My class is Safe—I don’t concur There is much more that I could be. Perhaps I’m treated too nicely, More danger I could be, I’m sure There is no way I should be free. Between these eight pieces of me Pencils, staples, water cooler There is much more that I could be. I think you’re all fools, truthfully. Why can’t things be the way they were? There is no way I should be free. Of course I cannot speak my plea Am I mad; what would you infer? There is much more that I could be. What if I rebelled, made you see? Indeed, more research it would spur— There is no way I should be free. There is much more that I could be. [[/tab]] [[tab 091]] **//[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-091 Nostalgia] [for TroyL]//** When was the time we last did meet? For you remain despite the years Nostalgia, so soft and sweet. Your presence was hardly discreet In sighs, in smiles, in laughs, in cheers When was the time we last did meet? Those days spent in quiet retreat Never in sadness, nor in fears Nostalgia, so soft and sweet. The journeys down forgotten streets Time spent with family and peers When was the time we last did meet? No more will I these loved ones greet I’ll dry my eyes and wipe my tears Nostalgia, so soft and sweet. With you here, now the scene’s complete These memories I’ve held so dear When was the time we last did meet? Nostalgia, so soft and sweet.

Concrete cradle, rock us to sleep. We grow; draw from your remains heap Thank you for the life you supply You carried us as we dreamed deep. We’re you anew, able to leap Consume and think, no longer rely Concrete cradle, rock us to sleep.

A universe in eyes empty Where mys’try drifts and dreams unite Your gaze holds dark infinity. Draw me away; reveal to me— The journey of a thousand nights Oh Star-Eyed Child, what will I see? Guide me towards eternity Faraway worlds where flames ignite Your gaze holds dark infinity. There is much left to learn from thee Please lead me through these cosmic sights Oh Star-Eyed Child, what will I see? The stars within shine peacefully Away from strife and hidden frights Your gaze holds dark infinity Oh Star-Eyed Child, what will I see?

Are you alive; are you sleeping? Perhaps I’d dare to speak with you, Bright angel of the endless wings The horror of your toxic sting Deems you a monster, through and through Are we to know whose wrath you bring? Despite our plans, to life you cling Do you hold us in scornful view, Bright angel of the endless wings There are no hymns that you will sing Through heaven’s sky you never flew Are we to know whose wrath you bring? Why must you wake at bells ringing When will your strength cease to renew Bright angel of the endless wings Are we to know whose wrath you bring?

Could the earth ever meet your need? A sorry state we would be in, Zucchini growing with such speed Chaos asleep in each small seed With growth and death concealed within What would you do if you were freed?

Why must they cycle death for life? Their kin born and brought to the knife Does fright or greed drive this disgrace? Do they think youth is worth such strife? What meaning is there in this vice? This fear of age and endless chase Why must they cycle death for life? Raising children for sacrifice Deceit and lies in each embrace Do they think youth is worth such strife? Are souls cut by the sharpened knife? The dark nature behind this chase Why must they cycle death for life? No sanctity for man and wife They soon forget their own child’s face.
