This Ain't Reno Honey

from The Solo Sessions by Joshua Putney

lyrics

As I descended inward towards
A place I'd never been before
I couldn't see you anymore
But I recall exactly what it was I'd done

then it all became so clear to me
I saw the serpent in the apple tree
I took a seat when he invited me
And I ate until my belly had been filled

The light receded darkness crept in
Hounds were howling, the souls were weeping
Knowing what I know I remained seated
And strapped in for one hell of a ride

And I wish that you were here with me
if only just to be my guide
out from this Pit of utter selfishness that I've drowned myself inside

The shadow cast is all that's left of me
The paranoia true and tried
I'd double down if this were Reno honey,
But it's not it's so much hotter you will find

There's a reason everything is different
Colors aren't the same as they used to appear now
All I see is grey light leaking through the pinholes
I used to call my eyes but no longer are they mine
No, no longer are they mine

The shadow cast is all that's left of me
The paranoia true and tried
I'd double down if this were Reno honey,
But it's not it's so much hotter you will find
I asked the first person I passed to check the time
Her watch was stuck on 6 I guess it must have died
