I can't wait
But I'll come down to touch bases
Though I know what awaits me
All my life
I've been wanting to change faces
Because I can't stand myself
I have time
While I'm waiting to touch bases
To love you as you hate me.
It cant' be found
What's been killed and bound
I can't see
What fo you mean?
Tied inside
My early winding sheets are a bit too
Tight
To be real in this L.A. hillside
At the sky burning cusp of
Night
"I like looking at the moon through a haze"
"I also like the way the moon looks on the snow at night"
"When it falls"
"When we all fall"
I feel disgusted by your moral duty to civilize me"
"And insulted"
"I am angst& rage"
"Turned up,
Cranked out"
My trade winds gently breezing
My mellow memories freezing
A new time when only shadows see
Crossing the beaches to the shallow seas
Starting a long trip back to me
I hope a long trip is what it will be
"Why don'tI ever feel like I really belong?"
"Where is all the happiness I was promised as a child?"
"I feel like a dark cloud is decending over me and its swooping me up into the sky"
"Where I can see everything"
"And everything is beautiful"
"I'm floating w/out the dark cloud"
"I'm free in the heavens"
"I'm flying"
"I've always been afraid of dying"
"But,"
"Now I realize that I should have been afraid of living"
