Inferno

Puddles of poison on every block
Hurry zig-zag in and out steady beat the clock.
Smells of stale garbage and acid rain on cement.
I am running to the light but its all like a dead end.
Wait for morning, will it come?
If it doesn't come undone and continue the toil.

When did it become so diabolical?
I am not just another automaton.
I'm dying to save myself.
The ritual is infernal,
The medicine is infernal,
The dialogue is infernal.
The whole goddamn thing is up in an inferno.

I bruised and bloody and dripping wet looking for an ally that
I've never met.
Will we ever accidentally collide,
Say "sorry" brush off and look her in the I.
"I'm on your side." - when taking sides has died.
Pass the flame and make it right.
"We're gonna make it another night"

Glistening from street lamps that all but illuminate.
Retired from their duties no funds to replace.
Will it ever be the same way it used to be?
Even birds are broken and they refuse to sing.
