This ain't no place for a man of faith
I gamble it all away, tumble into fall abased and ablaze
Canât fault or blame fam, they parade arrays of aid and praise
Saints patronized by the razor blade
Dismayed and fazed and maybe I assay the prize
Stay alive or prepared â scared aint no way to die
Though if my ache could be assuaged by sin
Iâll make it bleed fate, racing to the gate pleading âtake me in,â Iâm
Down, unable to prevail unassisted
Will the tempest hail another victim in cyclical rhythm? Please
Break it, âcause honestly the lie âI try tirelesslyâ is cowardice
Powerless am I to fight this avarice, Iâm
Down, to give over control, the soulâs solely yours
Deal and dispose, but keep it real close and donât
Break it, âcause they gonâ take it hard if I donât make it through
And some are reaching for reason to hate you.
Time and time again Iâve been told
That I focus on the flaws of manâs off-center ten-fold
Stricken with the winter cold, sippinâ the burninâ hot
A spill will blister, learn not to leave skin exposed
Stitch it up and pray the kid recover nicely
And I might have if not for daddyâs bad advice
Heâs the type to fight God but not a vice
Grip the heater twice as hard â itâs this reality I battle nightly
Even in sleep it seems flightâs unattainable
Upon waking the facial expression deigns a satiable exchange
Weather shades drawn, either side a storm rages on
Patiently the fawn awaits the day the rainâs gone
In my defense I claim itâs obvious Iâm not him
Probably itâs the toxin â sorry itâs a lot been unresolved
Sick since six, seen âem revolve around a small town
âClick,â call it quits â bring all them walls
Down, finally Iâmma defeat the rival
With a rifle, writing my epistle titled âtry cycle,â I
Break it, so never they perpetuate the malady
Abashedly accommodate mortality, undoubtedly Iâm
Down, to reconsider, Iâll stay if you can make a promise though
Please keep it real close and donât
Break it,
And Iâm investigating other ways out
Will rebuilds what the bottle destroyed
Iâm downhill standing still at the bottom of Roy
Where the pass over I-5 looks alive much as anything
Cling to the side and any sign of your memory
My creative liberty is tempting me to hasten to the point of penance
We could be rejoined if you employ forgiveness
Sell it all, tell âem hell is nothing but a cell wall
Iâmma soar even as the shell⦠fallâ¦
Down, shed not a tear for my exodus
Iâm here in the protectorate, the fear I held was delicate, to
Break it, simply took a leap of faith and virtue
Serve through, I never meant to hurt you, for certain Iâll be
Down, to revisit the dearest of my kinfolk
Hold the spirit near, keep it real close and donât
Break it, the creed is all we got until we meet again
Iâm prayinâ youâre gonâ make it through the season.
