Ignorance Is Bliss

standin on a corner he looks up to the sky his phone rings as he steps into his ride no time to think when it rings its because do's on the other side red and blue panicked, frozen like a mannequin flashing lights he catches on the other side of his panaoramic view wondering if its for him then realize it just the paramedics crew heading to what'll never make it on the 11' o clock news paranoid wonderin if he ever got caught by the blue, what he would do like i siad no time for that, rent to pay with nothing on the dinner plate this time next week, he just may be sleeping in his back seat. no one to comfort but southern comfort good guy just on the wrong side misguided when life put him on the sideline no one to guide him right but his mind while he walked on the wild side of the life many choose not to sight turn a blind eye to what they dont see as right, but i guess thats just life a pool of water overflows the bath tub because his own foot covers the drain you paved what you walk on today if you ever wanna live better dont be the reason why your seasons never change seeing nothing but rain in his plain consumed by the pain that rarely escapes from him an apiphany hits him a bit delayed but soon to be appraised he wants out but never knew how he tryed callin his father but that man diddnt even bother he never really fathered him to begin with. so it really wasnt something he cared to level with learned his lesson, way back when your just getting the message considering how long its been he thought redemption would have been ready for collection still theres a long way to go aint it beautiful? how bliss ignorance is? remembering the time he showed his report card to his mother and how happy she was tellin him he was bound for anything he set his sights on but to always tell right from wong at that moment. curtains closing its 3am witching hour for the superstitious but an hour of power for a man to put stitches to his scars pick himself up off the ground head to the lost and found just to find everything that made him who he was before what is now ignorance is bliss an he knows that now
