By Design

Top of the pavement steaming Our bare feet are burnt to the bone Expending miles and miles without reason And trying so hard not to sour You know that This is not the way It seems as though They move only to gain And we're face down In the meal box Chewing the lies that We've reluctantly bought It's all about the fall This cup of tears Sits steaming While our voice Quiets down to a drone Expending miles and miles Without reason And trying so hard not to sour They know only How to push and strain It's time for us To realign our angst We're face down In the meal box Chewing the lies that We've reluctantly bought It's time to realign We're living by design We live, we die by design
