bang, bang.
boom, boom.
ow.
the rifle bullets ripple and tear through the trenches.
bullets riddle my body, it hurts,
quiet literally, I'm in pain.
bullets run out in spurts.
fiery hot bullets rush my chest like a train.
ouch.
bullet ripping, running soldiers,
dodging bayonets, they raid our trench.
we run and hide behind a pile of boulders,
we camp 'til the end; rain downs the camp's drench.
dead.

You say you don’t fear dying alone
But wait till all your regrets eat you up
To the very end
And you’re desperate for an extra breath
To beg for forgiveness
And another breath
to ask to see your kids
And another breath
And the strength
To reach out for our hands
And yet another breath
And even more strength
To cry to us
And say that you love us
But don’t ask for too many breaths
So that you won’t see us
Walk away from you
With no tears in our eyes
Dont ask for too many breaths
Or too much strength
So you won’t see
Or feel us
As we take a big breath of relief
And leave you to die alone
Because you said you wouldn’t
be afraid of that
please
tell me truths
that you hold inside
which no one else has heard
is it greed, to beg for this part of you?
to wish for something no other has had
to want all of you
perhaps, its important to know,
you already have all of me
i dont say this for fairness
and never for the sake of trade
it is more than that
hold it as safety, as promise
you already have all of me
and i only want to give you more
i dont ask for the purpose of return
and as i lay against you by the river,
pressed by the cold and dark,
but warmed by your stars and shaky laughs
i just want to say
through each orbit and rotation
im here, and i always will be
Need a boss Need a jerk
Need something to make your ass
Get up and work
I can inspire you for sure
But I refuse to retire you
I refuse now dont ask me how
Dont ask me too many times
I dont wanna change my mind
But your so strong with my rhymes
Yust just 3 times sicker than the rest
Ill put on my best to go to town
I think I know you now
I think I know how it goes down
I think I know things you nowMaybe I do Maybe I dont
Maybe that just the way it goes
Maybe back in my Hay Day
Back at the party at the motel 6
Well leave the light on
Well keep up the lighter switch baby
Well ditch the relief and relive it in disbelief baby
Missbehaving, never live like a slave
Always swim on the reef baby
Causing were just finding reno,
I bet we find las vegas
No sense Begging us
We already give it all up for rap
We already see no fiucks
And give even less than that
Im like let me in the cage
I see the slave, but im up to bat
I got a few choice words for that
Ill see you at the Christmas shack
Ill Play santa and You play the bay thats got back
And Ill play the baby thats not afraid of that
You need a beat you better call dre
Im using my beats like all day
Everybody wants to know
how Im feeling today
the reason i have not answered
Is because i have nothing nice to say
Dont ask me the question
you dont really want to know
you just need entertainment
and my life is not your show
you want a reaction
so you say some stupid stuff
you are playing with fire
how easily you forget
you created this monster
now you surprised at what i have become
aint you so proud
Look what you have done
I had the beast burried away
so nobody would get hurt
but you found the grave
and dug up all the dirt.
Now you are mad
You didnt like what I had to say
I gave you a chance
You should have walked away
Dont ever ask me... Now!
Where am I? Now!
I won't answer your question...now,
All I can say... I'm on a pilgrimage...
Dont you know?
I said it to you twice,
It's my healing year,
I took it without any consultation,
I'm free! You know,
To choose my days...
...mouths... Even years.
This year seems special,
Perfect!
For a healing mission,
To disconnect from any dissatisfaction,
I'm on a pilgrimage,
O! You dont know?
What's a pilgrimage,
I will explain this later,
When I come back...
When? I come back?
Dont ask me when... Where... Why?
I'm not ready for your questions,
I don't have those explanations,
Right night! All I can say...
I'm on a pilgrimage,
My journey just began.
Who is he? Who is She? Who is me?
Questions so easily asked, but often frail and weak.
Today i was asked who am I and why?
I had no answer as my brain crashed and my mind fried.
Well you see I am me, Simply put i'm what you see.
I am so unique it would be an insult to label so frivolously
Reputation is something we work on till the day we die.
To expect me to explain when my actions speak aloud is a crime.
I suppose if i were to explain myself in order to entertain.
I'd keep my answer short simple and plain.
With my mind fried and an answer made harder than needed to be
Quietly i mutter I am my actions and the rest is a mystery.
Who am I, and what makes me, Me?
Well dont ask me, just watch and observe carefully.
Why you?
You bring light to the darkness within me
The pain is no more
You bring joy to my bleeding heart
Finally I am alive... again
You bring pleasure to my soul with your laughter
The gray days are over ....I see the sunset...the rising beauty in every day
Why you?
You bring happiness to my emptiness
Why not you?
You see me for who I am and not who you hope me to be
I found real friendship ...love without conditions ...my ride or die
You give me freedom so I can see the open door to always fly freely.
Why you?
Why not you ?
You give me acceptance even with my cracks and bruises ...my imperfections
You are my peace and my new beginning.
I see your innocence and insecurities
I still choose you
The only man I give myself completely
Its emotional torture when you are not next to me
My heart loves you without reasons
So dont ask why I love you because I just do.
I don't need a reason
I will love you in every season for no reason.
Here I am. Oh don’t you cry.
I’m not gone, I’m a butterfly.
I’ve grown my wings and I soar the sky.
I leave a gentle breeze as I’m passing by.
Oh don’t you cry. Don’t you cry.
Here I am. Oh don’t you cry.
I can see the sadness, in your eyes.
I’ve found my way. My colours bright.
I’m a star that’s shining in the night.
Oh don’t you cry. Don’t you cry.
Here I am. Oh don’t you cry.
You can find me when you close your eyes.
I’ll be waiting there, to feel your love.
And I’ll send some back with a thousand doves.
Oh don’t you cry. Oh Don’t you cry.
Here I am. Oh don’t you cry.
Don’t be afraid and dont ask why.
I’m not gone. I’m still nearby.
We will meet again on the other side.
Oh don’t you cry. Oh don’t you cry.
Her world has sunk around her, shes clawed her way from hell. The life that lived within her died. Now shes just a shell.
The spark of hope has been denied, her aura is now black. From what i see, but dont ask me. Shes never coming back.
The shelter that has covered her , is ruble on the ground. Amongst this sad catastrophe the answers wont be found.
The battleground eats her up. Her life will not be spared. The unjust ruling bittersweet has finally been declared.
As fate stirs up the last remains, a tear rolls from her eye. Karma isnt playing nice if she has to rectify.

