another brick in the wall
another thing to pile up
another reason to fall
another reason to be stuck
[another reason to not pick myself up]

one thing is to say
say is to say many
may is to be constant
constant is to be heavy

heavily dragged feet
chains and a metal ball
held together at the feet
held together by the beat,
beat of our hearts

the chain would break
if it weren't for us to take
the ball with us
it's only just one thing

one thing
