I recall growing up in Boston most
because when you walk outside
in the winter from a
warm home
your face
stings from the cold

Living in San Diego for a decade
I recall coming outside from
a cool house and my
face being
stung from the heat

Now in Seattle when I go outside
As the day reveals itself
I feel the universe
welcome me
home found me

missing rib
sun burned skin
cracked at the edges
bleeding from within

just another day
boots on the ground
jerusalem cruising
wearin' the crown

plant the seed
blood spills
chill out man!!
prophecy fulfills

sacrifice for all
you get the gist
7 inch spike
straight through
the wrist

confessing sins
much too late*
forgive me father
*unlock the gate
for the one who suffered perfectly

please block my number
when i call to ask for help
you've always been there to save me
and because i'm so lazy
i never learned to help myself

fell down a rabbit hole for a need to explore
thought i hit bottom but found a trap door

so don't respond when i text wassup

this time you can't save me
with your emasculating and
unwavering enabling

so cut me from your cordelette length

for now i must find
my own strength

woke up in a cold sweat flashback
thought it was real for a second

the time you jumped into bed
from the shower
still wet

held me down
as the world fell away
you took me to that place

and i shivered there alone
in a cold sweat flashback

elegant reciprocity
so contradictory
the more i ***** **** up
the more i'm presented with opportunity

i can't back down when it's placed in front of me
i have no voracious ego to feed
alpha male i will never be

the more i fail and subsequently succeed
the more at peace i am with me

and to fear i will never succumb
*when failure is a perfectly acceptable outcome
fear of failure can be crippling make it your partner to become unstoppable, it's a gift to embrace

you could be laying in a gutter on the side of the road
or busted again for all I know

your usual misdemeanor
gets 90 days in the slam
and a fine of a grand
but you haven’t asked for bail as it stands

so maybe you checked in to rehab
either way its 3 squares a day
for you that’s a killer deal

we all know how you love to make fashion statements
but even I’m not sure of orange jumpsuits
*look good with high heels

straight to the edge surpass light speed
full reverse thrusters
tractor beam

money exchanged
souls bought and sold
twist the tourniquet bleeding uncontrolled

satisfy thirst
bringin' the onslaught

don't know better
what they were taught

it's over now the good guys won
final scene moppin' up blood

surrender in droves
white flags wavin'

hands in the air
*these souls need savin'
surrender submit it's all *******
