Like A Light

I need something
Like the drug addict on the street
Needs his heroin
I feel insecure like a puppet
In a glass box
I feel like slashing my arms
So everyone thinks I’m insane
Because I don’t care enough about myself
To think about anyone around me
F*ck them
I thought I was better,
But the alcohol tells me I’m crazy
Like everyone else in the asylum
F*ck it
I make no one happy
I never will
I guess I’m insecure about my life.

You've got to keep the light on

You've got to keep the light on!
I'm listening to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison right now but you still have to keep that light on!

Colins comment reminded me of Santana's song "Put your lights on" take a listen...."there's a monster living under my bed, whispering in my ear...there's an angel with her hand on my she sas I've got nothing to fear" It's a good song. Shatter that glass box and find comfort...it's there :)

Enjoyed the metaphors.
