Choosing To Heal

Sittin’ here just getting’ high-
Sharing stories between us guys

Am I dreaming sweetly or in a nightmare?
Does it matter?
Do I care?

I don’t need redemption or anything else-
I just want to learn to love myself!

Escaping reality & conquering fears 
have dulled some neuroses over the years

so much to give...so much to feel
No more eluding, I’m choosing to heal!

Come take a trip with me to a place we’ve never been
where we’ll create a world of holiness mixed with sin

Love and Hate, Peace and War – they all will be a part-
No exclusions or divisions is how it all will start

We’ll be crazily informed with our freedoms all intact
The government can kiss my ass-
There’ll be nothing that we lack!

It’s there for the taking so don’t be confused-
Join me on my journey, to hell with being abused!
