My Fluoro God
(Lyrics: S. Bell)

Your blood it stains the sky, you realise
Dispensability is your disguise

Leaden dawn it struggles against a fallen sky
The silent move and wander, creeping from their hive
A buzz of need, a wing of worth, the sameness that they strive
Hands that twitch, sleeves that shake, a shortness in their stride

In they cram as listless, solemn entities
A pin could drip, tap could drop, the noise is deafening
The ride too long, a journey and weakness it begins
A smile, a nod, a stranger, now hide your thoughts within

You’re a plague

Flickering, fake, fluoro is the god today
It lights the crunch and crackle of numbers tapped away
The click of this, the clack of that, the constant clattering
No room for thought, an error, a human quality

On it goes for hours, rows and batteries
The self caged, programmed mindless, the cream of industry
Adored by few, revered by none, happy drudgery
A plastic plaque, a champagne glass, a model employee

You’re a plague

It was only really a matter of time
The crushing pressure builds and combines
To be so numb and oh so alone
The cracks once fine, now begin to show

As you dance the brow-beaten tango
Hang your head ‘cause its all that you know
No you can’t, no you can’t let go
The negotiator says so
You clench and you clutch and you claw
The final vestige of hope
No you can’t, no you can’t let go
The last smile you’ll ever show

The crosshairs are locked
Recoil is abrupt
Please stop, please stop, I’ll work, I’ll drop
Please stop, please stop, I’ll work, I’ll drop
Twisting and turning and spinning its way
Red mist and short breath, the end of this day
