Embrace betrayal tastes stale
Got my face in the mail
Want to find me follow the trials
Follow behind my shadows trail
I live on the hill beside the pale

If the sky flashes deep then leave
Or its lashes with tears, fallen leaves
If ground quakes grey in its ways
Then stay for I have nothing to say
This is the last line anyways

Reality distorts when your in the deep end
Memory it corrupts turning you on son and friend
Know someone for years and one day it ends
I keep it calm on the outside, hate on the inside
In you I will never confide out late to hide
Never been on my side always about your pride

Took care of business when you left state
Went to the corner store and left me to fate
Wonder if abandoning your son gave pause
Not enough to make you stay and wait
That monkey on your back wouldn't wait
Left me at a loss so you could get a taste

And it was your last, was it worth it?
How high was the crash into the last hit
Slash and burn, got dumped by a *****
Now under a bush you live in a ditch
Still none of it on you I would wish
Still love you after all of this

Hate and rage have a claim on me
A sliver of pity is still plain to see
I would burn that whole ****** city
That had taken you away from me
Wanted to see who you were meant to be
But you didn't want to stay with me

That said I would cut your tatted throat
Drop your body watch it ******* float
Leave behind nobody and feel what you felt
Red on cheap velour drips off a leather belt
Shot glasses, pill bottles, in the past they are left

I'm sorry I couldn't help, sorry I wasn't enough
Sorry a sons love wasn't enough
Sorry that love ****** you up
Sorry and sorry again that you ****** up
Worry about how i'm so very like you
Worry one day someone will say sorry to me

Twenty and I see you in me, wants to be free
Saying **** this society and **** this poverty
Drugs and whiskey sour no chance at property
Know the government owns everyone, thats you and me
Not a felon only thing different from you to me really

Only difference I never found love
Never got pills from clinical gloves
Never ****** without rubbers
Never got played and became a debtor
Never became a kids *******

******, ******
Just orders, protect borders
Justice and order, Fixers and sorters
Guts on a camcorder
**** out if you can afford her
**** hotels for the soldiers
Taped and stored in federal folders
Holes in daughters
Blood and *** drips as you hold her
Got questions, torture and water boarders
Doers, leaders, fuhrers
Child soldier bullets go pitter patter, splatter    
Colonial slavers are the industry pavers
Acceptable loss, lawyers and waivers
Watch or ignore it with entertainers
Silver screen lives and liars
Fired and dead reporters
****** in the mortar
So **** your leaders
Or live in hell forever

**** technology **** the progress
Give eulogy's on how its all a must
Your using me and I feel we have regressed
I study I work I made a dollar for twice what makes two
I'm ready I can start tomorrow for half price and die tomorrow
I wanted to do what others do work and get a home
Learned that I will work to the bone
And still have to take a **** loan
I made minimum wage at ******* twentytwo
My skills are trigonometry and construction to name a few
I am used and abused only ever worked to lose
So ******* I got nothing to lose
So ******* lets get some ***** 
Ten an hour to build a house from the ground up
All of my power all of my will and some say I'm stuck up
I'm embarrassed this is my only choice what a set up
My pride a joke my skills left me broke
Of every attempt loss has spoke
Top of the class, high IQ, what a ****** joke
I live in poverty
Rent a ratty property
And die in my poetry

Heels real and imagined grind on my skull
To the hospital at the bridge pay the toll
Rich and territorial start up a poll
For how many poor they will cull

Put on vans with the worn out sole
Head to work and fill my role
Everyday I sell out losin my soul
Getting harder to keep my cool

When everything is ****** life or death
Break a bone lose it all in a breath
Cant afford the upkeep on my teeth
So I hang with friends and smoke leaf

All decay all falling apart losing heart
Calls today say your wasting it your so smart
**** them I dont even know how to start
Writing on the wall saw it on a plummeting chart

Collapse into the past we wont last
The fashion is getting trashed
Faded today tomorrow I'm passed
Curtain called coffins filled with ash

Saw beauty once and someone bought her cash
The city lights are pretty but its a world behind glass
City streets are gritty and you'll get taken with the trash
Acid streaks, empty cars, jump and you won't make a splash

Burn a sedative, grey clouds over my head
Toss and turn, fourteen hours then im outta bed
Ten hours to pretend I'm not dead

Look out to the coast, look out for the ghosts
Its those old posts that will chase you the most
While you make a toast ice cubes and frost
In your glass fine taste kept a high cost
Just tell yourself its worth all that's lost

Faust broke bread at your table
Took your hand and wrote your label
Sable eyes dead but working and able
Job with ties has you working and stable
Odd that its all lies faker than fables
