Latch String
I'm living in an un-free world...and nobody realizes it
Except for me
My heart longs and yearns for a cosmic cleansing of my spirit
A rapturous reprise from the stifling nature of man and his evil deeds
I want to ride waves of euphoria into worlds unseen...unheard of
I want to venture into sublime space between the seams
Where no light or darkness exists...just me...only me
The solipsist boy in his room watching cartoons on TV screens
Wondering if there are any people out there in the playground universe
Who can save me from the ravages of mankind
And it's pure defiled raging bane under destructive fists
We are all alone...there is no one there to rescue us from ourselves
And darling, if I could I would hop into a Tardis and escape this banal existence
Because the sand box is full of broken glass
And there aren't enough Flintstone's Band-Aids to hide the cuts
From a lying father, and a mother who explodes ear drums
I was never meant to be in this world, and how selfish of me to compare
The pains of my past with the pasts of my dear friends...
We have all been there...every one of us latch string kids
Raising ourselves, because our parents were babies themselves
But it's okay, because we can escape this night my love
Just vertical slits, empty bottles, and bleach milkshakes
Take us away from this...
To real freedom...
