Empty Elevator Shaft

Wasted all the scratch I had Fish swam from the net The watery percentages Should've known better than that Deals meant For a better plan Synthesized from fear Bank accounts full of empty checks Affairs of the heart draw near Check your luggage with the janitor Trovel light when you go Down an empty elevator shaft No light between floors Tail end of a trauma Took a fortnight to lapse Strange and inconceivable Almost impossible perhaps Though I wanted it to happen And I could wait For the rest I couldn't handle the pressure Or justify the expense No heat in the baggage hold It's a paralyzing cold Backpack stashed in the overhead Duct tape on the doors Just a sticky bloody mess Bunch of wet flesh and bones Stuck to the walls in the alley Dogs come around to explore Never thought that it would come to this It was an honest mistake People take failure differently Some of us never get a break
