Read a web article about a doctor who was petitioning the govt to reclassify the "magic mushroom" as a class 4 drug so he could legally conduct experiments about over-coming depression using psychedelics.
According to Johnson,
His depression was bad,
Didn’t know how to fight
The flashback he had.
Tried marijuana,
Tried alcohol,
Tried hormone boosters
He hit a wall.
Chorus:
He wanted to fly away,
Fly away, fly away
Fly away
Doctors said,
PTSD
Blamed it on the Gulf War
What he’d seen
Nightmares, cold sweats,
intrusive memories,
Strong emotions
Severe anxiety.
Chorus:
Instrumental:
Mindlessly drifting
On MSN
He read a story,
Magic Mushrooms
May help him
He asked around
Didn’t take long
He was ready to fly
All night long
Chorus:
Doctors couldn’t explain it,
Friends couldn’t believe
The change it brought
In the person they see
No more frustrations,
Mellow as can be,
All he needs to do
Is believe.
Chorus:

Really cool idea to spur a song, and the character you create is very tangible and well done. Especially liked the way you ended it! Nice work!
