As Plain As Stones
These metal doors feel like handcuffs
 This golden knob feels like a cell
 We're traveling through endless corridors
 with the halls having nothing to tell
 
 This car engine sounds like a microphone
 These tires sound like the mall
 Running away with no destination, 
 showing up unannounced with no call
 
 This house smells like a chimney
 This bed feels nothing like a friend
 We sink inside until we collapse, 
 not expecting to, in turn, meet our dear end
 
 This lamp I lit seems too bright
 I can see everything manifested in the night
 There are cracks in our skin, bruises on our bones, 
 But we never used to mind being as plain as stones.
