Compassion really did me in

Twenty feet off sunset

It's kind of quiet

for a saturday night

in Hollywood.

 

I wonder where the crowds gone?

my friends must have went off

to drink.

 

It's better that I stayed

There's quit alot to write

I promised myself

That I would.

 

The hotel room is quiet

except the ringing in my ears

from the amps

and the crowd.

 

Here in room 227

the loud has dripped to empty

alone at last,where I feel normal

almost.

 

My thoughts and memories

have always been too big

not shallow

not empty.

 

I wouldn't rise to watch others fail

Compassion really did me in.

 

A pounding heart,and brain

I couldn't stop neither

And Iv'e surely tried

they just got stronger.

 

Although 227 would appear empty

It's filled with many others

who have influenced me

to rid the sedation.
