Son Rise (From Scenes From Above)
Wave goodbye Tomorrow
Die, drown another victim in yesterdays sorrow
This is goodbye tomorrow
No tides to borrow
So goodbye tomorrow
Yesterday gone, tomorrow not shown
Today just a repetition of a sinners definition
My hopes shattered
How do I cope with my tears and matter
Drooling of fantasy's when you had her
A poor mans paradise
Adversity and no cares about life
Living in hell and loving it
Pivoting through bail and shoving it
Shoulder blades cracked, collar bones crumbled
Older, outdated, fact is to remain humble
Cemetery lust
Post marriage life and fussing is a must
Burning eyelids
Is there even a such thing as baby's dying of SIDDS
Irresponsibility, parent-hood and no agility
Rapper and murderer's
Yall are cursed, so don't even refer to us
I'm blessed with stress, my life's a mess
But for me happiness is only a test
And when you see that sudden glow in my eyes
And the room flow's with goodbyes
It will all come as no surprise
That as I pray for tomorrow
I'll be taken before sunrise
And maybe I'll get to witness again his Son Rise
