In another life

In another life I’d be there

Kissing the acrid thc

My frozen feet held tight

Caution to the wind

With a guitar in hand

In another life I’d be there

Free to be me

Wild and expressive

Maybe I’d write more than just trash

In another life

I wouldn’t think about consequence

I’d drink and fuck til the sun came up

And then I’d do it again

In this other life

I’d have a lover who could be

Just that

And break these binding chains

Which hold me back

In another life

I’d care what no one thought

Not even my own conscience

I’d be impulsive

But I’d be me

This other life

It’d be the best thing that I ever did

This other is just an illusion

A dream for me

I’ll always know

It could have been reality
