Unnerving Nirvana (Or Momentary Reprieve)

Inspired by: Toilet Tisha by OutKast Spaced out Brain out In space Checkin stardust My timewaste is Just a journey to the center of my soul With the far reaches as my goal And the cold wastes as my place of solace Feelin soulless Pacin in my brain Shy away from sane My plane doesn't fly It hydroplanes on to other planes of existance With no assistance Sliding on a rainy runway It's a jetplane with a runaway Who close his mouth When he's got the most to say But not enough hope to pray He implodes A black hole That warps him Warms him Like frostbite Deadeyed all night But he's never felt more alive Lost in the thoughts of another life Based barely in reality Impressionism over realism Is it really healin him or killin him? That's the question of the hour Sittin in the head till it spoils Goin sour Green eggs and ham With a side of sacrificial lamb And extra power Now imagination junkie's Feelin weak as his soul slowly Drifts back Drips back In to his irises To the land of the living While sipping with Osirises Feeling riotous While his lips split Dry with the taint Of the fountain of youth Sittin there rotting away Without use Tryna meditate without medication Racing to slow down Before the "Why?" in the road Cuz once he gets there He knows He'll never know
