The winds trying to turn my page
Where I sit is cover in shade
And pigeons shit on shoulder blades
While women laugh at the mess that’s made
Purple mountains with spotted clouds
Hover over track homes that look so loud
Ugly to our eyes but they make rich men proud
Cause everything they do is innocent somehow
Kneeling at their bed praying to their lord
Saying sorry for those things n’ they don’t do them anymore
When everything’s been done and they’re hiding from the sun
Cheap prescription pills and maids to go on run’s
If your stuck behind the glass like the things you cant afford
Maxing out your credit cards while their knocking down your door
Pinching every penny that you find upon the floor
Trying to be better at what people loved you for
I know sometimes I’m shitty but you like my wit
They got rid of payphones and my cellular just quit
Waking up guilty with a messy head of hair
And a gut that’s so twisted up its hard to walk down stairs
Sometimes it feels nice to let your self destruct
And build something new over what was
I’ve been reading lately to learn how to write
And I’ve been sleeping lately all through the night
