the same shit in a different toilet
-----------------------------------

here i am 6000 miles away and you
  followed me here
    the ghosts in my ears
      as i listen to the same rhetoric
        about petty social infractions.

how far must i go to free myself
    of this world?

it would not be so hard to end it all
  but like jewels
    shimmering through the dust
  these dreams and
    hard edges formed in
      the fires of the depths
    will not be broken
  these diamonds
    will not be broken
      they are too strong.

different faces, different places
  but it's all the same shit in a 
    different toilet.
