Grief
If I could drink my life away,
I would...
If I could smoke my life away,
I should...
I shouldn’t think this way
No, not today...
There’s no point in living this lie, this lie
Or lying in front of your face while high
I’m a truth teller...
I feel like a jailer...
I can’t deny...
I’m feeling high
I’m not shy...
If I try to fly...
There’s no point in lying
There’s no reason to cry
If I did, I would wave goodbye
To dying...to dying...to dying...
I died alive in your arms tonight, night
I died in your arms of delight with might
I’m emotional as heck...this apprehension inside is the ascension of me
I could kiss your neck of tension...if only I could peck away your insanity...vanity...
Attempting to understand love
But, I ate that weed of roving above
Weed of roving that I can’t think of
I am as high as a white and black dove
I am grief-stricken...
Where have you been?
Lost in my silhouetted lullabies
Of your abominable lies...
Sober in shamelessness
No longer in hopelessness
Grief can just get the hell out of my brain
I want to remain sane...sane...sane...
My thoughts go down the drain
I am rinsing away my muse with rain
Sunshine is what I gain
Sunshine is what I gain
So, refrain from driving all of me insane
Focused on freedom
awaiting His kingdom
Lonely as a brazen buck
Living life gives me good luck
I am learning to let go and let live
Nothing left to give...after giving you all of me
Grief-stricken by the lack of craving happiness eventually
A moment in time
Wanders in its prime
And sober in its frame
You wonder why I am the one to blame
The one to blame
The one to blame
The one who came
Undone in your life of strife
All my life
All my life
All my life
Self-control - I face
Patience - I embrace
I have been spiraling, spiraling
Negative thots oh so enthralling
Yet, I’m stuck...
Ran out of luck
In grief..
Give me relief
Somewhere out there,
These pangs of scars are painfully bare
Somehow...
I need His love right now
I’m torn
Oh no, oh no
I’m forlorn
And that is so
I’m sober and I’m sorrowful
A tomorrow would be better than your yesterday
Make the ugly in me beautiful
I don’t want to give in to dismay...oh no, not today
If I could drink my life away,
I would...
If I could smoke my life away,
I should...
I shouldn’t think this way
No, not today...
I say don’t do it, I pray
I’m breaking bit by bit, okay?
I’m suffering and getting worse
I need a tragedy in reverse...
I’m a gift and a curse...
I rehearse a gladness that cures
All negativity -
It’s His love from above
That’s where I rove
What about you?
Do you believe too?
Maybe somebody could set you free
I need someone to rescue me from me
This bitter grief...
Needs your relief...
Now...
Somehow...
Now, I had to let you go
Long ago...long ago...
You were my addiction
My affliction...causing division
It was your mission
To ruin my ambition
And my self-esteem
And I want to scream
Aloud...
In a quiet crowd...
In a quiet town on my own
I guess I was meant to be all alone
