In This Building, Up Where The Air is Thin Can you still taste the oxygen 'cos I'm gasping, drowning, struggling to breathe in My mind is so full of dark thoughts Like parasites beneath my skin I swore I was one of the good guys Just trying to live in a world full of their lies But the further that you crawl Up the ladder towards their skies The more you start to see it through their eyes But all their bitterness, could have left me A broken man But underneath, all their cynicism That's not who I am We are the backstabbed, left in free-fall Whilst the backhanders and the ugliness They stay 70 storeys tall We are the empty, empathetic waste I don't know if, it's the air, or the dirt we'll taste (When we smash into the onrushing ground) But all their bitterness, could have left me A broken man But underneath, all their cynicism That's not who I am

Novella 03:01
So that open book slams shut An ending to a story that always felt too abrupt Another life that we raced through And took to heart that feeling we're all emotionally bankrupt Leave those lofty ideas on the page Like some harrowing contradiction I decimalise I recategorise each page as fiction But they're as real to me now as the words of this story-teller Trapped inside these tomes like a dystopian novella It's just a thought about a thought about a It's nothing unique, it's just something we're taught The anomie the emptiness Disillusioned with everything, leave me again with only weltschmerz Leave those lofty ideas on the page Like some harrowing contradiction I decimalise I recategorise each page as fiction But they're as real to me now as the words of this story-teller Trapped inside these tomes like a dystopian novella
