Came to terms with my demons,
We cohabit with reason
Found a solace in nature taking leaves with the seasons
Centered my breath, a minute kept
Send up the beacon
I was down for a moon or two, the stars had me tweaking
Wind came through like Ang was whippin’ it, Yip Yip
Times hands on the dial still ticking, that’s off rip
Yeah I know it’s been a while, went missing
But don’t trip
I’ve been tapping into gold ammunition
The order of the white lotus moves in the dark
Kept my mind in one piece, can’t say the same for my heart
I’ll sort it out in my sleep, high price for relief
My subconscious will handle it
Balance found in release
Cause we got the type of love that runs deep in your bloodstream
The type that outsurvives the blunt trauma of hushed dreams
Reminiscing on what I used to think love means
A cool breeze rustles leaves off of an old tree
Our hearts breathe
I braced for fall
The weight had grown too much for me
And I ain’t as tall as they had all hoped I could be
How is it the world’s been tripping out waiting for me?
No no, safe and sound cause these things just come around
Patient relief
Used to blame others for my insufficiencies
Like the leaves blaming the wind in autumn
Go ahead, light up another cheap thrill
Easy kill to the boredom
Be still let your thoughts find their order
Need change, that’s the way these things go
But it don’t make it easy
Truth bleeds from these poems, you don’t have to believe me
Anxiety’s got us living with that constant fear
Show concern - just enough to keep your conscious clear
Keep them fangs closed here
Blank prose we kept near
Turned to songs we sang for ‘em just to fall on deaf ears
Can’t lie, my pride stung
Kind of thing you outgrow
Kind of thing you try to not let show
Let yourself go and float
Time helps with the cope
Trees bend with the wind
The secret hidden to most
I refocused with a knowledge of self
Came out my baptism soaked
The winds dried left a new found hope
My heart spoke
I braced for fall
The weight had grown too much for me
And I ain’t as tall as they had all hoped I could be
How is it the world’s been tripping out waiting for me?
No no, safe and sound cause these things just come around
Patient relief
