Was it the first in a line
Of black moments that took me
From lights sightless eyes
To the drab world of contentment.
That which made my being
Into a song of West Hollywood whores
Drug adicts, wino's, prima donna's
And all those aching to be found.
There on the steps of discord
Flying like mist in a breeze
Stood the vision of angels fallen
That soon would be like me.
And covering my naked ears
To stop the voices from inside
I sank down and slept in gutters
Making my home filthy and clutterd.
Then to wake by sounds of the eve
The pearly drops that feel
From high buildings whose tops
Pierced the sky in mans attempt to be God.
Just another night,
Just another silent eve upon my soul,
Just another lost cause at rebelion
That failed to get going.

Heavy stuff here...dark, brooding. Some great imagery placed here and there...and so many questions. Nice work. Hardrock
