paper walls

eh i have a fear of office jobs, and being stuck in one of those cubicles

 Paper walls

A different time, maybe

I would answer and fade

Become the dream, trapped inside, never released

These paper walls keep me locked away

My anger contained, my heart pounds against my chest

Waiting to escape when I thought that I was free

 

Nothing you say will bring the daylight

I've been counting the minutes but the time never passes

Stay calm and breathe, you will be free

But these walls around me grow taller everyday

 

A different life, maybe

Maybe then I would change

Close my eyes and give up

On all that I believe

Live in this world day after day

But what is the price I will pay?

These paper walls will kill me

 

Nothing you say will bring the daylight

I've been counting the minutes but the time never passes

Stay calm and breathe, you will be free

But these walls around me grow taller everyday

 

If only for a month but it consumes the years

Slaving away for the dreams lost

In the maze of time and tears

Caged in the walls growing taller everyday

Searching for a way out

A way out of the dark

Looking for the chance to start your life again

But it been so long since you walked alone

I don’t think you know the way

 

Nothing you say will bring the daylight

I've been counting the minutes but the time never passes

Stay calm and breathe, you will be free

But these walls around me grow taller everyday

Good piece. I would watch the jumping from present to past tense. It kind of mucks up the profoundity of the piece. I might also trem some extraneous word from the beginnings of lines to make the lines more impactful. The meanings and visions in this piece are great. If you cleaned it up a bit, then I think it will be kick a*s!

Just me,
