Don't think I'd have stayed just for one more day,
It seems so much like home,
No room to go astray,
Don't think I could watch - with
Mindless, empty tasks,
Intake moving in, forced to walk a lonely path.

Pictures all around, of how good a life should be,
A model for the rest,
That bred insecurity,
I walked a jagged line and then came back for more,
It's always in my mind,
An institution with no law.
