lyrics

Locked away from the world
Everyone is a number.
Changing two’s everyday–
the electrician and the gardener.

Deceit lies behind treachery,
old friends turn their backs.
A watch given for escape:
only a reminder.

I have resigned.
I am not a number.

Clouds of smoke obscure all,
Clear the air with your actions.
Sharp as a knife
Cut through the hearsay.

Seashore at noon
Waiting for the good news.
A response to your words:
“Everyone is a pawn.”
I have resigned.
I am not a number.
