Soul Mining
Epic 25525
Rel. 1983
The sun is high & I'm surrounded by sand
For as far as my eyes can see
I'm strapped into a rockin' chair
With a blanket over my knees
I am a stranger to myself
And nobody knows I'm here
When I looked into my eyes
It wasn't myself I'd seen
But who I've tried to be
I'm thinking of things I'd hoped to forget
I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
And turned all of my friends into enemies
And now the past has returned to haunt me
I'm scared of god And scared of hell
And I'm caving in upon myself
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself

great musicians, these guys moved it all along brilliantly... you can hear them in so many bands of today, and also in the music of true shifters such as pearl jam. must be so flattering. for me uncertain smile is their coup de fuckin gras
