thick, drawn curtains
warm, too warm yellow lights
in exchange for the bright morning sun

if i was born into the heights
they tell you don't look down
as they push you past the edge
they gave me eyes that could see
just to show me horrible things
sung praises of free will
but my fate is predetermined
told me to hold on tight
just to pry my fingers apart
