half toothless and half truthless
his stubborness can be ruthless
living half a century ago
not up to date with what we currently know
he move's so slow you wonder if he's ever passed go

calls current truths propaganda
he look's for knowledge in outdated memoranda
living in the past because modern days are too fast
a young fellow shouldn't listen unless he wants to end up in last

but he still has some soundness
what he says is sometimes the profoundest
he can make you think twice
and doesn't care if it isn't nice
but he'll still show compassion in his outdated fasion
long lost was his life filled with passion

the young and the old will continue to clash
but it's up to the youth to not act rash
because at one point that old man was like you
so decisive that his convictions were absolutely true
wouldn't the world be perfect if we both only knew

and I try to let go
cuz whether you want it to or not the river's going to flow
I can't stray but I can't stay
like a car crash you hate to see the wreck but can't look away
but you know what they say
you're always safest in the bay
but we aren't made to live that way

I write in the night
the only light from a candle burning
unconcerned with the earning
art is my heart's yearning
imperfectly flawless
like a saint living lawless
picture perfectly incomplete
out of time but in sync with the beat
tired while your resting in a seat

a walking contradiction
like truth mixed with fiction
living with class saying kiss my ***
lay it down like a pick up line
disgustingly unattractive yet oh so fine
yet still glad that these contradiction's aren't only just mine

the simplicity of life
the chills tell me it's right
a mindful match of chess
happiness for a game and forgetting the stress
it's well read like a book
a knight captures a rook
a pawn takes its time just as the king
like muhammad ali doing battle in the ring
complete madness or militant
winners and losers are imminent
at the end it's all glory and fame
and all along it was all just just a game

i'm left feeling tense
on the wrong side of the fence
i try to clear my head
it's impossible, getting over of what's left unsaid
all of the lies and desception
but i'm niave enough to give you the exception
listening and talking obediently needs to stop immediately
i believe i'm finally seeing clearly
i don't mean to be an imposition
but won't question like the inquisition
forget superstitioin, i listen to my intuition
two ends of the spectrum
people are either lazy or crazy
try to play you for a fool
only being used as if you were a tool
since when did that become cool?
you try to be real but in return you get lies
that's why i no longer believe what i see with my eye's
there's been a depletion of the soul
and too much appreciation for ***** coal
the fire needs to start within
and once it's burning they try to put it out like it's a sin
these words only begin to tell where i've been
and at the end of the day it still pains
unless you learn to let go of the reigns
but i can still only look within

Just a thanks
You helped me realize there's more to love than just a pair of pretty eyes
Open or shut, the only thing that matters is the feeling in my gut
How you did it I’ll never know, but I’m grateful ever so
There's no need to act in haste, and pettiness only creates waste
So please pack your sack take that flight and never look back
No self-motivation or interest, I just want to see you do your best
If you only knew, my only wish is for your dreams to come true
Asked if I've ever experienced love, I crookedly smile and say
Why yes, it was beautiful
Thank you
