Analysis of Life As I Know It....
Life as I know it...
By Shawn Healy
this life as i knew has seem to fade..
long time memories seems way to far away...
days ago everything was everything...
soon found on the road...
confusion leads to insanity...
then whats it all for?
to sit in a cell when ive felt that way before?
your jail engulfs me in that sweet evanescent embrace....
but ive been that way before...
im here now to tell you good bye and spare my life for me....i need
this.
