An ideal existence Discovering a book Perfectly written

Minds go: this cycle must continue Legs are chained to the pedals

Elastic has to give at some point Expand, contract, decrease contact When the smallest things trigger Grave danger, grave digger

This presets a lie Will insides decide To grow up and not give in?
