Letter to Dennis
I was lost in a liquid desert of sin
I’d built a glass house made of whiskey and gin
Squandered all friendships, fortune and fame
Forsaken religion, laid waste my good name.
I just wanted you to know
I’ve finally found my soul
I’m no longer alone
I’m home.
Tell my mother I love her
My sister and brother
They painted the world for me.
Send my father a letter
Wish I’d known him better
Let him know that I am now free.
I just wanted them to feel
Find a way to help them heal
I know love is what’s real
I’m home.
I was lost in a liquid desert of sin
I’d built a glass house made of whiskey and gin
Drowned all my dreams in a sea of regret
Wasted the life I hadn’t lived yet.
Tell my friends that I miss ‘em
Wish I could just kiss ‘em
And return the love that they gave.
Despite all your worst fears
Your words fell on deaf ears
This young heart just wouldn’t be saved.
I just wanted them to see
How sorry I could be
Wish they’d known the real me
I’m home.
I was lost in a liquid desert of sin
I’d built a glass house made of whiskey and gin
And though I’d abandoned my passion and pride
There was always one true friend there by my side.
I just wanted you to hear
I’ve lost all my childish fear
Dear Dennis, I’ll always be near
I’m home.
