lyrics

Verse 1
Myrna Summer singing of a day uncloudy
Grounds me when I can’t escape what hounds me
Brow beats so I can’t sleep soundly
Feeling walls crowd me I wanna scream loudly
Plenty plainly claimed that He would change me
My will gave free yet I’m still the same me
Torn mind not as giddy ‘bout the Lord’s side
Shotgun seated being driven through a storm’s eye
My many cracks concealed with chronic laughter
Have people gassed they feel I got it mastered
But on the real man I kneel at night and
Appeal for might just so I can deal with life
Look, fixed is my fight so I dig my spikes
I’m on the battlefield, won’t strip my stripes
But everyday feeling more like, yo whatever
Loose are the threads keeping my mind sewn together and yo

Chorus
Would give anything just to lie with
Peace of mind when I shut my eyelids
Seek divine revelation I did
But still it seems to escape from my grips x 2

Verse 2
I'm realizing that life really isn’t
As short as we say, just a cliché we be spittin’ to
Give ourselves license to act the trifest
Snatch, grab from fightless; backstab and knife twist
Folk I was cool with proved I never knew them
But due to them can now better choose friends
It’s why my circle looks more like a period
Serious, leeriness shields me from curious
Jaw jackers, fraud actors, heart snappers
Dart past ya wouldn’t give a thought after
Slick, get wits with vampire traits
Who will bleed you then leave you in dire straits
I try to take solace in the fact that one’s acts
Will ultimately cause something equal to come back
Consider iggin’ folks callousness try to muster
But gut won’t let it feeling more like a sucker, yo

Chorus

Verse 3
Long for when I played with, wrestling figures and
Robots that could shape shift away in the basement
Glued to the tube my brother sitting adjacent
Ball in the street, drawing on sheets everyday spent
When life seemed to be oh so basic
Wasn’t timing when folks who show both faces
Writing with hopes to blow showcases
While trying to float on low gross wages
Sore backed yet I'm burdened with more hats
I'm trying to find the line between servant and doormat
And a way to say no guilt free
Which is contrary to the way that God built me
That’s why I don’t mourn the dead I envy ‘em
We gotta endure hell just to get freedom
Thus to die is gain no more will I writhe in pain
Or sigh in vain the prize is claimed, but 'til then

Chorus
