he was adrift in the nightline  searching for something to ground him in this world  future and past, no more lifeline  then he felt the touch and the power of this girl     she was a light in the darkness  she drew designs of unspeakable power  the ink running into the soul now  the body a canvas her visions empowered     the patterns of life were injected   into his skin with a consummate grace  until vital signs were detected  it started the journey, it ended his place     he was a slave to the needle  he learned to love this impeccable pain  the door that was opened was vision  the lines that were crossed would show him the way    these lyrics are submitted by Cyrus Rhodes
