I’m consumed by thoughts of a better place
I live there in my head
The world ticks around me
Full of greed full of dread
I’ve seen the system for what it is
A trap that chisels at our nature
I am helpless I am bound
But I can still put words on paper
Words I hope will change this world
Or even start a stir
If I even saw the slightest change
I’d step out of my head
and come back to earth
