We are born 

from one institution 

into another 

falling asleep 

listening to the poetry 

of steel 



and we are chained 

arm to arm 

pulling each other down 



the irony of quitting time 

can you really stop? 

inhale deeply because it's your last breath 

so enjoy what's left 



and we are chained 

arm to arm 

pulling each other 



seasons change 

from green to red 

seasons change 

inside my head
