YOU SAVE ME FROM MYSELF

about

My friend, Sam Pierce, spoke to me at Doyles years back when he was 14. He said he wanted to write me letters. We sort of on and off corresponded while he took not less than 7 high schools across the USA to graduate. He has since become a lawyer and a Dad with 2 awesome sons and a great artist wife. Knowing him back then (in a way) saved my ass when I was blue. I don't have a picture of him, so will use this back porch Christmas Tree shot with Jeila's Farzaneh's painting in the background.

lyrics

YOU SAVE ME FROM MYSELF

you save me from myself
you hear my cry for help
you don’t panic
you don’t come run-in’
but you are real

i appear
to be so strong
but i’ve been alone too long
an ol story
a broken
a queen’s torch song

ridin on a subway
sittin on a bus
standin on a corner
not sure who t trust
stare at all the weirdos
my brain is outa whack
missing you
missing you
missing you

you save me from myself
you hear my cry for help
you don’t panic
you don’t come run-in’
but you are real

around you i feel high
like a cloud in a brilliant sky
it’s so easy
it’s inevitable
it’s for real

2 kids in a parking lot
everyone’s gone home
they stink like hell
they laugh a lot
2 swords sun a stone
they kew each other right away
they shook hands in a dream
that’s you n me
you n me
you n me

you save me
you save me
you save me
from myself
