Be still
(maybe then they won’t attack)

Be quiet
(maybe then you’ll get it right)

Be less
(maybe then we will fit)

Follow the rules
(beware there are booby traps)

Follow your peers
(beware they’ll report on you)

Follow your master
(beware they hold your chains)

It will never be enough
(but you’ll keep trying anyway)

It will break your spirit
(but it was broken anyway)

It will bring you to your knees
(they’re mauled anyway)

Maybe it will make you stronger
(maybe it will just keep you broken)

Maybe you’ll escape
(maybe you’ll stay caged)

Maybe you’ll finally be enough
(maybe but I doubt it)
