Release To Elsewhere

Looking at the blood on my hands
and the stain on my shirt
A lil' liquor in my system
and my head sure hurt
Yeah, my head sure hurt

He lies in the open field,
lifeless.
Unknowing that his gift has been
stripped of him like a baby with its blanket.
Ever so scared.
We all are a part of the bigger picture,
aren't we?
On display like a museum, transparent
as the turquoise colored waters of the
lake I stand before
And as hopeless and terrified as
a lone gazelle among a herd of famished lions.
They teach us to be mindless sheep
among the heartless scoundrels that set us up to fail
only to purposely fall into the hand
They've intentionally dealt for us.
But not me.

Another person passed
Another story untold
Another lie unwrapped
Another person who folds
Another person bashed
Another one turns cold
Another spell cast
Another person finds gold
The system ain't working
The system's too corrupt
The people ain't curving
The government is fucked
Damaging our trust
Our imagery of love
Is now disintegrated dust
So what?

Looking at the love in my fam
And the pain in my worth
A lil' wiser in my mind
I will elevate above these shallow grounds
To break away from any lingering curse

I am as beautiful as the seaweed roller coasters
Dancing on the ocean floors
I am as ugly as the devil shaped bullets
That pierce through our enemies skin
And strip their bodies of the life given to them
We all have light and darkness
The lights just harder to find
