ONE WITH THE LAND

I'm a slave
Imprisoned in a cage of my own making
Unable to ever break free
Once filled with dreams of wonder
I'm suffocating under years of tears
It's a nightmare from which there's no awakening
Bills to pay
Mouths to feed
Constantly placating
A wife's selfish greed
No friends to lean on
Leykis and Dare
Philosophies more than people
Are the only ones left that care
My spirit's depleted
I was once strong and proud
Now withered and shriveled
I'm a man that's defeated
Just a grain of sand
Invisible as time passes me by
Until I'm once again one with the land
