I am myself in shadows Forsaking the dawn I am myself in darkness Among a crowd of one A solitude of plenty… I am the words to A rounded song, A song to a husky voice A voice to an empty silence That I can not hear… What do I fear? This magnitude of life, I wish that it had passed Me by… If I had been an ordinary lad, Then maybe I won’t be so sad. my end would not have been So bad, In my listless ,senseless compulsions Brewed an endless stream Of addiction, Far worst than I could ever have Imagined, in all the years That I have survived.. What do I fear? One happy thought, Just one happy thought I had none.. All is gone… Alone Louder, and louder The deafening nothingness Leaves me alone Do not leave me alone… Do you fear me? Do you fear what I had become? I had everything That is nothing Of true value But everyone has a price So I must pay the price Of my folly.. My castle is my prison An asylum for my kingdom Long, long time ago I used to know a different man But he was gone before I could remember his name….

05 April, 1976- Death in the Skies
I am myself in shadows Forsaking the dawn I am myself in darkness Among a crowd of one A solitude of plenty… I am the words to A rounded song, A song to a husky voice A voice to an empty silence That I can not hear… What do I fear? This magnitude of life, I wish that it had passed Me by… If I had been an ordinary lad, Then maybe I won’t be so sad. my end would not have been So bad, In my listless ,senseless compulsions Brewed an endless stream Of addiction, Far worst than I could ever have Imagined, in all the years That I have survived.. What do I fear? One happy thought, Just one happy thought I had none.. All is gone… Alone Louder, and louder The deafening nothingness Leaves me alone Do not leave me alone… Do you fear me? Do you fear what I had become? I had everything That is nothing Of true value But everyone has a price So I must pay the price Of my folly.. My castle is my prison An asylum for my kingdom Long, long time ago I used to know a different man But he was gone before I could remember his name….
