\n FRIENDSHIP<\/font><\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Racing passing thoughts
\n chasing secret sensations,
\n awaken an entrance\u00a0
\n to my visions,
\n keeping my soul alive.
\n To kindred spirits
\n I would share relief,
\n and hold on.<\/p>\n

Shared This Ride From Dusk Till Dawn<\/strong><\/font> <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>Chasing<\/strong><\/font> many <\/font>thoughts<\/font>
\n In a <\/font>racing<\/font> mind
\n Having unique <\/font>sensations<\/font>
\n Since a child I find
\n People passing <\/font>secret<\/font>s
\n Then <\/font>passing<\/font> looks my way
\n Hearing whispers speak
\n Happenings came their way
\n They were unknown enemies
\n Out <\/font>to<\/font> steal my soul
\n Spirits directed their mind
\n I was Ostracized
\n Was their control
\n Dreams, a path, <\/font>a entrance<\/font>
\n At night at bed I sleep
\n <\/font>Awaken<\/font> many times
\n Spirits, threatening <\/font>my visions<\/font> keep
\n <\/font>Keeping my soul alive<\/font>
\n To keep this body shell
\n <\/font>I would<\/font> pray to my Lord God
\n <\/font>And<\/font> <\/font>send <\/font>them to their hell
\n Through life I fight <\/font>these<\/font> spirits<\/font>
\n In my outer <\/font>and<\/font> in my sleep
\n Now I am getting older
\n I am getting weak
\n The pain is getting stronger
\n My thoughts race so fast
\n They speak constant
\n More louder than the past
\n Knowledge, of my disease, I know of today
\n Gives me sense of <\/font>relief<\/font>
\n Of all of the torrid days
\n Now.. a child <\/font>kindred<\/font> to my soul
\n Shares this Ride more out of control
\n I will not dismiss my soul
\n His will to be HIS LIFE!
\n I will live to protect him
\n To guide his mind of strife
\n To be that needed shoulder
\n Hold him down in violent rage
\n Share the many tears
\n The voices, dreams paranoid stage!
\n To ride our mind-made roller-coaster
\n Pray we both<\/font> hold on!!<\/font>
\n Remember The War is the Lords
\n Say our prayer
\n from
\n Dusk till Dawn!
\n <\/font>
