				<l>AFTER THE BARS AND THE GATES AND THE DEGRADATION</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>AFTER THE LOCK INS AND THE LOCK OUTS AND THE LOCK UPS</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>I MEAN, AFTER THE CHAINS THAT GET ENTANGLED IN THE GREY OF ONE'S MATTER</l>
				<l>AFTER THE BARS THAT GET STUCK IN THE HEARTS OF MEN AND WOMEN</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>AFTER THE TEARS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS</l>
				<l>AFTER THE LONELY ISOLATION</l>
				<l>AFTER THE CUT WRIST AND THE HEAVY NOOSE</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>I MEAN, LIKE, AFTER THE COMMISSARY KISSES</l>
				<l>AND THE GET-YOUR-SHIT-OFF-BLUES</l>
				<l>AFTER THE HUSTLER HAS BEEN HUSTLED</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>AFTER THE SAD FUTILE MANEUVERS</l>
				<l>AFTER THE SHRILL AND BARREN LAUGHTER</l>
				<l>AFTER THE CONTRABAND EMOTIONS</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>AFTER THE MURDERBURGERS AND THE COON SQUADS AND THE TEAR GAS</l>
				<l>AFTER THE BULLS AND THE BULLPENS AND THE BULLSHIT</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>I MEAN LIKE, AFTER YOU KNOW THAT GOD CANT BE TRUSTED</l>
				<l>AFTER YOU KNOW THAT THE SHRINK IS A PUSHER</l>
				<l>THAT THE WORD IS A WHIP, AND THE BADGE IS A BULLET</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>AFTER YOU KNOW THAT THE DEAD ARE STILL WALKING</l>

				<l>I MEAN, LIKE, WHERE IS THE SUN?</l>
				<l>WHERE ARE HER ARMS AND WHERE ARE HER KISSES?</l>
				<l>THERE ARE LIP PRINTS ON MY PILLOW</l>
				<l>I AM SEARCHING</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>I MEAN, LIKE, NOTHING IS STANDSTILL AND NOTHING IS ABSTRACT</l>
				<l>THE WING OF A BUTTERFLY CANT TAKE FLIGHT</l>
				<l>THE FOOT ON MY NECK IS A PART OF A BODY</l>
				<l>THE SONG THAT I SING IS A PART OF AN ECHO</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>I MEAN, LIKE, LOVE IS SPECIFIC</l>
				<l>IS MY MIND A MACHINE GUN?</l>
				<l>IS MY HEART A HACKSAW?</l>
				<l>CAN I MAKE FREEDOM REAL? YEAH,</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
				<l>I AM AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF A LOWER-ARCHY</l>
				<l>I AM IN LOVE WITH LOSERS AND LAUGHTER</l>
				<l>I AM IN LOVE WITH FREEDOM AND CHILDREN</l>
				<l>LOVE IS MY SWORD AND TRUTH IS MY COMPASS</l>
				<l>WHAT IS LEFT?</l>
