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. |
