Year of the Rat |
Reaching up to touch the sky |
The sun, the centre of my mind |
Hopes are high and time is wide |
Dream of life on the other side |
Take my chance to grab an inch |
When something snares me I don’t flinch |
When it pulls I just pull back |
I feel my liberty losing slack |
Hunch my back and bear my teeth |
I’ll kill you to get the things I need |
The push for more provokes the greed |
I struggle for the space to breathe |
Fight against this mass of scum |
Trapped inside their vinculum |
Hopes of plenty turned to none |
All the bastards become one |
This ball of fear that grows together |
The want for freedom becomes the tether |
A thousand rats and appetites pull |
A thousand ways to bind it tighter |
Feel the huddle intertwine |
See our lives start to unwind |
Feel the pressure closing in |
See the world start to spin |
Tails connect and pull apart |
Friends whose tails strangle the hearts |
Of friends whose tails are wrapped around |
The necks of friends together bound |
Honour fades from constant pain |
Pull away to get stuck again |
Only a broken mind can understand |
That life’s a trap when you’re a rat |
