guitar strings

322 33 52
                                    

a guitar string
holding onto me
like 5 years past -
pass the time
read between the lines
overlooked some lies.

the drum that's still my heartbeat
a little mad season
it's been a while,
back to the temple
where the sun is mine,
where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven.

like Chris Cornell said:
'no one sings like you anymore'
and really no one does.

I remember how I used to be before
guess I'll take the pieces back -
I'm really back in black,
with a flower crown
and it sounds like Woodstock.

heaven send hell away,

hello heaven.
