They say get a grip, falling off the rails, let another lifetime slip, don't need drugs to pray, sooth my bones, my quest never goes away, juicers have surly lips, manacled by wretched homes, others take a coin and flip, tired jokes and spirits crave, on 49 different time zones, lies in everything they say, it makes the eyes dip, cheeks ringed by hollows, wonder if you’ll make the trip won’t know how to sleep, if I can act grown, when faith takes a leap, the only way to go.
