Amethyst , Greek for not intoxicated A gemstone of violet colored quartz once believed provided protection against becoming intoxicated Black Butterfly , a book about transformation and rebirth after death But I don't know where the stripper drama comes in The rest is life , compartmentalized into daily drudge Oh , but for the last dregs of glory at the bottom of the bottle of life The electric breath that once activated every nerve cell of your being into ecstacy has become a distant emoticon that was once closer than shadow thin But now has become the one living in a graveyard with hopes of raising dead dreams
