Atlas

Somewhere between a want and a need

There too lies hope and greed

Like angel or devil resting on your shoulder

Atlas is straining

Atlas will strain under you

Minds are hard to change; they hold onto lies and reject the strange

But we can relearn or begin to rearrange

These angels and devils weighing down our shoulders

Atlas is cracking

Atlas will crack under us

And I'm tired from the strain

And I'm tired from the strain of

This new mundane

And I'm tired from the strain of

These angels and devils pinning down my shoulders

Atlas is breaking

Atlas will break under me
