The Dance

It's legal in Origon I say to myself
this is why I'm here
I swallow and close my eyes
my heart is pounding and I feel week
I wasn't sad but I felt dead inside
I had enough and far too much
now I feel sad because it isn't what I want
but it seems like the only way
and now I dance wildly
I see black and then I dream
