Open Spaces - Freddy Fresh

When I was young

Younger Than Now

I went to school like always!

We took our bags

We took a trip

To Freddy’s pizzaria

There was a sign

«No frowns allowed»

We passed through glowing doorways!

The air was filled with not a care

In our world

Then I saw ya

The janitor said,

«Come with me, got something cool to show ya!»

I followed him into the back

Where costumes lined the walls

There were three others there!

And we sat there and stared!

The janitor took

Away our contented looks

He stuffed and he pushed

Us into wire frame suits!

He ran from the lot

While he left us to rot!

Camera one and two and three

I swear to God

They’re after me

I see the faces on the screen

But no where they are to be seen

Lock the doors and keep em shut

Don’t let them in, no matter what!

No power left;

an empty cup

Don’t let those doors Open Up!

For years we rotted

Empty shells

Our souls never ascending

Our fragile bones had fused with

Steal and wires never rending

The others have long since forgot

Their roots and mortality

I still hold tight what’s left of what was once my reality

I sit and I wait

For a change of my fate!

But the longer we stay

Brings longer dismay

And now we are here

After thirty long years!

We cry underneath

Rows of plaster-frame teeth

Camera one and two and three

I swear to God

They’re after me

I see the faces on the screen

But no where they are to be seen

Lock the doors and keep em shut

Don’t let them in, no matter what!

No power left;

an empty cup

Don’t let those doors Open Up!

But I must admit

That it is you, Mr. Schmidt

That brings back the pain

That has kept us detained

I think of that day

When my life was stripped away

The janitor;

he

Looks like you to me!

Camera one and two and three

I swear to God

They’re after me

I see the faces on the screen

But no where they are to be seen

I’m the one who took your lives

But it seems that you never died

Took this job to pay the bills

But this job might just get me killed!
