Dirty Water

Punk Rock is no more

By Christopher HeadPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Pants around my ankles again

Thinking about all my sins

Where are all my friends

Single pane northern wind

Cant cover the smell of depression

With cherry air fresheners

Stole my quarters again

Fee for dirty water cleaned again

Underneath my feet lie an old man and his ashes

Open my eyes it's all your trash

The animals are falling to pieces

Fortunately my soul never freezes

Pushed and pushed till I lost my home

If I could flush all this shit it'd be gone

Spent a year with gangsters and addicts

Hit the gas through the brick wall I'm manic

I was supposed to be the hero

I was gonna save us all

When the moment came I was a no show

The unexpected fall

The kids watch me explode

They already know

Dad's gone off the edge again

Gotta walk on ice again

One pill, two pill, three

By noon who will I be

Antipsychotics anxiety and mood

After all these chemicals who the hell are you
