How can you feel you’ve lost what you have
Yet never feel like you ever had what you lost
The paradox of love distance relationships
Long distance love
How can any real love be distant
Or be explained by the length of separation
When love is the desire to be one with
Not to be with one
Trauma
Atonement
I’ve spent so much time trying to atone
A lot of things I’ve toned down
I’m not perfect, and yet you still first, see my tone
Can you even feel the pain in my tone
Or are you tone deaf
I pick up the phone – no dial tone.
Through It All
All of the things I’ve went through
Now I can barely see through my window
Sealed doors will never let the wind through
No air and alone
Sometimes I think if the wind has been through
The things I went through
But through it all, I’ll still get through
For My Life
Prison was punishment
but I can’t stomach it
They put a price on my life
I gotta fight for my life
I broke my left after a right
They rollin’ dice on my life
Lions eat mice in this life
I need a knife for my life
Cuz they’ll stick a knife in my life
Might have to take a life for my life
And I might get life for that life
A lot in my eyes that I hide
Say I’m alright but I lie
Cuz I have a fight, I have pride
On borrowed time while inside
How much time til outside
My neighbor just lost his life
Before he made it outside
Everyday will I see night
Every night will I see light
I thought time had paid that price
But that price could be my life.
Hurts Good
I ran away from pleasure
and embraced the pain
to which became her name –
love hurts – but I love hurt
and I love hers – because I love her….
pain

I don’t need to know your whereabouts or what you’re wearing out
and if you wore it out –
Even if it’s a dress, unless you’re undressed
But there’s one thing we need to get addressed, before you get a dress,
Like, why were you seen leaving his address?
