Deep down there is where the wishes grow
Fraught with sorrow and blackened woe
High above the tightly packed lair
We dig and burrow to breathe their air
Once in a lifetime a chance appears
For our sacred wish minus our fears
We reach for it blindly without a second thought
Unawares of the cost our wishes have brought
Our paths seem clearer now our wishes have come true
There’s nothing more for us to pursue
Static now we stand alone
In the promise land our wishes had shown
Yet a heart without a wish can only sink
Back down to the ground within a blink
We always think once our wishes come true
Our lives will be complete but this is taboo
A fabricated story told by the masses
To keep us digging for our masters
One day soon we’ll join them there
Deep in their liar with no wish only despair.
