walls of stonework, plastic bottles littering these streets
cutting our feet on broken glass, hold my hand,
guide me to the chapel and steal my soul
sell it on the black market like a
crack whore's baby, sweet child o' mine
washing our love, our livelihood down the drain
watch it spin, pinwheels alike to those we blew as children
glittering in the warm summer sun, all surrounded by fields of wheat and burrs
you'd hold my hand with softer palms and much less toil
take me down to the stream, babbling brook
dried up like a desert now, full of coble and fashion centers
dusty shelves inside, lined with fogbanks, selling ammonia and bleach
to fight of the beasts, gas them out
choke 'em to death, chloroform and styrofoam in our hearts and
stuffed in our ears,
can't hear our own crying, our own blood spatter,
god we're
dead
dear god we're
dead
inside.
