Oblivion
Oblivion
Gazed into the mirror and was startled when I saw God blinking,
Saw the sadness in my mom's eyes it was obvious she had been drinking.
My conscious heavy like war bodies that are filled with lead,
I’m alone so it’s hard to break bread when all your brothers are dead,
Wish it was all in my head but I can’t stop bleeding, my wrist is hanging on by a thread.
One Winged Angel
Wing on one shoulder, burdens on the other.
I’ve struggled since the day I tumbled out of my mother.
I didn’t fall from heaven, kids like me aren’t heaven sent
But if i ever did I’d hit the ground running with ten toes on the cement.
Angel in disguise my bruised soul buried beneath people’s lies,
In a coffin, that’s where I’ll spend the rest my days with “one foot stuck in the tar pit of my ways.”
Guardian Soul
Ask God for a boost when my confidence needs it,
my soul is fractured and my energy is depleted.
I hide the skeletons in my closet,
People Are upset because my heart banks full and they have feelings they need to deposit.
The sun shines in my face but I see my reflection in the moon,
I don’t really like living, so you can tell pops that I’ll be with him soon.
