Light The Beacons

I wander far from safety Walk corridors that scare me My thoughts harangue me daily My problems stack high My conscience drives me crazy I’m tortured by my failings I’m running out of patience I’m not a bad guy XXX Drive the demons from me Time’s not healing my grief Starve the fever in me Can you hear me? Knife the creature in me Life’s great heel’s upon me Bribe the dealer for me Light the beacons now XXX My choices liberate me And almost vindicate me But voices still berate me Snap that padlock Walk water when the sail’s bent Cut corners on the pavement Take drugs for entertainment Strike the matchbox XXX Drive the demons from me Time’s not healing my grief Starve the fever in me Can you heal me? Knife the creature in me Life’s great heel’s upon me Bribe the dealer for me Light the beacons now
