Being Kept Alive

Surfing on waves of sin To find the gold at the end Of a world gone to hell and back And back again Sometimes the worst thing Is to do something They try to sell me diamond rings Ladies fake implants, and cash never ending But who’s getting big momma out the hood Why is […]

Feeling Human Again

Police lights flash in my windows Rain bears down on freshly cut grass Paved streets glisten on this Sunday night Sunday night Where I play air soft for for hours with friends Getting shot for fun is fun Only it’s hella serious And once you enter you can’t leave At least that’s how I approach […]

Remove Humanity, Remove Sin

Shuttle me to chapel street Tackle my desire to trade in eternity For bad decisions Baltimore city drowns in ports of poor Drinking but never quenched Eating yet having room for more The bank of nationwide luck is closed But the bar stays open all the time Take out on the corner for a dream […]

sometimes I look out into the confusing world speeding around in infinity do we ever stop to appreciate the little moments the precious slivers of heaven that grace us but so often yet so well I’m guilty of living in my fantasy instead of a less gratifying but oh, so overwhelmingly necessary reality I’m afraid […]
