They let me out now on weekend leave. Supposed to help me find my feet, get some peace. They call it reintergration. To me, it's just another Hell.

Ahhh

Draining another can

Putting that half smoked Lucky Strike

Out of its misery

 
Through my blinds

I see the pimps and the whores

Their tricks

Trying to hide from the neon glare

 
Don’t matter if it’s rain

Or snow

Or ninety in the morning sun

The carnival goes on

 
So when I clock back on

To gut those fish

Pack the coley

Worm the cod

 
I see my life

Disappearing

Down that conveyor belt

As well
