Tonight I slammed the door

and ran away from myself.

Wandering in the valley of hate,

despising the weak reflection,

I donned my maroon cap

and listened to a garden of sounds.

And it was on this trip

to find the many paths taught,

on the way to the soul forger

I looked inside my head

and saw advice piled in mounds.

I suggest that you come

and fall out of yourself

if you're gonna pass

the test of ages

If I knew where I was,

I could have grasped direction.

As it was, I am here

still wallowing thru decisions

about things I no longer

really give a fuck about.

There will be no surrender

in this war, my friend.

This settles it all: for life.

Pick your way carefully cause

there may not be a return stub

to this waterfall of drought.

I suggest that you come

and fall out of yourself

if you're gonna pass

the test of ages
