Her voice echoed behind me, down the hall
I was too ****** to turn and look
I was too ****** to walk, so I crawled
Crawled myself into a nook

I stayed there and sheltered myself
Thinking about the wrongs I’ve done
All the foolish ways I wreck my health
Then I gazed to the rising sun

I want the strength of my father, but the love of my mother
I want to be free, free from the questions they ask
I’m a liar, I’ll lie to the face of a lover
Then I’ll hide, hide myself behind a mask

It seems like I’ll always be looking kin
So drop me a line or leave me a verse
I’ll wait here until then
And pray that I’m not a curse

I’ll sit and write a line or two
Filling my head with an empty muse
While all I hear is I miss you
Is it from my mind or the drugs I abuse

I reach out to you, to find a needle
It’s not a fair exchange, but it eases my brain
It forms a cloud over all the evil
The rain that follows is my life trickling down the drain
