Fourth of July

Finally like the feeling you get when you see the grand finaly on the forth of july
a smile from the deepest void of his endless pit rises
maybe just temporarily but its so complimentary 
to add to his penitentiary 
there aint no guns, clothes, any hoes, or any materialistic jive
just a big black hole in the unknown where he's alone
he calls it home
lately his worlds off its axis 
paying taxes
on the things that he thought would last but never lasted
becoming a victim of the sadness
he never thought he'd dance with

feelin confused, consumed by a tenant he gave a room
he use to keep the key locked up in Pandora's box
and always thought who ever managed to unlock it 
would be the one 
He'd keep in a heart shaped locket

she was his sweetest thing
and he remembers everything
if she believes in what he see's
he'll find a way
