Trapped
|
A game of roulette
|
A marble and wheel
|
Revolver and steel
|
While down on his luck
|
A grimacing drunk
|
He spins on his axis
|
On top of the table
|
Espousing his views
|
|
... familiar
|
Removed it may come to you
|
How your contempt is renewed
|
The train of thought running here
|
Makes me see all too clear
|
How I'm like everyone I can remember I knew
|
|
Trapped
|
Supply and demand
|
Mathematics and facts
|
Computing revealed
|
The secret's concealed
|
Displaced of its day
|
The weight of an age
|
A hideous scheme
|
Horizons of steel
|
|
Walking on tightropes
|
They're lost in my neighborhood
|
Long streets I know very well
|
Wandering aimlessly, wavering endlessly
|
Leaving today for the next town that gets in the way
|
|
Trapped
|
By fear in my voice
|
I struggle to speak
|
I struggle to reach
|
That tone in your voice
|
The onset of fear
|
It spins like the world
|
As is everything near
|
Just from breathing the air
|
|
Trapped by my point of view
|
Locked in a waiting room where we are smothered desire
|
Lost in a notebook who's heartstrings sing out to you
|
Coming to terms with the slow spiteful passing of years
|
