Bailey

I'm a beggar with a broken gaze,
a broken
mind, a broken
soul

This blue city is a concrete chute
An elevator shaft you
can't not fall
down

Look at you people
Look at you walking
Look at you going
Where you going to go

The cold days is coming
I didn't used to be like this
I used to be a person
The cold days is coming

The snow clarion beast
won't go away from
me now; I see him wielding his frozen chains
in the smoke

rising on the river. He got
roadkill for eyes, he got
me in his eyes, no mercy
for a stranger here, this side of

the road. Look
at you
people. Where
you

walking.
Look at you. Where
you going. Where you going
to go?
