They'Ve Been Sleepin'

8/18/21 This place is no 'Garden of Eden!' For now heart still beatin' Yet bleedin' Struggling to find the meanin' And to make the best of 'freedom' For many seasons Battling with my own demons Hardly ever dreamin' Poorly I've been sleepin' In dark waters, I'm deep in Another bender for a whole week, not just the weekend A different language I'm speakin' Girl why haven't we ever been freakin? I know I can, but can 2 keep it a secret? Stop looking at me like a heathen Honestly, I'm not tweakin' Or creepin' Too many don't know when to just leave it Rude and violent far from decent With power can come corruption wisen up and see it Quick to say another committed treason Sometimes evidence and proof is needed Other times it's mistreatment Shoutout to my sister in Sweden I want her to know what an amazing person she is I'm shining like a beacon In any region It's an accurate thesis Falling to pieces So quick to get even steven Bein' conceited Humans schemin' Constantly beefin' And trying to knock another's teeth in Over nothing or another bad reason Off others often leechin' As well as cheatin' No wonder the lack of cohesion You'd have to see it To believe it I truly mean it I've been fiendin' Constantly chiefin' Dabbin and packing flower making sure to kief it Making sure there's no sun leaf in I always drink and drink it helps temporarily then it displeases Struggling to stop myself once again defeated Haven't yet fully succeeded I've got the strangest feelin' And it's not from geekin' On me they've been sleepin' Until I'm no longer breathin' And my life is depleted I surely hope the mission is completed
