I am patient and cold like the sea

I am patient and cold like you and me

I am patient and cold like the sea

I am patient and cold like the bumblebee



The bumblebee went out to sea

To fish a shell

But instead it just dropped dead

And went straight to hell



I am patient and cold like the sea

I am patient and cold like you and me

I am patient and cold like the sea

I am patient and cold like the key



The key is more than a key

It wants to find control

But after time it lost its chime

And fell into a black hole



I am patient and cold like the sea

I am patient and cold like you and me

I am patient and cold like the sea

I am patient and cold like the sea



The sea wants to be

Something more

But on the way it swam astray

And gulped its core

And now it is no more



I am patient and cold like something no more

I am patient and cold like you and me

I am patient and cold like something no more

I am patient and cold like you and me



You and me flew a tree

Up nowhere

But it crashed and you gashed

And left like despair

And now you’re not there



I am patient and cold like something no more

I am patient and cold like you’re not there and me

I am patient and cold like something no more

I am patient and cold like you’re not there and me
baby our love has gone cold
cold cold cold
so
so
cold

our love isn't as warm
as  it once used to be
our love has become
a wasteland of misery
our love vanished
into the sky's grey pall
our love no more floats
on a rhapsodic ball

baby our love has gone cold
cold cold cold
so
so
cold

our love crumbled into pieces
and broke apart
our love lies in the ruins
of my heart
our love wasn't meant
to be an enduring meld
our love is now
a sad unattached weld

baby our love has gone cold
cold cold cold
so
so
cold

our love didn't hold
as a tight twine
our love perished
on a withering vine
our love lost its
bright kindling fire
our love's but a
doleful mire

baby our love has gone cold
cold cold cold
so
so
cold
Hot/Cold, Part 2

Hot endings, cold starts.
Hot feelings, cold marks.

Hot double barrel with cold pump action.
Hot church with a cold congregation.
Hot merch with cold affiliations.
Hot meat, cold wine.
Hot dollar, cold dime.
Hot queens with their cold mink.
Hot kings with their cold links.
Hot art with cold reception.
Hot mirror and a cold reflection.
Hot woman with a cold reputation.
Hot main chick with a cold side on placement.
Hot funk and cold R&B.;
Hot world but the colds all I see.
Hot information, cold intelligence.
Hot faults, then cold recompense.
Hot forgiveness, cold mistakes.
Regardless of what the world intakes.
Hot ignorance and cold oblivion,
are bliss to those who favour dominion.
Hot pathogens and cold diseases.
Hot gold with the cold diamond pieces.
Hot gat within a cold Gucci belt.
Hot knife inside the skin it starts to melt.
Hot love for God and the cold religion.
Hot pain after a cold circumcision.
Hot skin, cold whip.
Hot hands, cold grip.
Hot city, cold ghetto.
Hot calls, but no memo.
Hot rapper with no demo.
Hot baller with no c-notes.
Hot thoughts, cold emotions.
Hot theories and cold notions.
Hot models with their cold body motions.
Hot love before the warm heart ceases.
Hot hatred 'fore the cold heart seizes.
they say,
but I feel like I already did,
I still paint,
still write,
still speak,
still read,
but I think I lost at least a part of me,
the stable part,
the stronger one,
replaced by a void,
that leaves space for uncertainty,
anxiety,
panic,
a lingering silence,
that's tainted by sadness.

What do you do
When the pain in your head
becomes too much?
Threatens to explode
and harm everyone around
Can’t contain it anymore
Losing grip
Going out of control
One misstep and
It will come crashing down.
I questioned why criminals aren’t punished
And this is what they say,
I was told they only have their freedom taken away ,
For we are not to judge they say
We have to respect one another
No matter what they’ve done!
Will they ever learn
To respect us too
I haven’t got a clue!
But some do!

I worked in a prison as a nurse
No it wasn’t really a curse
I showed my respect
Didn’t ask what they had done
We all got on delightfully
In fact it really was quite fun!
I conceal the brightest parts of myself, as if they’ve lost their worth
