I've got many things
on my mind
I might as well
talk to you.
I'm twisted
I'm disturbed
I'm vice ridden
I'm desperate too.
You look okay
I might as well
talk to you.
My life has been spent in shadows
trying to emerge
I've swept the floor
washed the windows
did the dishes too
I guess that is what they call this life.
I've seen the tunnel on one too many codeine
Grandma sent me away
I've gone astray
I blew up my future
behind *******
My children say
I gambled it all away.
One mellows in their old age
No time for anger
No time for drama too.
I've learned to accept myself
Accept you
That testerone
it blows up
it calms down
Sleep it goes way too fast
I wake up to another day.
I've rubbed myself raw
I know what it means to be deranged
I know what it means to long for it too.
You understand.
Don't nod off now
I'm coming to the most interesting part
But I woke up
in another horizon
Woke up on another plain
Another dimension has called my name
This life I now savor.
As you have said
I know it is predictable moves
A complicated game
I never learned to play.
Another opportunity
to prove I'm never
what I'm supposed to be.
I've done the best I could
with what I've got
With that I am at peace
I apologize for everything
I have ever been,
But I am alive
I'm still breathing
have another day to
prove it all again
I've got things on my mind
I might as well talk to you.
