From the End

Desolation blinks steam rises as earth's suffix The omega spoke through chain clanging gravel movement Immorality runs rampant fully disclosed Drug use becomes the norm legalizing blinding And we continue to demoralize morals Mankind walks parting destiny from fear with doubt Time Tasted Today is Today the same as yesterday was I saw my own mistake corrected by prayer From hating this place to wondering why is how Life confined and oppressed at the same time is why To deserve a punishment that can't seem unfair Self love over zealous will exist as no love Move Forward The interrogation was as pointless as sin My face showed zero emotion on that morning Last night was the same as the day before non stop For two years before then I should have remained free And they all loved me but back then love escaped me As sweat moistens theory my face gilds crimson Life free spilled The time was 4:44 when the answer came The change between am and pm was the same Thanking God was not my ritual in times past Music was the oxygen crime was the basis So the crimes I committed explained two faces The good and bad side of y'all in me is just half Silence Failed With Athleticism Through raw talent ignored Like A Haunted Spirit Lives in cracks and crevices As the good that life lost... and left... Life began
