Dreams extinguished like
Lucys once lit
Floating in toilets full of piss and s#!t
Broken, I'm floatin' in a nightmare that won't quit
Commodes hold us back like crabs clawing for preservation
Random d! € ks keep aiming, trying to piss me off then flush, to undermine my determination
But I keep treading this foul water cuz I don't belong in no f% $&€_% sewer
With the dead fish, phlegm, urine, and manure
So pick me up mother$=/ka, and flick me in the trash where I belong!