There's a limit to my kindness
How far are you willing to make me go?
Dont ask me again for second chances
You've dealt the cruelest blow!
I'm done with all your arguments
M done with all your grief
Im done with you completely
I'm so angry as I seethe!!
Don't think that I will break down
Don't think that I will cry
For Ive lived so long in denial
And it'll take more for me to die!!
You've lost me now you've cheated me
I was fair and food to you
But that was wasted on your arrogance
And what you put me through!
But don't think Im going to hate you
For I won't dwell on you at all
For you'll meet your fate one day to come
And your fate is your downfall.

Some questions make you knowing,
More and more questions annoying!
Jack's wife looked in the mirror and asked
Does this dress make my ass look too fat?
To her chagrin
He said Yes with a grin
But at least you’re not blind like a bat
All the neon lights at sight
Wont fill the void in your bed
Im the void
All your marxisms stand corrected
The anarchists rejected
Will your sullen doctrines console you at nignt?
Weather the storms , joan
Cannot withstand solitude?
But The buendías can
Recall your faze , your pop culture phase
Modern artists , french new wave
Our youth was a maze
Albeit as not as bleak as our present
The Scandinavian weathercasts that daily swallow us
You were never a Hamlet , Orpheus
I was never an Eurydice ,
but rather an Ophelia
Hey nonny , nonny
I spread the flowers on my grave
They way i always did since birth
The sun also rises but im eclipsing
Elapsing
Collapsing
Help me ,Hemingway
Where do our saviors vanish
When we dont ask to be left be ?
With Broken Wings ~ angels can not fly free
Dont ask how seriously
Always support a friend
