Drained

She drowns dreams in a soapy bathtub
Breathe the suds in deep
Down the drain in a swirling whirlpool
To where dead dreams sleep

Hungry souls lie in wait beneath the
Pool so full of death
Grasping at each glimpse of meaning
But don't hold your breath

Not much comes back once it's gone under
And what does is changed
We give up life and chase the ending
Don't you find it strange?
