I've always hated these long good-bye poems |
| [00:13.95] |
If I saw the face of death, it's cause I kissed her with my eyes open |
| [00:17.10] |
Lipstick on my closed funeral casket |
| [00:19.20] |
Asking "what for" like a roman numeral math quiz |
| [00:22.16] |
It's enigmatic, the way a soul can hang-glide |
| [00:24.87] |
In a world of diamonds but remain a pearl like Shanghai |
| [00:27.67] |
I aim jewels at the heads of angels |
| [00:30.05] |
To examine when the gold in their halos became Fool's |
| [00:32.87] |
They played pool with my options for eternity |
| [00:35.59] |
But missed the cue and chose purgatory out courtesy |
| [00:38.42] |
I was seduced to slumber by Serendipity's lips |
| [00:40.98] |
And tied to a swan feather like a rotisserie spit |
| [00:43.75] |
Heaven's on earth and I'm glad that I caught a glimpse |
| [00:46.65] |
Before they lured me to a sea of slaughtered men with water nymphs |
| [00:49.45] |
And it's torturing to think it's like this where the light ends |
| [00:53.61] |
Reminds me of America the way it's run by white men |
| [00:55.22] |
I'm tiptoeing this tempered katana edge |
| [00:57.59] |
When I take the time to wonder what's under the monster's bed |
| [01:00.35] |
These perverts play with feelings while they work nerves |
| [01:03.05] |
And a piece of me is murdered every time I say a curse word? |
| [01:05.76] |
Their land of milk and honey doesn't seem fake |
| [01:08.45] |
Cause they know you couldn't paint it in your wildest dream-scape |
| [01:11.26] |
But on the other side, we can hear our mother's cry |
| [01:13.88] |
And linger on the muffled highs of their final lullabies |
| [01:16.78] |
Your soul is scented by a potpourri of lotus leaves |
| [01:19.51] |
They float the breeze and grow beneath the rosewood trees |
| [01:22.37] |
It's poetry, no, it's closer to a finger painting |
| [01:25.02] |
From the simpler days when everything |
| [01:26.73] |
Was crayon-wax and pencil shavings |
| [01:28.06] |
I'm integrating 8 millimeter memories |
| [01:31.64] |
With letters in lipstick that ended with "Remember Me" |
| [01:33.39] |
Blanketed in purity, security's tight wrap |
| [01:35.70] |
If this is forever, f**k that, I want my life back |
| [01:38.90] |
If I was death, if I was life, if was pain, if I was strife |
| [01:42.10] |
If I was man, if I was god, would you walk toward the light |
| [01:44.75] |
If I was death, if I was life, if was pain, if I was strife |
| [01:47.63] |
If I was man, if I was god, would you walk toward the light |
| [01:50.32] |
If I was death, if I was life, if was pain, if I was strife |
| [01:52.98] |
If I was man, if I was god, would you walk toward the light |
| [01:55.20] |
If I was death, if I was life, if was pain, if I was strife |
| [01:58.33] |
If I was man, if I was god, would you walk toward the light |
