Breathing fast, will this last?
these pains seem to grow every minute,
and your face confesses that you feel it too,
you take what you want, and so do I,
so why does it feel like we're still lookin' for a bad guy?
someone to blame for the shame and the pain,
every time I say just go with it, you put your head down, you put your heart out and say see what you killed?
Im not a murderer, its a suicide,
you have nightmares and those horses trample my good intentions,
my grateful ambitions, my blood flow religion,
your like an angel and Im the devil and you were all too willing,
so sell your soul, I promise to keep it safe with all the others I take each and everyday,
rushing light from the speakers these notes have colors just as vivid as your eyes,
tonight I wouldnt want to have anyone else when I start to ride high,
we can dance, they can watch,
you can drink and laugh, they can all want you,
because at the end of it all you leave with me,
we go back home and I set your body free.
As the night rushes by I stop and think,
****, Where would I be right now without your love?
****, Who would I be right now without your touch?
This is real, This thing we share,
This could heal, These words you hear,
I love our time,
I love our rhyme,
Baby you blessed my life with your presence,
You killed my fears with your kisses,
Your my breath, your my dreams,
Your everything about me that I knew I could be,
And all I know is I want you here next me,
Believe me,
This is real,
This love is real.
Black shards of ambition cover this world of right now people,
they drown in sighs of worry over Christmas, and birthdays and races for no good reason,
These mewing children mourn the loss of people they never knew and miss the places that they've never been to.
We prayed no, we prayed someday, we prayed right now and still the hurricanes hit, still the earth rumbles, still the fires burn and still our people go hungry.
The water is running dry, the oil blood of our earth runs dry, love runs dry, stability runs dry.
The children of earth say that this is not good.
But what do children really know about the ancient space they inhabit?
Fear is for sale, plastered on the sides of buildings, screamed from behind pulpits and at press meetings, thrown into entertainment and song and sold at a price we all can afford.
We seek an answer to questions that we manifest on our own.
We want to answer ourselves, to say that we know,
And to solve a puzzle that exist only for ourselves and because of ourselves
There is a comforting thought in the community of others,
The revelation of freedom dwelling in the shared thoughts and feeling of our people always seems to comfort the soul,
Humanity is sharing, is coming together, is the light of new conversation and ideas,
Is confessing experience and thought,
Among the suspension of reason that each new word brings we somehow find ourselves,
We are liberated, and yes even justified in the raw testimony of our convictions.
I am human, our words say,
I am here beside you in time, our very presence screams at the witnesses of our being,
And Yes! I too have seen this reality and am willing to speak the personal truths of my existence!
Oh brotherhood of humanity!
I am! and I know no other way to be!
The music sends shivers through my spine,
My teeth feel like foreign objects in my mouth,
I run my tongue over them, exploring their smooth hard surfaces, as if for the first time,
My head throbs and pulses, I feel the blood running through my veins,
The smallest of lights is brutally piercing to my eyes, and colors seem richer and deeper.
I thought,"If I touched that grass or picked up that flower, its colors would get all over my hands I bet". The thought made me smile, colors are also felt...somehow I knew this to be true.
I can feel every touch, every sensation, more vividly now than at any other time.
I am connected,
I am being.
Electric, Distilled, Blown away Tuesday, Born again beneath your smooth skin and hot breaths upon my face, you stare down at me like some african goddess as you shiver and sway and rotate your hips of salvation upon me, and all my sins are forgiven each time you cry out my name. I need no god, I need no creed, I need no other beliefs as long as I have you to worship, my beautiful redemption, afterwards as we eat fruit, you smile and ask, "Round two?".
straight at the sun and my eyes are going numb,
screaming at the top of my lungs,
im done,
my nerves strewn on digital signs shining down like sweet salvation in release,
lines divided as im stalling cause im bored now,
i cant thrive on ******* empty reasons,
lying down straight back to where i was,
and slipping in my art breaks out and i get lost again,
inhale, inhale, and im on top again, so begin,
vision blurring,
my distant future turning,
i can see that im not this way,
i can see that im not afraid to just be,
break back kid cause its got the motivation,
its up there behind that horizon,
slipping down into the cup and through those spirals across that sacred ground, you drink heavy voodoo poison,
you blow apart your mind and time,
you fly low and feel free, you live in the smile,
power,
you know the power of freedom.
