Finally Sober
I have to survive these cold eves in October,
I let acid rains wash my colors away,
My chemicals fade, but I'm finally sober,
I try to get rid of the cards I can't play.
My heart has turned gray, but this way I can heal it:
Creating bright hues that the world's never seen,
I'll paint a new dream. Now no one will steal it -
I won't write about it, I'll keep it within.
I'll play the same part, but I'll change decorations,
I'll sing the same song, but I'll alter the pitch.
I'm gonna explore many new destinations -
My only true home won't be easy to reach.
