Reach Out
lyrics by Jodie
reach out
like a mother’s warm embrace
with a gold star in mind
choose a path
of cool concrete and lace
orderly chaos in time
scroll of paper, tassle of gold
pulled down and led astray
no face, rigid, cold
no care, a system in decay
no care, a system in decay
trust in yourself
stop looking outside
concrete walls grow weak
tradition falls to the floor
in this cold institution
know so much
understand so little
one size to fit your mind
scroll of paper, tassle of gold
pulled down and led astray
no face, rigid, cold
no care, a system in decay
no care, a system in decay
trust in yourself
stop looking outside
hope for the best
impersonal daydream
and not a waste of time
the writings on the wall
smooth flowing like lace
she’s elegant and kind
walk away or accept
a prison of the mind
a prison of the mind
scroll of paper, tassle of gold
pulled down and led astray
no face, rigid, cold
no care, a system in decay
no care, a system in decay
no care, a system in decay
