Unedited

first impressions last longer
lost in the sands of times

last impressions lives forever 

penned in mind's of men

treasured in the rhymes of mines

engraved in the tombs pains

inscribed in the palms of history

tattooed in the art of fame


last impressions

first impressions
last impressions
uneditable
end justifies
the means.

puncture foes fears
broken into pieces of tears

guys we want 'd' dough
but we won't weigh the load
of tomorrow's cold
as in pains unfolds


cuffs round necks
        laced
silver on tooth
       blinks


all for the money
one for the dough
few for the penny

no selections tracks 
all non perfections
these impressions
cold
cos' I know 
I don't know
they live forever

but I won't
am done
even when am gone

Cos' I know if I did been given this
chance again I know I will live
a clean slate

but this impressions last
sure haunted my cast
even in my grave forever
Am gone
