My mind erodes like the paint
Faded out by the sun
Showing no restraint
When I descend in emotions
I push hard the envelope
With the change of the wind
I've lost all shred of hope
Still, I stand up again
My heart is the fire
I need to get my guard up
Ride it down to the wire
Got to prove that I'm tough
Hanging on to what's next
Letting go of what was
Get it all off my chest
Knockin' down the facades
Gonna start me a war
Wind it up and lets go
That's what we're here for
Stick around for the show

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
