THE WHIRLWIND (alone in a punk rock thorn tree)
EVERYONE I KNOW GOES AWAY IN THE END...
tonight got me thinking
i was barraged with all of images of the strong
preying on the weak
one person destroying another in drunken rage
was it lame
yes
johnny cash said once that he was a "whirlwind in a thorn tree"
now i know what he meant
i might not be a "religious" man
but i do have more than enough faith to spare
i believe in things that have been long forgotten
i was in the thorn tree tonight for sure
a mindless rebellion fueled only by self love
i felt like the whirlwind
blowing through these branches of sin
but still i feel alone for it
will no one stay with me
in honor
and love
i feel desperately helpless that no one will
QOTD: Have you forgotten the face of your father?
THIS IS ALL THERE IS...
the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
the virgins are trimming their wicks
the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
in measured hundred weight and many pound
when the man comes around
