Another Side

Lyrics for Another Side

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
