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
