Diving into Ho Chi Minh
“She asked me, ‘Aren’t you exhausted?’ I said, ‘That’s what they make drugs for isn’t it?’ Please don’t judge, I need your love while I’m still in it, vision blurrin’, that’s how I know that I’m feelin’ it, are you hearin’ it? God whispers, guide me to a higher plane, how I came down back to earth and got high again, I done gained nothin’ but pain in this form, I could find warmth, but I stayed in the storm…”
The lyricism, raw and intense, unveils Bas’s journey through self-destruction and redemption.
