Break Me Away!

I wake up 4 hours early
To fight the tide daily
Drowning in the faceless sea
Of this nation's mediocrity
And I'm still late
Blastin' Kenna on the MTA
Losing myself in the pages
Of urban literary decay
Exchanging glances
Behind transparent lenses
Then I use the key
To unlock 8 hours of light-loaded slavery
Suckered into offers they can just reprimand
Then I drown in the sea again
