Feeding Time

There were things I couldn’t talk about and Now I can’t help but talk about it What’s with all the talking around me? Can tell they don’t know nothing about me All they ever did was doubt me I always had my pride but now I stand proudly Even when I was dead lost my thoughts found me I’m over flowing like a fountain I know where the ground is I’m on my way up but never forgetting what down is My past, couldn’t get around it Until I could define it My future, I design it So I never, never mind it Just put brain matter behind it Because everything is decided This close to when I died and Just in time for reviving Silence is the sound of sirens As long as there’s no violence Then it’s all only violins Got to get it how I live But never taught how to live But realized its All on what you pick up from your surroundings And not what you are surrounded in And I understand it pulls and tugs But never to survive or win To surrender is a survivor’s skill But this warrior was born of steel So do what you say or feel Still won’t change my will Not knowing how to drive, still turning the wheel Break or steer Don’t know how far but this car gone make it there They say I’m acting strange and weird I don’t complain because I know they can’t compare This language here, with the way it make them feel If you that fake even this won’t make you real So then they take a pill Because when you that sick, this can only make you ill Now they want to make a negotiate and make a deal When all I am saying is don’t use me to make a meal
