Bloody Ink We Die For

You don’t need it The sun is better Feed yourself by any means Because her flawless skin is softer Walk The smell of fresh leaves is more divine Don’t worry You don’t need it Santa will give you your presents No matter how stale they may be But it drives you to insanity My thoughts are always on the last grape See the finish line Now you need it? Stress drives you into a wall with black bricks Paint your own And spend them foolishly Because you can’t buy enough water to finish this race Why are you so materialistic? And why do you consume me oh so much? Like the vermin in my drainpipe Clingy The sky is brighter And the moon is cozier And blankets you can steal And food you can make Sharpen your spear and delete your texts Wear a tie with no suit and no shirt and no pants And leave to the beaches, forests and deserts It will come with you, But not for long Forget And pray they will forgive When They find you and question your way of existence Ask them how important It is Silent reply Tells you it means the world to them The only thing that matters More than little Matt’s soccer game or first A+ So grab your bag And disappear into soil from which you came You are no longer in pain, stress or anxiety You are not corrupt or hungry for hate Without It The one who determines where you stand Sit back Relax And breath the air you needn’t pay for
