Lyrics:
all my life, searching for the answers biding time, missing the truth living lies, slipping through the back door and i don't know if i can go home no i don't know if i can go home nobody knows what i've done no i don't think they'd understand THOUGH I TRIED TO BE A BETTER MAN THAN I AM it's a long way down and i've licked every bone there's no way out this is my home now i wouldn't know a preacher from the devil and i don't know just where you stand the actions will reveal the man but my story was written in sand you'll never know the end

A professor once highlighted to a class I was attending that a key purpose of literature is to expose the dark side of humanity. Not to glorify it, but to expose it and disassemble and disarm it, thus to defeat it. Likewise, I often like to exaggerate little things I've experienced in order to sort of prove-out the depth of the ugliness. After doing so, reality doesn't look so bad anymore and it's easier to move on with a more positive attitude. It's that cathartic expression thing again. Envisioning sinking into a metaphoric Sarlacc pit or something like that allows one to realize that one is not. Still, any of the introspective types among us has to occasionally ask "how am I doing"? I guess that's what is going on here. The game is not over, and maybe things will turn out alright, yeah?
