Procrastination on the empty vessel |
|
Roll over and over to take a breather |
|
Is this dereliction of duty |
|
To not throw a giant stick in the works? |
|
To labor so rigidly |
|
Fleeing safe havens of natural beauty |
|
Procrastination on the empty vessel |
|
Toil to the bone so the machines roll on |
|
Is this vague assumption |
|
That a call to a halt will signal our untimely end? |
|
To labor so rigidly |
|
All the safe havens of natural beauty |
|
We don't believe that we have the nerve |
|
We can believe that refusal won't hurt |
|
We don't believe that we have the nerve |
|
We can believe that refusal won't hurt |
|
We don't believe much in ourselves |
|
Nil retribution on the empty vessel |
|
Bracing ourselves as we smashed our routine |
|
This feels like liberation |
|
Or a call to a halt that signaled our untimely end |
|
To have labored so rigidly |
|
Barred from safe havens of natural beauty |
|
We don't believe that we have the nerve |
|
We can believe that refusal won't hurt |
|
We don't believe that we have the nerve |
|
We can believe that refusal won't hurt |
|
We don't believe much in ourselves, ourselves |
