The Rising Decline Project on Bill Selak Talks: Part 20 of 30

“You’ve listened to the episode, now listen to the song, and sing along. Free for a limited time. And by limited, I mean forever.
Note: this is the tenth track of the 15-track album, and episode 20 of the 30 episode podcast series.

Reflection

Sitting below, I look to the right
The bee grows tired but continues to fight
Held captive by the glass in a room against his will. The struggle goes on.
He longs to understand, to recognize,
To see the world through different eyes.
But try though he may, the freedom that he needs is just beyond his reach.

I think that maybe you’d see me standing there in a picture drawn to scale.
Unknown.
I’m smiling as I fail. I fit in. Concealing what’s inside.

Feeling confused, he’s feeling denied
With nothing to show for what he’s tried.
With one ounce of strength he clutches to the glass, and falls to the floor.
And that’s where he’ll stay, his wings laying still until he awakes and regains his will.
His hopes alive again, he looks up above and strives towards his goal.

I think that maybe you’d see me standing there in a picture drawn to scale.
Unknown.
I’m smiling as I fail. I fit in. Concealing what’s inside.
