I went down to the swollen river, I had no fear of drowning, I peeped over the bridges barrier, into swirling chocolate brown, I went down the banks so slimy, look how it does eddy, I grabbed the nearest branch right by me for myself to steady, held my head in my two hands, I felt I was now ready, had a little clarity pang I lost all my sense of dread, I have no reason to return. Submerged in water up to my waist now my mind revolves in my head, lost my balance my ankle I did twist, my fingers frozen red. I felt like one of those mental bastards, I lost my shoe. How I’ve fooled all my associates, how I loved that shoe, but it has no reason to return.
