Sunlight - John Doe

Dirty little arms

dirt little handss

soelaces untied

zipper broken

warrmblooded horse

redhaireed kid

he trusted her

his dad never did

like summer fog

his mom checked out

his uncle bill

always hanging around.

but all he ever wanted

was a little patch of sun

all he ever wanted

was a little patch of sunlight

he tried to freeze in the Air Force

at 22 he changed his name

he tried to suffocate in a Hollywood bed

he tried to starve in a LA barroom

he tried to bury all his words w/ words
