Suddenly as my cracking porcelain-doll neck cranes upwards I realize
All these concrete things of our imagination
Now hover dizzyingly around me
Almost swallowing my presence with their tall statures that stretch into the sky
Leaving us standing in their umbrage
They echo of unrealistic ambitions and destructive dreams
These yellow brick buildings haunt the once barren land
Screaming pathetic creatures of denial into hypnosis.

To work in the sky

Now these buildings are withering expectations, blackmailing our last hope and pride around us.
Melting like candle wax
The more they burn
The more we drown
We have become the products of our creations
We have accepted judgment based on these brick structures
Hark!
Confide,
Confide,
Confide!
They whisper and hiss, pulling our ears this way and that
Feeding us artificial nirvana
