Been searching
for a Life
that’s good.

Found it in
My record
collection.

Found it
in each
smash session,

each lesson
learned, each
smoked out room.

Fell asleep,
woke in a
medicinal cave.

Wrote my mind
back to get
my brain.

Like it was
enslaved by
an alien race.

Full frontal
genius, get a
change of pace.

Beat the
rhythm drum,
quest for

other
instruments
to play.
