Hello, my name is Zack Katz. I've written a new song, and I'd like to have it critiqued.

The song was inspired by a discussion that I had about whether drugs tap into a vein of existance that allows a preview of the afterlife. It's also about suicide in the face of addiction. It is a new style of song writing for me, and an evolution.

The song features cascading organs, a hypnotic beat, and dark, foreboding lyrics.

One Drug (Closer)

I would appreciate it if people would review this, and my other songs.

Thanks!
-Zack

One Drug (Closer)

trees become a wall of motion
drawing shadows with the headlights on
my future is always weaving
i don't know how long until it's done

the cadence of the needle's march
pushing ninety, and wrapping thread
groping for a rung of the ladder
one drug closer to heaven
one drug closer to heaven

sometimes when i drive at night
the white lines sing soft lullabyes
an ocean song; the waves of travel
calling, guiding me to a rocky shore
one drug closer to heaven (one drug closer)
one drug closer to heaven (one drug closer)

wearing autumn colors, she says
"one more leaf and it is winter"
one more love, and i am lost
