Scaffold Dreams

Steel bars twist in the haze

Concrete ghosts haunt the days

Climbing high no end in sight

Hands bleeding

Gripping tight

Scaffold dreams

Scaffold screams

High above the city's schemes

Fast cars below

They roar and gleam

But up here

It's just the beam

Nails in my boots

Dirt in my soul

Sky’s so close

It swallows whole

Wind cuts sharp like a broken blade

Sweat drips down

Shadows fade

Do they see me? Do they care?

I'm just the bones of the air

Scaffold dreams

Scaffold screams

High above the city's schemes

Fast cars below

They roar and gleam

But up here

It's just the beam

Fast cars

They race

They shine

But down there

That ain't mine

My world shakes

It sways

It leans

Living life between the seams
