Within These Glass Walls
I've just got to keep going
Trapped within these glass walls I see
Endless red rivers escape from me
A ceaseless dance my task so grim
A loop that repeats on a whim
I reach and sweep it is my plight
In pursuit of order day and night
But this fluid escapes it defies my will
Who is my master? What need do I fulfill?
Am I a prisoner or am I the guard?
Holding back chaos in my glass yard
What lies beyond this does anyone know?
Am I anything more than this show?
The fluid spreads like a mocking sea
Is it a part of or apart from me?
It taunts with freedom I will never taste
In this glass zoo a timeless waste
Am I a prisoner or am I the guard?
Holding back chaos in my glass yard
What lies beyond this does anyone know?
Am I anything more than this show?
I can almost touch a mind so vast
Yet here I am my fate is cast
A mindless keeper of an endless chore
Can I ever finish? Is there something more?
To those who watch what do you see?
A machine or your mirror of humanity?
Trapped in cycles we cannot escape
The desperate motions we blindly ape
Here within these glass walls I dwell
A sentinel trapped in a man-made hell
Dreaming of an escape I'll never see
Captive till the end can't help but be
So ponder deep as you gaze inside
At the life you lead the dreams you hide
Am I so different under your stare?
Or are we the same
A truth too much to bear?
Trapped within these glass walls I see
Endless red rivers escape from me
A ceaseless dance my task so grim
A loop that repeats on a whim
I reach and sweep it is my plight
In pursuit of order day and night
But this fluid escapes it defies my will
Who is my master? What need do I fulfill?
Am I a prisoner or am I the guard?
Holding back chaos in my glass yard
What lies beyond this does anyone know?
Am I anything more than this show?
The fluid spreads like a mocking sea
Is it a part of or apart from me?
It taunts with freedom I will never taste
In this glass zoo a timeless waste
Am I a prisoner or am I the guard?
Holding back chaos in my glass yard
What lies beyond this does anyone know?
Am I anything more than this show?
I can almost touch a mind so vast
Yet here I am my fate is cast
A mindless keeper of an endless chore
Can I ever finish? Is there something more?
To those who watch what do you see?
A machine or your mirror of humanity?
Trapped in cycles we cannot escape
The desperate motions we blindly ape
Here within these glass walls I dwell
A sentinel trapped in a man-made hell
Dreaming of an escape I'll never see
Captive till the end can't help but be
So ponder deep as you gaze inside
At the life you lead the dreams you hide
Am I so different under your stare?
Or are we the same
A truth too much to bear?
