HIGH HOPES
OJO 2004

The first step is the point of no return
and you will get what you deserve
if you refuse to learn
or even deny completely to understand
that there is great danger involved
in the way of life you choose to live constantly
with pushing the limit to the edge
dreaming of any sort of escape from yourself
and the rest of the world as we know it
is seen through new glasses
and you can slide ahead slowly without any worry
and take a little look at those boring people
while you pass by their amazing eyes
with your amusing kind of style

Wishing wanting dreaming
is there nothing else to do
or is it something that you love
since you keep on scamming yourself
and forget how to live
demanding commanding understanding

The second step will take you where you want to be
at least for a while you want to stay
and so you will get weaker and sicker and more scared
but this is not enough to make you want to change
and so it goes on and on
until you feel that you have to run someplace and hide
but it can be very hard to find a safe place
since you have no close friends or family
or others to go to
because you handled them like nothing good
and now you will get really lost in the big city wood
and your life and future
will look very insecure for a long time

The third step will take you close to death
and maybe you will pass the final line
but that is not for sure
and you will look everywhere for some answers
that can make you understand and give you
a sort of inner peace
since you will feel that your whole life
is a great unbelievable pain
without any way that you can be able to see
how to solve it
before it destroy you totally and completely
without leaving you dead
and you can't find the courage to put a bullet
through your head
because your dream is not yet fulfilled

The fourth step will bring you into a state of mind
where you must admit that you were wrong
but it will take some time before you get strong enough
to even think about changing your life
and only small steps can make you continue
against your goal
because if you get too hasty and act too nasty
it will bring you back to step one
and so it will go on and on for years
maybe for the rest of your life
