walking the same road again,
again and again...

become beautiful and know
to love with stillness

i found the darkness
in my heart was only me
searching for the light!

suffocate and burn, leaving
track marks, no future!

sold like meat to animals
wearing Wall Street suits!

feed a hungry child
hold the addict while he shakes
