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
