First Light

Inspired by "First light" 
instrumental.
Green tape instrumentals 
record by Evidence of Dilated 
Peoples.


Plan my escape out the depths 
of inferno
Time wasted as fast as 
cigarettes burning
As a fan of this form of art, 
back in the day
Listened, learnt, wrote a lot & 
I've come to participate 

Tailgate dreams, down the 
highway of life.
Seems to be the only thing 
right.
Roll the dice...   Snake eyes...     
Once again.
Times like these... Feel like 
running low on oxygen.
  
Or maybe that's because my 
lungs are charred.
Need to quit the old habits...  
Get a fresh start.
Easier said, than done. Blaze it 
up in the dark.
When this nicotine seems to be 
sweet as a nectar.

Maybe that's because some 
things don't change
Old habits ... are hard to 
refrain. From.
Dope addicts know exactly 
what I'm talking 'bout
Correct me if I'm wrong but I 
ain't. That's a word of mouth 


Sun climbing up the horizon
With a beautiful view ... 
hypnotizing
1st light... First ray...
Sleepless night. Waiting on a 
new day.


Stand all alone... Surrounded 
by nothing
The quicksands of time shall 
make me suffer
Even in a group of my closest 
friends
Feels like I'm distant & all by 
myself, Oh well

Guess it's just the way it's 
meant to be
Lines cross  & don't go parallel 
eventually 
Or maybe that's because I'm 
just plain strange
But none of us on this planet 
meant to be the same

We loose & gain... obtain & 
conquer...
Then pray for forgiveness 
becoming a monster
When it's too late... We start to 
wonder...
How could've been the other 
way around we ponder 

4:30 in the morning... Wide 
awake
For a breath moment street 
lights darken & fade
With the ground being pulled 
out from under my feet
Similar to waking up out 1st 
stage of the sleep 


Sun climbing up the horizon
With a beautiful view ... 
hypnotizing
1st light... First ray...
Sleepless night. Waiting on a 
new day.
