Wet concrete imprisons me, but I pretend not to care
As it slowly dries around me, and I don't even dare
To scream for help and rescue, from my pressured line of life
Or have the guts to face myself or end it with my knife
When surrounded by the aliens, I toughen up my skin
But unknown to my captors, I'm a loser deep within
As tension builds inside me; no way to let it out
I slowly start to wonder, what my life's about
The pressure inside increases, I can't maintain for long
Going about my business, pretending that I am strong
