i have to admit
i get lonely sometimes
call it escapim
into rain of black and white
i know others do
i know others do
call it the stress
just under the surface
i know if it boils over
it won't be evaporating
i need a release
to bring harmony and peace
to be perfectly truthful
in all possibilties
i'm more then content
in a maintained state of meloncholoy
my therapist said
throw my drugs out the window
they could sprout wings
and get high by themselves
the cruntch of the leaves
and this cold forsaken breeze
leaves with a lack
of everything reassuring
if i could take it away
fastforward to a different time week and day
i just pray,
the blood in me would
how to be content
when you're letting go
i trust just too much,
but what can i say?
old habits die hard
how could i live if i weren't on display?
it's in the art of knowing
and the high skill of showing
tact and wise caution
when dealing with matters of the heart
i spilled your perfume today
it was on the glass tray
on my black wire vanity
thrused through my bones and hanging off of me
i'm a black child i am
except for when it rains
rain changes everything
so nothing's the same
the books beside my bed,
are the ones in years i've never read
i don't know what the authours said
or did
oh, but if the stress don't dissapate
what tool would i have to relate
to the rest of this broken world
and the people crying out?
maybe youll relate to me
with all the things you cannot see
darling how can you see me
when i hide me from myself?
it's a question i haven't asked in years
it could burn me to the core
there's nothing in my life
i won't know the meaning for
