I Wake

Wake up just to push it to the edge
Ain't Putting it to bed
They never would've guessed
That settling for less
Would've got him wanting more
I need more highs like a bullet to the head
Like a blade to the back now
Fade to background
Changing my ways woulda' couldas' should've left but they didn't
Getting obsessed with the sinning
Shit isn't blessed unless the stress gets hidden
All the checks collected get spent on living
Like
Death isn't my
Biggest fear and My
Flesh isn't mine
Head spinning left in a mess thinking why
Haven't I stayed clean since eighteen my brains needed
Some sort of escape from the absence of daydreams
That didn't save me
Crash landed it's back to the
daily struggle
Thought it would've made me humble
But now when I show up to show it ain't for regular dough know they better pay me double
Just so I can blow it in the same week
Can't change me
Everything they say means fuck all
That may mean trouble
Can't make me cut all
My ties to highs, I crave the knots
I crave the can'ts
And I crave the stops
And I aim to fly
And I wait to drop like

I wake up after a long night take another two kips
Wake up again and I count my change
Go about my day like I'm playing with a cue-stick
Bumps of the 8 ball take another two hits
CD case I ain't playing no music
Who needs tunes when I only tune into
Sound of my own voice
Hate the acoustics
Head so big hear the karmic echos
The calmest fellow
Abrasive confused and it all makes sense just in case you lose it
Padded brain cells no space to move it
Ain't too difficult remaining complacent when faced with the hatred that plagues you
Who gives two shits bout the pain they make do with
The cage the cage it makes bruises
I hate to say they won't fade away I guess an eighth a day remains useless
Tryna' make a great escape I ain't clueless
But let's call a spade a spade I made a grave mistake the day I traded sane for abusive
Strange fruit and frayed nooses
Strange juice the pain oozes
I guess I'm afraid to face truth
I stay hard-headed and aim to breakthrough this
