Chain Worker

i am a chain worker

caught in an infinite loop, like a skipping compact disc

my chain provides me with safety

we always know where i am

there's nowhere i can go, where i can't be found

i drink my alcohol deep into the core of my bones

until it completely dissolves

and i cry red, angry tears that no one sees

sometimes mistaken for blood

yeah she worries for me, when i'm out at night alone

but it's that dark, humid walk home that welcomes me most
