5000 gallons coming down on my melon
The weight God has given
To punish my lack of conviction
I can taste the frog spit
I can't inhale it
I'll have to accept it through osmosis
My concrete feet are killing me
Murky minds turn to muddled speech
Thoughts of death are always comforting
Floating past the trash
Jersey needles are sticking me
I'll never last as long as this plastic
Choking on the past
Things are going so swimmingly
Learning how to breathe
But burning rivers make me think
The natural purpose of everything
Is to witness and become suffering
And keep moving
Forever searching for
35th and Haverford
Happiness was never the answer
Floating past the trash
Insufficiency always driving me
I'll never last as long as this plastic
Uncomfortable at last
Things are going so swimmingly
Now that I've learned how to breathe
5000 gallons coming down on my melon
The greatest gift god has ever given
For what ignites the brain more than the fear of drowning
For what calms the soul more than the myopic act of dying
For what
For what
For nothing
For what
For what
For Bleefore
