Arriving Undone Towards the Evening
I woke up early in the morning for once in my life
Instead of sleeping in oh so endlessly and feeling sluggishingly anguished
I broke the habits of yesterday’s peace and strife
Just as I have wished...just as I have prayed...no longer feeling languished
I attempted to write a rap song…
Just for the fun of it
Just for the fun of it
I attempted to write it before the dawn
Before I welcome the sun
Before I welcome the sun
In my life...in my life…
The birds in the sky soar and soar hopelessly South from on high
Northern winds keep blowing and the breeze is making my mouth dry
The strangers of the deep walk to and fro in the depths of the unknown
The strangers look at me vacantly as I also walk on my own, but not alone
I accepted reality for what it really is...
Listen and take a seat
Listen and take a seat
I attempted to write my fantasies down
Before the clouds formed
Before the clouds formed
And turned into rain...turned into rain…
The sun is nowhere in sight and it’s a rainfall of delight
It’s a darksome day with the wind blowing all day and night
The stars and moon tonight refuse to shine for me and you
I want to mend everyone’s scars and paint them upon this wall
I resented the fact that you’re gone
Just for the sake of your safety
Just for the sake of your safety
I attempted to write my prayer down
With an upside down frown
With an upside down frown
In this town I call Lake Havasu City
The sun is dimmed and the clouds surround the Earth
It’s a gloomy afternoon in the desert of sprouting mirth
The stars and moon at night refuse to shine for us all
I recommend everyone to be brave and triumphantly stand tall
I stayed at home all day in solitude once more…
Wondering when the storm of loneliness would leave
I strayed away from God’s path and now, I’m sore
Wandering in the realms of oblivion - where I grieve
