Flying away,
on a jet back to the east.
Wasting the day,
ripping dreams up by the piece.
Pretzels and plastic cups,
anxious beggar’s feast
Famished, fatigued.
I’m a burden to,
I’m a burden to this beast.
It’s cold outside,
I don’t want to go out tonight.
Nowhere to hide,
I’m stuck in an armrest fight.
Wage indentured servant,
still one of the least.
Unshackled, return.
I’m a burden to,
I’m a burden to this beast.
