On Hold

Rat race
It twists and turns
The maze I run
The lessons learned
It's leading to nowhere
Alleys of pain
To reach a light
To my dismay is not even there

Left alone
Kept on hold
No reception, lost connection
Left alone
Kept on hold
No attention, cursed invention

Extensions that pass me down
Another line
Another round
Lead into the dead zone
A bloodless voice
And tongueless words
Just empty noise invading me

Left alone
Kept on hold
No reception, lost connection
Left alone
Kept on hold
No attention, cursed invention

Hungry, I search for signs
Traces of life
To push rewind
Where names are no numbers
Quotas to fill
A faceless mass
A hoard to bill
A nameless mess

Left alone
Kept on hold
No reception, lost connection
Left alone
Kept on hold
No attention, cursed invention
