She got the ghosts
She got the dying
She hears the ecstatic voices
She hears lost calls crying
She been down so vast in emptiness
She had the bad dreams
She begged for real life
She’s so scared
Of the things beyond our everyday trouble and strife
She’s seen the horrifying
Truths been too startling
She woken up to the great nothing
But she’s got life
She’s seen good times
She’s done the white lines
Basked in amphetamines
She’s lost in a shadow
But someday she’ll be found
When the air is back again
And again we see the sky
Her salvation rides with her
As she races on, races on
Into the untamed madman wind

Heartwrenching...yet with hope. I hope the sun shines brightly and warmly upon this person - if it is about someone real.

Strong message about a life free of responsibility, though the consequences were always there, in plain view, accrueing interest for later payment in full. I am reminded of the no-holds-barred lifestyle of the late 70's and early 80's, and how some who entered never truly came back, held hostage by a deep internal craving for just one more fix..just one more...then I'll go straight...honest...just one.

Powerful stuff here.

it all catches up to us sooner or later, but it is never to late...very emotional write, which depicts the consequences of our actions...life is so incredibly unmatched and goes way beyond....

Powerfully written...thank you for sharing.
