Rising Sun Blues
We are the descendants of the witches they couldn't burn. Our ancestors are always with us. The ghosts of whores long ago still haunt and moan for release from the puritanical, nightmarish state of the world. How do we free them? How else but in self pleasure and in joining their ranks. Only then can we truly understand, only then can we start to heal.
