And suddenly. . . I was there!!!

Amazed by what I saw
The truth lies in the middle
On the road for six years
And honestly I don’t care
If I ever make it back alive.

The small stones in the road
Represent the fragments of my skull
That I left in many different
Black holes across this wicked
Universe and in this second verse.

I love when the rain falls
I feel you
I love the smell that is left
When you stay the night
I feel your fingers slide
Softly

­       my back
and my head
Cannot grip this memory and keep it
Together for you
Long enough
To shake me out of the crossfire
And back into that sparrow’s nest
Of hair that I call my home, you know
Girl, you need to know what’s going on
On the other-side
Your life is going nowhere down there
Midtown is not downtown
It is the final circle of hell
And you are just getting started
I’m getting all backwards and forwards
Is ****** for good stories

Take a step, take a breath back
In and out, out and in
A little love, loves a little sin

I want you
I want you too
I want you to remember
