But I don't feel like no one can treat me any way except you. Youre the only one who knows....Yes I always rode on your faith and your truth. As soon as you went inside I was without any of my own. Oh yes some but it was still yours. Is the holy ghost the though released by JC this time in 67?...Once in the woods I laid in the bushes and I let the bugs crawl on me and the felt kind of nice and nothing bit me. I was on acid....'
