Cold Facts

COLD FACTS Sip from the flask of your greed The poison you drink is what you need down inside internally you bleed See these words where they lead I am familiar with wounds and pain Opened and oozing again and again The suture ripped open could not contain The blood pours soured from my vein You check on me see my page Tired of your prison and your cage Let’s trade horrors and our rage And stare down the barrel of that gauge Let’s me and you take a walk You go first then I’ll talk Share deadly sins outlined in chalk Ready to share to everyone’s shock? I’ve tried the whiskey and the wine I’ve tried the Bible and His Devine I’ve tried prayer and the fitness shrine But still I come up short to the goal line What really feels good to manage the stress Is rubbing it out on girls who undress I prefer not to smoke my lungs are a mess Man oh my sins are in extreme excess Good at the faking and playing the part a high paid actor on the screen it’s art Everyone portrays who they aren’t Deception and deceiving to out smart Does this brash and coarse verse offend? Have you not all along been living this trend? Are you seriously denying to pretend? Your attention I’ve caught and will apprehend. It’s a lot easier to just be honest That grab on your heart is the strongest Pulling you back into the saw dust You egregious eyes thirst full of lust But it’s ok to act real innocent No need to confess or even repent Like a dime waiting on one red cent You’re two faced life is well spent I’ve come to grips with the fall of man Tried to survive and find a clan Tried to adapt and follow a plan But still I’m reminded of the Son of man Weary and burdened and full of debt I try to renew daily my mindset And kill the evil with my bayonet I’m ready here we go get set. You paid the price for all of us In that alone I solemnly trust Even though I fight against with disgust Deep down I know you’ll help you must Help me and deliver me is my cry Wipe away the tears in my eyes Use me in some way with groans and sighs Bring me back to Zion and Sinai By: beardedjarhead
