Timely Expressions (From My Secret Sin)

Time don’t smile I accept with open arms The hardships wished upon this child Time won’t smile Scars for souvenirs Symptoms of a lonely mans mile Time don’t smile My senior year nearly lost I promise it’s everything but false Generosity of a kind mans heart Sacrificed happiness remaining the cost Two wrongs don’t make a right Yet I put two negatives together And on the other end of the equation I saw a light No need to become sentimental My misery is all but instrumental After while hope will be widespread I mean continental Speak soft to me mother Let your prayers reach my heart, ever so gentle And out here it ain’t all bad Mistaken guilt for love, what you call sad Internal bleeding Still on my soul eternity is feeding It’s all in good deeds A palm full of trust is all I’m needing LSD, stress , a bit of Hennessey Got me blessed with bad tendencies Why does it seem disaster is so kin to me White roses, Grave yard dozers, and spiritual imposers Has my life at a sudden closure Time won’t smile
