Chains

CHAINS
My feet drag on the ground
Oh what it takes out of me the get up
And oh what it takes it out of me to talk
This chain around my neck is getting tighter and tighter
And this bottle of emotions is getting fuller and fuller
Nothing comes out for the chain is too tight
Don't step out of line
And don't think the wrong opinion
For you think too loudly
They will kill your mind
And the war between your heart and your eyes will end
I'm but a lost soul in a sea of chameleons
All of them blending in to fit the uniform of each day
You just need you blend closer to the color of their souls
And you won't be trampled by the mob of drones
Just drag a little longer
And limp a little faster
You're almost there
To the end of the day
Just one more stretch and you can be put to sleep
Where your chain can be loosened
And your bottle can be opened
Out of the bottle comes the beauty of your soul
The fireflies of your thoughts glitter in the atmosphere
The pain and misery comes out in short spurts of oil
Seeping into the ground and staying there to drag others to the ground
But the fireflies
Oh how the fireflies shimmer
Landing in others eyes and turning on the light to their vision
Their worlds now in full color and their eyes bright for the future
For in the end your tears will always be dried by the sun
