Four String Guitar

by @South-by-Southwest

Just a crack in the brick wall A red rubber ball The last time you can't remember When you stood tall The monotonous hologram The seaside hotdog stand The regrets piled higher than any mountain can Four stringed guitar Home in an abandoned car Courage in a bottle Wishing still on the first star Still he caresses the neck Presses down the frets Sings three octave blues On life's reef of wrecks He's free lost in the chords The music opens doors The pathway is as bleak as sin While inside he reaches for more He goes off to sleep He has his dreams deep About a paradise for losers And a five string guitar
