Concrete

by Cainer   Sep 3, 2009


I find in me a poison
A poison i call concrete
Its course particles
Have now become a part of me

My soul is like a block foundation
Put together well it can withstand a lot
But even the best laid blocks can fall
And is ultimately faulty

Concrete has turned my blood gray
My veins now carry this plague throughout my body
Hardening my soul and my heart
Concrete has taken over my life

Concrete can be the building blocks of life
But can also be the cause of its downfall
Because no matter how strong it may be
Concrete will fail, It will Come crumbling down

Concrete could very well destroy me
It has taken a good portion of my life away from me
It may very well be the end of my happiness
After all i have given to this profession it seems i haven't anything in return

I feel as though my body and soul are drowned in sand and gravel
Ripped clean of any existence outside of concrete
Forced to remain a slave to it until the body can no longer handle it
Just seems there is no escaping the curse that is masonry

I hate everything about this material
And i have taken all i can take
But no matter how far i run
I'm stuck with concrete forever
