#downstream
those who choose to lay in the river
eventually drift
into someone they know
and call it fate

I wish I were asleep right now
inside of a dream, not in town
you were once on my team, til
my sound gave out..
Why're looking at me like that?
It's causing my self esteem to go

Oh, I see it was all just a scheme.

If my dreams were made of ice and I had just one wish,
Someone at the top has already set the cities fire to full blast,
Turning everything I hoped for to a puddle, melting it.
What's the point in this life when everything you want
Depends on if they will open the door for you? It seems
To me we are only doing what the rich all would want us to!
Though this sounds like a stupid rant, but notice if you will,
How much it costs for cops to go to a house simply
Because of a stupid argument, REAL justice unfulfilled.
It's happened before and it will happen again, these tools,
They who make all of my dreams disappear with a snap,
The one who has the least integrity is often the one who rules...

Oh, she says, I’m going to wash you away.
I’m going to wash you so far down stream,
Out to the sea.
I will dilute you in the infinity of the ocean.
The rains will come and off you’ll go.
So far, so far away from me.
I will wash you down with what’s in front of me.
Goodbye to the rain, goodbye to the streams, the sea, the oceans and you.

I bottle up my emotions
and then ship them downstream.

There's no other path
that this gravity will take
Supplanting
my air, my breath
as every sense drowns
within a distorted atmosphere
The walls
rise on and up
As I feel this weight
wiring to my mind
Fuses so short
I never notice the sparks
until the last one pinches
and scatters the emotions within
my now-broken shell.
