Title: Above My Station
Above my station
Below my aim
Hating myself
Hating the game
Aspirations too high and mighty
I've found a different song to sing
On my lips it sounds shrill and hollow
It lacks that certain zing zing
Between the classes
I've fallen between the cracks
A void, a nowhere place
Where people watch their backs
I'm in the gutter staring at the stars
Derided by those below me, ignored
Laughed at by those above me
Does any of this strike a cord?
