Cast In Plaster
It's like a noose around my neck
Strapped in a splintered chair
Cast in plaster, stuck like glue
Can't move anywhere
Strangled with monotony
Drowning in routine
Round and round this hamster wheel
A banal race machine
I want to take a hammer
Raise it in the air
Smash this plaster, free myself
Breathe in my own air
Want to cut these straps that bind me
Unstick this binding glue
Remove this noose that holds me still
And get away from you.
I'm summoning my courage
I need to break away
Fight the stark complacency
That holds my soul at bay.
