Learn to Die ft. Innovator
The tears burn my eyes as I learn to die.
I don't know if I'm ready because I've shown I'm petty And only concerned with pride. But the next turn is mine unless my terms denied. I slowly walk through the gate where the serfs reside And I'm surprised that I'm the first to arrive. So I sit down on the clouds to let my nerves subside But I tremble with each little burst of light That surged through the sky. I'm not cursed, am I? Or am I the blessed one who's earned the right To a peaceful existence after my internal fight? I sit calm now watching a bird surf the sky Until it stops in its tracks on a perch up high On the top of a turbulent tide That curves as he rides and he looks not nearly as disturbed as I, "The nerve of this guy." ...But then it happens! I purge my mind Of the worthless lies that's concerned my life And like the bird, I fly to my eternal life. Goodbye. I've learned to die. the shards of glass cut swiftly as they dance pass my exposed skin fast, ripping me from my past. the metal crashed against my knees as I hit the fence the loud sound convinced me I was in the present the blood, evidence of the scene; death imminent the dirt as clouds and the skies an acting pavement I gave in. gravity take my place then lose me... then find me just to misplace me again so I can roll with my present, future, my past tense past whens, wheres n hows, my last sin my fathers will, my mothers gift my siblings and that brotherly rift, all came quick that time I smiled at her and she responded with a grin that same smile my daughter was born with those scorned lips when you caught me with that one bitch my self doubt, and the shoulder that holstered that chip it all came in clips. and as the chips fell I realized I closed my eyes one more memory....learning how to die. |
