give me something for the come down
cause i could use a little slow motion.
plus a minute to play catch up.
just a second while this adds up.
you don't have to hold back that much.
i feel it building. all this pressure got me reaching to relieve it,
i hit the curve
and know i wish that i could level out.
you got me so i get the next.
i plant this, sow, come and collect.
i planned this so with all respect i’ll be seeing it through.
i don't know how i got so far.
fist to the face in a front yard.
fanning the flames just to get started.
friends gathering in the fake gardens.
callousness craving to stay hardened. wait
in the shade til a change charges. afraid of a
game that i play pardoned. as if i don’t got
options. as if i earned this godsend. as if – i
learn un-mocked and (floats with the cost,
people we lost, personal loss, everything
gone: that’s it, i tried.) will you recognize my
face next time you see it and when you do i
hope you know that they don't love you like i
love you, they don't see you the way that i
do. they don't know the things that i knew.
