From the recording A Way Out
Lyrics
A Way Out
By Ben Marthey
Away from myself
No improvements
nothing changes
Safe in the cage I’ve built
Like a tethered elephant
I never known
A way out
Wasted away
A chance to break away
From this routine
Killing me
A way out of this
hourly empathy
compassion is the commodity
that feeds the assembly line
And I’ve never known
A way out
Wasted away
A chance to break away
From this routine
Killing me
Alone and afraid
In the self medicated
Illusion of change
That’s keeping me chained
To the routine
Killing me
