The Essay

Turn on your mind and float down stream
Take a taste of what my life seems to be
I've got a story that I'd like to share
That's been hidden away, if you care

Will I see you on the other side
This wall has grown tall for me to hide
Frightened by all that I have seen
All these memories are killing me
This gun goes in the Zimmerman hole
My soul, it has not been sold
This mind is only mine
But this wall has grown tall over time

Sometimes life just slips away
Faster and faster the years as fast as days
More and more you bury the dinosaur
Don't let the child lose what he dreamt for

Will I see you on the other side
This wall has grown tall for me to hide
Frightened by all that I have seen
All these memories are killing me
This gun goes in the Zimmerman hole
My soul, it has not been sold
This mind is only mine
But this wall has grown tall over time
