Analysis of Soul Transistor
Scott Felgner 1979 (Ridgewood, New Jersey)
I hear the whispers in the other room
I see the lies behind your eyes
I wander, lost underneath the forever skies
My stone heart helps my soul to die
I don’t want to breathe the air
If it’s from the world you live in
My pain is overshadowed by your silver spoon needs
My sanity walks away
My twisted soul remains
