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 |
