patriarchs @ midnight

Skyscraper screaming hollow bare sunset strip me
Blueline to long beach moon over del amo swap meet
Way past teenage time killing black velvet bottle sipping
Face to the wind
Strangers and kin
Blinking in and out of existence

It's just another one of these nights
I'm a ghost in a street light, dreaming
It's just another one of these nights
Drunk on my own nothing's wrong

Pain flees and leaves like
Patriarchs at midnight
A motherless outlaw
In through the window
I'm trespassing limbo
Then I'm out thru death's door
Turnt up I find peace
On metro bus seats
Rolled up in loose leaf
A little coke a lot of weed
It speaks to me in lesser keys
A locked jaw with missing teeth
Eyes frozen every breath a wasted motion
Brain is melting there's no rescue
And if you give me enough rope
I'll make a burden out of hope
She only really wants what's best for me
But I'm gonna cheat on destiny
Holy she closely clings to me
And she's only gonna be let down
I'm alone on the train
The devil blowin up my phone
He don't wanna be left out

Shadow stares from a distance
Darkness looks into my essence
I'm a cautionary lesson
Straight tales from the trippin
Eyes sockets drippin
steady runnin rippin
Stopping every minute
Glancing over shoulders
Cos I'm a corner store closin ass nigga
Empty pockets clockin into your purpose
Too long alive to divine and find the void you've chosen
The poison abyss you've missed
That factors into your depressive equation
So you evade the question
