Empty Elevator Shaft - Silkworm

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
