It's a Wonderful Lie

I watch the broken glass that fell
Another hour passed
Another day in hell

The master whips his fiery chain
Another step too far
Another night of pain

Live your life from day to day
But not too much
Toe the line, don’t disobey
Don’t make a fuss
Be the best that you can be
Don’t aim too high
Stop living in a fantasy

They put me in my prison cell
‘Another fallen child’
Another time to dwell

They read my letters one by one
Another mockery
Another life undone

I feel the watchmen on my back
Another icy touch
Another hearty whack

I hear the death bell sound release
Another spirit gone
Another soul at peace

I watch the broken glass that fell
Another hour passed
Another day in hell
