lyrics

From the kiln they have borne me
tempered and forged me
into the right size
They polished my faces
and hardened my edges
as the blueprint specifies
They say, “how does it feel, son?
to be part of something
so triumphantly big?”
Well, helical gears mesh
so smooth and so quiet
they don’t shake the machine.

So what do I do with my hands
now that I’ve sold them
for an hourly wage
Yes, I am the one
who’s been building the bars
to enclose my cage.
