Scales for skin permanent armour. dive right in drown in the mortar. walk on by hide in plain sight. the corridors are home tonight. the city streets are damp with blood. broken dreams turn to mud. quicksand forms below your feet. sink into your selfdefeat. shot down! you couldnt advance blamed it on the circumstance. excuses flow like a river promise the world but you never deliver. too late your time has past spend your nights under the overpass. unmarked just a covered lump a shallow grave in the city dump.
