Lyrics

Oversee me, keep me steady, I forget that I am free to come and go It's a long way for a short cut, Take a window seat, make the most of me I can't recall the last time i felt Like this I could open up with no danger Ready to flip my desk with no Consequence another forced encounter with a stranger We never talk I stand and assist, I don't live I breath and exist I pass time like the watch on your wrist, You've got me on call till I'm done and dissmissed You stole a head full of conciousness Imma give it back some of that confidence You make me dress down, And keep me waiting, it's the silence and the faces I don't know I can hold out just for so long Take a window seat, make the most of me I'd rather bleed myself dry than take This call, I've served my time and I'm gone Every six months becomes training Day and that revolving door it moved on Every other week theirs a fresh faced new Start, and its all for the wage that you pay They'll dance to the tune that you play And follow that script to the letter each day I caught myself at the bottom, in the fall just like Autumn We fold inside, this is all I know, For sure in time, mend the hearts you stole I work I job I hate to buy shut I don't Need, I don't see myself here for money not greed I can dodge a left hook or take it on the Chin, I can fold my cards or I can play till I win I am the deciding factor, I can change the course of my landscape And no coorprate wage or hand shake will make me follow That mandate and its clear when I speak my minds unique I won't work for a chain gang six days a week Knock the dust off, spill the colour You won't get the chance to see me turn to stone Find a new start, with a keen heart, Leave the window seat and leave the rest of me We fold inside, this is all I know, For sure in time, mend the hearts you stole Oversee me, keep me steady, I forget that I am free to come and go.
