Corridors


Corridors Faded white Stripes of grey Florescent lights Dirty Fingerprints On the walls Longing to Escape these halls Where we'll be climbing through your doors through your windows through your floors Screaming children, gnashing teeth empty pages, headlines shriek. So who could ever really blame us For revolution that sustains us suffering repeated zaps until one day we had to snap But don't you worry bout it dear there simply is no need to fear for the night has got us strapped in oh the light has got us trapped In Corridors and Faded white Stripes of grey Florescent lights Broken teeth Broken spines Break of dawn We are consigned In Corridors and Faded white Stripes of grey Florescent lights Broken chests Broken minds Broken wrists We are confined We have resigned to failure now We hold ourselves together now You are the ones that made us Yeah but we're the ones that fix us We hold ourselves together with these belts that strap us in.
