Under The Bridge (unedited)

Under the bridge Pills, muscle & back relief Empty Cigarettes, mirror pond pale ale Sail away from consciousness Kill slowly Socials Studies 10 homework Conflicted cultures, transient economy Fur hats Exploration, exploitation, for Fur hats! Litter, candy wrapper What are you underneath that pretty shell? Hard heart Soft heart Fragile Pencil Potential Lost hope, failed system Failure Still the stream runs on, runs away A steady hum, a constant purr Pure Impure Sinner One day the stream will dry And be forgotten, swept away into Oblivion Our memories, our ghosts Numbed by the sound of water Vanishes in time's cascade Like pioneers and their fur hats.
