all these dreams seem faded
drowning in the silent sea
the stars are all silver jaded
loneliness will never set you free
passion burns beneath my heart
i’m bringing down the fucking walls
withered thoughts are torn apart
inside my mind the voice calls
loaded weapon this silenced gun
life is fading like a setting sun
load your weapon silence your tongue
life is fading like a setting sun
rules are meant to be broken
that’s the price of freedom
there’s no fire yet it’s smokin’
that’s the price of freedom
freedom….
freedom….
all these distant eyes stare
blaming me for their own sins
i’m sitting in the electric chair
they applaud with evil grins
i’m just another test subject
a sacrificial lamb to be slain
another part of deaths project
stripped of life because they’re insane
loaded weapon this silenced gun
life is fading like a setting sun
load your weapon silence your tongue
life is fading like a setting sun
rules are meant to be broken
that’s the price of freedom
there’s no fire yet it’s smokin’
that’s the price of freedom
freedom….
freedom….
that’s the price
that’s the price
freedom….
that’s the price
that’s the price
freedom….

Clusterfuck?! WHAT?!
Good thing I didn’t know Joey G back then, his face woulda met my boot.
Wow. That just flew outta my fingers…
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. You wouldn’t be the first that felt that way, my own mother wanted to slap him upside the head a couple of times. lol. Appreciate you.

Reminds me of a poem I wrote around the whole invasion of iraq. The poem is lost to me, but I remember some of the lines were.
“you can go ahead and die for your country
I value my life over everything
and if I’m gonna die
it’s not gonna be me wasted away
for a bunch of fucking creeps”
This poem has fire and I love that.
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Nice. What you remember of it. I had a lot more fire during this era of my life, I still have fire but I use it differently. At least that’s how it feels anyhow. Appreciate you.
