Endless Process
11/15/22
Regarding my heart, it'll take a lot to fix mine
Rarely do I sip wine
While you can you better live life
Before you're on a bed with an I.V. drip line
Everybody always having a pissing contest
All of you God Bless
My mom stressed
Often telling me that I'm a hot mess
Just because you would doesn't mean I have to settle for a lot less
It's an endless process
I need to work towards progress
By choice I'd rather talk less
They say my lifestyle will be
What kills me
And that I'm the one that's guilty
In a world that's corrupt and filthy
I still see
That nothing changes until we
Accept responsibility
As time ticks on
She said I did this wrong
Realize everything I smoke and sip is strong
Already accepted the fact that I may not live long
A world that struggles to reduce waste
Will it impact our doom date?
People are too strange
With a sudden mood change
Aiming toward the top of the food chain
Got nothing to lose and everything to gain
Energy separates or generates
Let this sink in and resonate
Life continually perpetuates
The cycle has yet to break
Danger always lurks with the potential to decimate
On each other lifeforms feed upon
S*** happens regardless of it being agreed upon
At the edge I continually teeter on
