"Born Freak"
I raise commotions with emotion Hallelujah Leonard Cohen Hello to ya from the other side Break through if the doors won't open Sail to a foreign ocean with a broken bow but still a-floatin' Spoke stolen vows 'n' called it quotin' Hope floatin' now yet it seems like ghostin' Heart speedin' 'n' it feels like coastin' Arch demon black dog bad omens Part evil Part attempt to cope with my darker dreams 'n' a lack of focus Attack with bees 'n' a swarm of locusts like ancient Egypt I'm Bubba Ho-tep George Romero My zombie slow steps oddly poised All my limbs disjointed Ungodly noises expoldin' speakers for corner folk 'n' the roamin' tweakers Trojan horse bears warin' teeth for it's Roman hosts 'n' their homeless preachers Go alone for atonement treatment No golden globe awards low achievement Those rewarded are sure to gleam when older souls don't show bereavement Morse code I decode the speeches the teachers throw at a mass of leeches Shadowed hallways 'n' abandoned steeples outside the churches where they burn the people Mental strengths been set to feeble Regretted that gauge when it left me see through Event Horizon No eyes to peep truth Death keeps risin' like a debt to meet you Left with hindsight 'n' bed a sleep too much too often Envision a bleak view F**k everybody while I'm grippin' the freak roots of Tim Burton trees like I'm payin' a tribute © 2019 Derek St James |
