FINDING HOME
Wanton winds have shifted the decline of movement from north to south
I have been blown somewhere unknown, now a bad taste in my mouth
Struggle likes to snuggle and I hate the company of miserable fools
Mistaken for a filthy mechanic when all I possess are word s for tools
So easily recognized or invisible to the eye, all I really see
Are lips moving incessantly, and not saying a mother fucking thing to me\
Am I to respond or is it better to listen to lines I once read from a script?
I am inclined to believe I would merit more respect lying in a crypt
Ah, yes, now I remember, I moved away to delay my obvious path of doom
And oh how I miss my black roses in their height of bloom
Feeding a habit and two kids all alone
There comes a time to grit those teeth and grind that stone\\
All for a reason that I believed to deliver a better way
I fought my demons and I prevailed but now cast astray
And I can’t help but wonder what the fuck was it all for anyway?
Bittersweet I am wide-eyed and yet still helpless and less adept
I strive for an existence free from toxic substances kept
But I will not deny the cravings persist and I have grown weak\
For life in all its bullshit drama has made me want to play hide and seek\\
Nerve damage and resurrected emotions I rage and I complain
\I feel compelled to rebel and defend myself as insane
I just thought a change might make things right
Stupid to believe someone else and ignore your own insight
Now I’ve got to get myself back to the west
Get back to disciplining myself and rise to the test
To find my little piece of happiness, that being my own land
Where I may do anything I please and who gives a fuck if you don’t understand
Just to know I wont have to be forced to go
And I can just let my hair down and let the free wind blow.
