The End Game

Just when I think
the shit can get no worse,
along comes Dane...
This cat has a story
that puts mine all to shame –
Seems we've walked
a parallel path,
in life, Dane and I,
- tried all the illicit, but
paying the 'cabbie' now,
for the meter
we never stopped...
Yeah, we've seen music
and heard color too...
'Synesthesia' they named it
...we called it a trip
Dane and I, well
we seen Jesus too –
and a ghost or a few –
hell man, it's all the same...
when escape
is the name of the game
always climbing
for the highest high
never wanted to land
...again
we'll fall off early
is the price we'll pay
for not looking down,
see me and Dane,
we lose 'cause we played...
