Russell Wardlow

I pray..I stray..eyes glazed..crrrrryyyy baby
pupils, diiiiiiii-lated
he-look-de-hyyyyy-drated, she-look-de-hyyyyy-drated
blood peaking…I see,.. bloooood seeping open, blooood seeping o-pen
blood leaves me frozen, blood leaves them frozen, blood leaves me…
there is no revival, they try to revive you, there is no survival, no one survives!
blooooood seeping..blooood sacrifice!
this isn’t paradise, this is a pair-of-dice
no one survives inside of this paradigm
life’s paradox, prepares you for that box..that you sleep in..do you see it?
I stray from weepin, everyday we weaken, there is no weekends
before the week-ends, problems deep-en, drown in deep-end
prayers de-pend, on your dea-con,
hope they reach him, cuz eyes can’t reach Him,
I tried, be-lieve me, you-see-my-fea-tures, and what they fea-ture
eyes, like a Mo-lo-tov hurled, Mar-bor-lo, tar, (cough) gurgle
stone-cold-heart- gar-goyle/ blood, tears stains, left behind like car-oil
light will come but dark, is loyal…heart… turmoil
holes in your carhart soiled, blood seepin
I see bloooood seeping open, blooood seeping o-pen
he’s unresponsive, no insurance no sponsor
he won’t make it home, he betrayed his kids pinky promise
because, bloooood seeping open, blooood seeping o-pen
schools just as dangerous as the block now
women killed in passenger seats the same way Pac got shot down
his grandma called the cops, but it was the cops, not the ops that popped him
modifier stocks as an option on the chopper that flocks them
untouchable corporations replenish the stocks, you cant stop them
instead of lifting up our kids to a bright future, its to an infinite dark we drop them
I see, bloooood seeping open, blooood seeping o-pen
politics same as a warzone
ever since grandpa died, too many lies, seperated lives, tainted Wardlow’s
relationships end in life or death now
high vantage hotels become concert let downs
streets artistically designed by body sketch now
think before your next step now
dream before your next breath..POW!
bullet riddled like a witty question
violence was the answer
death too late to ever learn a lesson
unless you hold the camera
and control the angles…
bloooood seeping o-pen.
what is a life worth if death comes so easy
its ok until it hits the public or suburban neighborhoods, value is so misleading
wrong is wrong, killing is killing and I’m too numb to it
you can’t make exceptions or explain away a death if you held a gun to it
kids taken too early, family’s split by pain
killers becoming too common, red rivers flowing to gutter when it thunders and rains
I see, blooooood seeping open, blooooood seep-ing o-pen
