You want to write?
Then pick up that pencil
Push it down on paper
Breathe oxygen into your blood
And mark the page with love

You want to succeed?
Then pick up that pencil
Push it down on paper
Breathe cyanide into your lungs
And mark the page with grunge

You want to be famous?
Then pick up that pencil
Push it down on paper
Breathe deception into your hand
And mark the page with bland

You want to be recognized?
Then pick up the pencil
Push it down on paper
Breathe attraction into your gait
And mark the page with bait

You want to be free?
Then discard the pencil
Bring fire to the paper
Bring air to your feet
And be free.
