[breathless]

I know I've traveled down this path before, broke, needing a sign
So the hassle is a god damn chore, coke, bleeding in lines
Boy, what I'd give for some relief, choked, freezing but fine
In the heat of my mind speeding, so close to life
Beliefs of things to believe in still eating through this hindsight
Blindly creeping over loose leaves, filtered by these muse schemes
If the ruse seems likely to move me, then why fight?
I'd be better off perusing the off kilter ground than choose streets
Already walked along, talk is strong, but actions are cheaper
Especially when I never really intended this plan to start either
A damaged heart, green where the pastures part the ether
Given hard trials and charred smiles passed your smartest teacher
A darkness breather, blowing the shadows out the water
Down trodden and mad at the bad flow of my father
The plot turns, thicker than this blood could ever congeal to
If I stopped first, I'd be sicker than some who must never conceal truth
