The Form Don

[Verse 1]
They filed the land while I was gone
Paper wings
Already flown
Forms moved faster than living care
Ink in the margins
Nothing there

They called it gift
They stamped it done
Passed it around like it weighed none
Silence signed what I never gave
A form got folded
I stayed brave

[Chorus]
I still stand
Hands bare
But my name in my hands
You can pass that page around
But nothing leaves while I still stand
While I still stand

[Verse 2]
They boxed my past in numbered rooms
Tiny lines deciding what I lose
Photocopied promises
Thin and pale
Tried to make my heartbeat just a sale

Agenda on the table
Eyes so kind
Every smile rehearsed to change my mind
They said “it’s simple
Just your mark”
But I kept my witness in the dark

[Chorus]
