Finally found a pen to write to you
trying to make it simple but its feelin' like a haiku
no peace when you feel that your being lied to

intricate cuts run deep like the bayou
so lost, but i wouldn't redirect it
take a quick drink, fade out, now im a skeptic

the other side was bright, but the night it aint' neglected
you thought it was a tragedy, but boy it is an epic


Ah, and the show goes on,
use your mind for shelter when you livin' in a storm
devil in his sunday best he just sanded down the horns

and the rose was never red, til' he stabbed you with the thorns
damn, i wish there was an easy way
worried bout tomorrow but most people livin' day to day

forget the bottom, on my grind i need a new clutch
they're waiting for a fall and im just waiting for a come up


Verse -2
Thinkin' i should probably talk to him
thought i had no air, but now he's sleeping on the oxygen

life is getting real, realer than its ever, ever been
friends are gettin' fake someone brought the plastic surgeon in
things change and go through re- alignment,

im sittin' in class missing all the $$#ignments
the problems there, but i aint gettin' the arithmetic
frustrations takin' over, fill my mind with the explicitives

and keep sippin' %#@!, i feel it seeping into me
i been off the radar,and its probably where im sposed' to be
still i got that tree, its rooted through the cement,

tired of being broke, i'd sell my soul to pay em' one cent
wont get it back, but this my sense of urgency
strip me to the core, put it out there for them all to see,

im young and im reckless, but sick of the excuses
i'll show em' i aint' useless, grow some wings and ima do this
