Untitled SS

"Because cowboys and snakes are my kin"

 

Because I feel volcanoes in my skin

Because I've sinned

Because I want to get in

Because I've already grown...

 

Nature replicates in sets of eight

Deviating ends of the weak and the great

Chemical stew makes memory fail

Chemical brew makes brain inhale

Do the push, take the plunge

Absorb the agony like a sponge

Can't map the contradictions

(Is there truth in fiction?)

Give up the blood and give up the ghost

Reaching out to them that hate you most

Couldn't even reach level two

Divy up the army between red and blue

 

Pieces slowly fitting

But puzzle never solved

Reaching out to nothing

Only one resolve

Listened to a hero's song

'Bout a thousand times

But wisdom never sank in

Too much focus on the rhyme

(Prayed for the night, for the very first time

But night never came

And the rain falls on everyone but me

Cause nature's got a few tricks up her sleeve)

 

Imperfect circles, always imperfect circles

(Autumn angel gets their wings)
