Dirty Laundry

My clothes smell like the green grass
I wash and watch and watch time pass

Another dollar spent
No time to repent

Heaven sent but hell bound
Hell no dont make a sound

More flames seen in my eyes
This gin tastes like the skies

More truth unspoken
This ash is smoking

Still in a way I'm hoping
But for now,

This light im toking 
Passing in poverty 

Oh the audacity 
Lights in the city

A pitty.  Sit
Hells pit

Another day washing clothes
Like Dam, only lord knows

So, I continue 
And clean, so new.

Still its these dirty shirts
Thats what hurts the most

One simple wash
It all spins through 

Dirty till Clean
I still miss your smell...
