Darling word-artist you point out what you see and the facades collapse it is a miracle that you stand by People come to it, they want to believe in you
Darling word-artist your words confuse you and haunt you, screaming from the mouths of people who want to be redeemed by you
For hours, they explain each other what you mean, or they write out contractual guarantees. You pull yourself away, with self-mockery you captivate the people who cheer It is true what you say
you take yourself too seriously Why don't you save yourself? Why do you choose to wander in your dreams to find redemption in the heaven of your dissatisfaction?
Joan Baez and Bob Dylan in 1966 (song "Visions of Johanna")
