Analysis of above the clouds

bill watts 0001 (WA)



i feel above myself

out of my skin

fuzzy, warm, free to smile and laugh

why is this so easy when life is hard and dull?

how can this be bad?

not bad at all, not at all, never forever until

nowhere to sleep safely

my sins cloud everything

every attempt at oblivion is fucked by memories

until the last time

hello old friend
