awash on the tides of city rain i flow through the streets and into the drains numbed by the gaze of uncaring faces try to offer my truth--but they drift away until the streets and myself have no name no longer human--no longer the same lost all hope--lose all dreams--no more pain awake--i choke on human steam and the stench of animal fear tonight i`m going to light a match and let the sewer burn--until my soul is clear each night a thousand hearts are wasted on those who don`t care if they live or die each day i wade through vacant stares and wonder are they looking for the same things as i i see the people turn away and still hear every word they say hope someday i`ll have the nerve to put a bullet through my brain and not a needle in my vein
