I need a break so bad

I need a break so bad I would buy some tires
Just to stop them dead on their tracks
I need a break so bad I would break my own back
Just to feel something snap
I need a break so bad I would grow into a giant
To tear up the skies and make them rain
So that the water gets into all of the machines gears
And all of the people's fears
And jam them to a halt
And slam them with hope
And stillness
And silence.

Then when the metal bowls of cars are frozen
And everyone stands for an anthem unspoken
I would,
Breathe in
Breathe out
And say
"Okay, let's keep on going".
