Is there rehab for a workaholic? I think of it and frolic, forcing little thoughts of my feeble mind to flip and ***** I wish that I could cherish little moments before they're gone And have the verbal verbosity of a love song Long lost in these words ; fire to my c4 Sunset to the sea shore That's my work to me but I see Love through a peephole Tenacity is feeble and my patience is unfaithful I think my money tree must be my rehab Yea, I can sleep when I'm dead In my head I can hear Voices asking me for bread Fantasizing bout my death and how I lived along instead Where's the money, gimme that Cash, credit, bonds and stacks Cash, credit, bonds and stacks wll take away a ***** life. Workaholic

Too good at dying to not live long Too bad at living to never get it wrong Too high to riot, too ****** to breathe Too caught up with words to tell the meaning beneath Too broke for pride, too stubborn for mercy Too grungy to be dapper, too skinny to be **** Too old for small thoughts, too young for big words Too scared to seek clarity, drowning in these words Too lit to blank out, too ***** for long hours Too weak to make an effort to have you in my arms Too late for apologies, **** your assurances just leave the keys at the door

If life taught me anything, it's that dreams come with sacrifices. I had to let go of some bad habits and a couple vices Cos what's worse than bullets that leave your body lifeless? Staying alive with ambitions that don't materialize. Its Pretty funny how some folks fail to realize this And those who do find the process Pretty demoralizing It's pretty easy to look pretty in every picture Changing poses and positions like it's kama sutra I mean, your life isn't fake, you really own it don't ya? But in the place of your dreams, you got some guilty pleasure You swear one day, you'll change and grow But first let's cop that new iphone; "Versace Versace, **** I'm glowing" "No plan B, this is all I know"

"Is it worth it?" "Did I put enough work in?" "Will they love it?" I ask myself after every piece of art every attempt at greatness After all, every great artist ever worked this hard so why? why does desolation resonate with me? Why do I retire to an empty room? If she can't be mine then really, "Is it worth it?" "Did I put enough work in?" "Will she love me?"

Half born half hatched so wings sprout from my back's arch The sky is a calling, not a limit Is the ground a feeding point for winners? Fly

May the things we say never haunt us May the ones we love never wrong us And if we do, that they forgive us We Pray

Soon the moon will attest to your beauty and the sun rays'll make sure you never spend a minute moody Apocalyptic, mystic feelings cloud your shrewd mind Thinking yourself a human, not a god Your feisty tenderness, discerning insanity Revolting attractiveness, imperfect perfection All the things I love about you All or nothing I ask Love me undying or hate me endlessly Cos anything in between will be too strenuous for my brittle heart

My obsession with her is such a clear menace To serenity, hormones are all over the place I see her fiery soul... I see her fiery soul. My intuition is battling all my inhibition "Abort the mission", she's battling with her indecision I see her fiery soul... I see her fiery soul. They say innocence lost is never retained It's deeper than lust, it's pleasure and pain My brain says I should slowly refrain, my heart tells me I can do it again It's Fvckd up

I don't know how much you miss me but lately it feels like we're missing the point And I don't know how much you love me but love is so distant when we're far from us And I know just how much you hate me for leaving home even though I did it for us If you knew just how bad I crave you, you probably won't be mad at all ... but I got you I don't know how much you miss me but lately it feels like we're missing the point
