insanity, usa (killeen,tx)

I'm twisted once more
checking into a world I explore
where the sidewalks never stay straight
and the lights are always bright
yes I'm faded
and the world is going crazy
flying and dying inside and out
going insane with a scream and a shout
with a selfrighteous suicide
cause I'm faded
and I really don't care any more
nothing forgiven and nothing remains
pockets empty since 1938
fingers falling away from here and now
still I'm faded
locked inside with my version of the lord
a dozen beers and a bottle of jack
my lord's at the bottom of the last one I grab
and the end is drawing near
and I'm fading

away

This is so sad and so very well expressed. I can feel the despair.
