Caricature of A Joke |
It’s getting ready to pour |
Streetlights flicker on again |
Once more it’s time to descend |
Into the end of another long day |
A week 'til the fourth a month 'til this dump’s dead end |
But this heart is mine to lend not just anyone’s to take away |
Watery eyes I got all choked up |
Paper-thin walls keep it down |
All the bad habits that you took on |
Are coming out more every round |
All the cars are splashing by |
In a hurry to get their drivers home |
Have one of them take you along |
The first good safe chance I get |
Maybe Earth’s core can pull on your empty head |
And someone else can pretend |
That your skin doesn’t get in the way |
Get your head up |
The end is near |
No one said this would be fun |
One short drive |
One long pull on the trigger of a loaded gun |
There goes the water |
Turn those headlights off |
It’s hot as hell and the extra wattage wears me down |
Like a wick eaten up by the flame |
Drains overflow |
The gutter’s slow and choked |
It came and stole my friend and left a caricature of a joke |
