In My Veins
I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
I remember when my soul felt so detached
Emotions like the ocean
Knocking from the past
Demons laughing at me
Scratching on my back
But no one else to go to but the grave to see my... dad
I done... cried every night
I done... lost many fights
I done... seen my death
But that was the only time and it felt right
I cry I cry I cry (Yeah)
And I ask why, ask why, ask why (Yeah)
Lord why don't you hear me
My heart is tired
My arms are tied
I'm losing my breath
I know that I've lied
I know I'm not perfect
Can you give me
Give me a sign
But can you give me a sign
I know I'm not perfect
But can you give me a sign
Oh yeah
It's sickening
Killing me
Thinking of pillaging
Conscience is bickering
Blood is just thickening
Dying is tickling
Time is just tinkering
Down
Foul
All of my life and I've been out of bounds
Sinking in water but I can't even drown
Taste of my blood and my eyes are start to gouge
I scream for my mother
But she's living down south
I'm all on my own
With my sins all around
I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
Going with the flow
Not interested in a bee's life
Spread my wings amongst the breeze
Floating to an unknown
Nor sad nor happy
Nor extruding nor stagnant
The air is whimsical
I'm synced with the waves
Who's moon is a continuous shift
Getting lost at sea
Listening to the dolphins harmonies
With the subtle waves
I stare deep into my reflection
Thinking who is...
What am I?
A spared human?
Or an entity made with purpose
These waves coast
As I feel I am staggering across a tight rope
Why can't I just be...
My stomach twists at the thought of freedom
The excitement of escape
As the sun dances over the horizon
I begin to wonder
What's over the cliff?
How deep is the Marina?
My sails adjusted
Big winds are gusting
My chest inflates - robust
May this new journey
Be the key to new adventure
Davis
I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change

Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
