthy ceiling curbs any daring upward glance,
and I know it’s only time before the floor betrays my
trust.

A smart boy never fails if he observes the golden rule;
smart boys never venture past mundane.
Aspiration beckons us to new plateaus of cruel,
because a wealth of worth is won when one is
watching others’ wane.

I wear my ignorance with pride knowing nothing’s on
my side.
I care for only low renown, showing nothing I can
hide, because home is where the hands that break
my fall will break my heart, making sure I know full
well...

My best won’t make a dent, so I loiter with intent to
do the worst I can and so they say my best won’t
make a dent…
