In this room my thoughts deceive me.On the ground they never leave.
Sometimes I thought I was above it.
I admit that I was foolish and there’s no going back. Now this room is my sarcophagus.
No pyramid but mummy’s dead inside.
No fatherhood but time just can’t keep still.
Nothing wrong but shit won’t start right.
This room won’t run its dark inside.
Now this room is my flight so far.
A tomb, I thought, but maniacally wrong.
A fresh start to a new design but no hoods golden and this rooms not mine.
In my mind my thoughts control me.
Nothing left but to be amazing.
But I’m amazed by all the mazes drawn on walls in crayon by kids inside tucked away in cells.
In our rooms we never grow.
In that house we flipped the stash.
Room by room we swept for cash.
Couple cents , street car ride, a taco.
This room forgot to not go wacko, blamo, padded walls won’t tell a story.
Writing words usurps their true glory.
Climb into this hurricane booth, grab those dollars hope they don’t come loose.
Your grasp is all you’ve got when nothings been handed to you.

I learn in my sleep Dreams like I ain’t trying So waked up my mind’s frying Can’t see me from the ground Never knew I’d be flying One day ago I saw a demon face Two days ago I kept my word Three days, Four, life’s a chore Never knew how much I’d miss you Just kidding I fucking hate you and me Me is more mad than that bad lad Bagged beef I own this land Shots fired falling out the sky no landing Angels come and go and crash into LA Culling herds across the plains Poor native Americans they’re blessings You ain’t tribe you corporate Fuck what you heard I’m loyal If bitches were cell bars Loves my conviction This jail is our matrimony Don’t shank me in the yard I’m sorry
Walked out into the middle of a field smoking Collapsed to the ground in the sun I knew I was done Lots of green grass in my memories when did I become me All around it’s too familiar the price of a home town hero What’s worse lies or greed some people need both to say the least Sirens beckon me overboard and the water looks better anyways Suns in my eye as I put in eye drops The blue sky fades to black Endlessly congested with snot the universe blows it all apart
