Mind Is Flustered
I'm watching everything slipping away
And I'm just tip toeing around as the dust fades
Hard to display
The things of affection and I'm erecting
A design that'll leave the mind
Wide open and thirsting for wine
Just to hold the hand of a empty time
But back to the script
Before I let my thoughts cause a tempral rift
Because time moving to fast and I ain't make a move that'll help lift
Us to overstand
The aftermath of this nationalist land that causes fear for the life of my kids
Trying to find the motivation for a uff to give
As each new day lives
But my support system is lacking in this
Or maybe I just felt a piece of my hurt constantly being toyed with
Or my head played with
Because the only other thing that comes out is negative
And it's just so tough
Walking thru the roads that's paved by gold
For some other man
God damn
I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack
But I could be the last one that you'll ever have
But scratch that thought
Back to the thought at hand
Trying my best to get on a plan
And receive everything I'm supposed to like it was a repremand
Other than aggression
Or depression
Or wishing for a different complexion
I'm addressing you
Get up on your dean
holding ur own controlling ur home and thoughts in ur dome
Less talking more being on patrol
Put all other emotions on hold
And bundle up because the world out there so cold
And stop trying to postpone
All the succession before opportunity decideds to mess with
Some other
And you be the one holding the bag
So get up off ur ass and get back on track
Get back to the hunger
Get back to being the thunder
A man not only of strength but also of wonder
And since night time causes a lack of slumber
When ur tummy rumbles remember the feeling
Pray more or something as u be star gazing thru the ceiling
Thicken up the flesh of the heart
Be like an onion peeling
Teardrops on other's eyes
Just keep fishing and keep reeling
It'll catch up
But at first it'll be jarring
Hard as hell
And a bit boring
But when it's all over and done
And the Earth is set on me before the sun
You can rest easy knowing u did everything that could be done...peace
