Certainly that is how some wind up one day
With a ring on one hand
And a collar
And a chain
As though morning has broken its way into your brain
After 25 years of seeing it in front of your face
You know nothing is so simple in the cold driving rain
And nothing is so subtle as the turn of an age
And you might never know it til it's a moment too late
But you weep as though you only wanted to sit in its wake
While another silhouette of indifference is lying in wait
Next time you decide to deny
Why it was you were made
You labour so hard you spend your free time sleeping
And only come alive when it gets back around to evening
And I cannot for the life of me fathom why
You'd devote such a gross commitment of your time
To get a degree that means you can stare at a screen
And make money for someone with no idea of how you used to dream
Are you listening now?
Do you know what I mean?
Or are you settling down into a six figure sleep?
Where they're holding the prize in front of you but it's always out of your reach
You're wise enough to know how much more you could be
