human disease

there's a place up the road where the **** of this town meet

The city, is so ***** you catch infections from the street

The creatures congregate, their motives cloak and dagger

Occasionally, i can be found, drunk i  stumble and stagger

 

I can't breathe, suffocating in this poison town

A terminal social cancer from a carcinogenic crowd

Suffering melted skin from the acid rain,

Fried nerves from bullet burns shot through my brain

 

And you're polluting my eardrums

With your toxic verbal sludge

And your tarnished silver tongue

Is lapping up my blood
