No Way Out

Welcome to bloody waters, where sharks roam free to feast as they see food

The fragrance of famine oozing from me too, no I can't be taken for a dish

Sad the light's beyond my grip, my only option, sharpen my teeth, sniff, go out and eat through

I wish that it were different, but that's just the way to see streams

Collateral all around, elders, unborn to preteens

I didn't ask for this, but couldn't return the order

Wrong things were on my plate, but couldn't endure the hunger

I consumed rotten fruit until the taste got normal

Plug my nose with something white so I can ignore the odor

Didn't petition for this pain, had to live with what was chosen

It's just the way it came - it's not my fault that it's broken

I want it all - every pleasure from here to the stars
