Poem
PARALLEL ARE THE RAILS (PRE-VERSE 1) Feeling all alone Cast away like a stone Few friends what I got True friends can’t be bought. (VERSE 1) Living is a joke Think I’m about to choke. Lookin’ at you Lookin’ at me Mirror is true (but the reflection is cracked) False truths won’t set you free. (Pre-Chorus) I got my time I got my rhyme Beggin’ for a dime Beggin’ for your time (Chorus) Bittersweet is the love (Sweeter than the lime) Smellin’ like a clove Burnt up in a stove Rotting in a grove Shrapnel of hardened nails Pouring down like the rain Storing away the parlayed pain Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails (PRE-VERSE 2) Heavy is the stone When you’re all alone Many friends were not what I thought False friends are easily bought (VERSE 2) Drowning in the smoke Deception is no joke Reflection of you Reflection of me Mirror is true (but the reflection is cracked) False truths won’t set you free. (BRIDGE) Dreaded are my locs Dreadful are my thoughts Locked away in my cerebral box Cast away like abandoned lots Got dreadlocks down below my needs Beatles in the sound Help me get around Got hair like my ancestral Swedes Brain damaged by Floyd Brain examined by Freud (PRE-VERSE 3) Can I get a fix Feelin’ a little sick Like when I was six Trippin’ over a stick People like to stare Like I’m some disease But, I don’t care I do as I please (VERSE 3) Ridin’ on a train Lookin’ for a change Freedom from the chain Leaves me feeling strange Lookin’ a little strange Beaten by the chain No time for change Ridin’ on a train (Pre-Chorus) I got my time I got my rhyme Beggin’ for a dime Beggin’ for your time (Chorus) Bittersweet is the love (Sweeter than the lime) Smellin’ like a clove Burnt up in a stove Rotting in a grove Shrapnel of hardened nails Pouring down like the rain Storing away the parlayed pain Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Parallel are the rails Lyricists Inc.
