Ten minutes 'til lecture
A path to retrace
Other students join, headed the same exact place
Pouring out of buildings
Heading to class
Filing through arches reflected in glass
All walking in the same direction
Spill out of a narrow street and cross the road
From above, they look like flies
Surrounding something that has died
A carcass overflowed
I am scared of what will happen
And I wish I could stop moving
But I can't try
Even if I do, the stream of bodies will part into two
And pass me by
Wool coats, breath crystallising in air
Clotting the flagstone route
Crawl forward, little lemmings in line
With each scuff of a leather boot
Do they not feel trapped?
Every movement mapped
Do they not feel caught?
Is this what they're taught?
Closing in on me
And it's hard to breathe
When hearts beat as one
Where can I run?
They dictate what I do, and I dictate what they do
As we control the mass
We are an endless stream of flesh
So all the vehicles around us wait for us to pass
I matter in their presence
Therefore, I should appreciate being part of the swarm
If we keep on moving forward
Then the whole we represent shall suffer no harm
Do they not feel trapped?
Every movement mapped
Do they not feel caught?
Is this what they're taught?
They're closing in on me
And it's hard to breathe
When hearts beat as one
Where can I run?
But no one would notice if I ever vanished
If bodies could sustain
This never-ending army like blood pumping through a vein
No one would notice if anyone vanished
If feet marched to the tune
Enough resounding footsteps with no sign of fading soon
No one would notice if I ever vanished
If bodies could sustain
This never-ending army like blood pumping through a vein
No one would notice if anyone vanished
If feet marched to the tune
Enough resounding footsteps with no sign of fading soon
If I manage to escape, where do I go when I emerge on the other side?
As they all disperse, I look to the sun
Cold and bleary-eyed
Footsteps fading into wind and people going places
'Til I stand alone
Travelled too far and a little too lost to go back home
I'll miss being trapped
Every movement mapped
I don't wanna get caught
Forgetting what I've been taught
When they all leave me, I'll be nobody
When it's said and done
Where can I run?
