As We Fall

gatlin-d

1 min read

It’s a beautiful thing

The way you, push me away


Let’s play a game

If I lose, then we stay the same


Forever


Your the reason why it rains on the beach


Cause you


You got thorns


Keep them to tame


If you’ll take the blame


What do you want me to say


Have it your way


I won’t say your name



As we fall


Your thorns they pierce my skin


The grass stains red


I just want to swim in...

Endure

What if I’m not meant to run


Marathon


Maybe I’m endured


These trails are thin


But look within our little light


Only shines on you


Dims me on 3


One, two, three



December


The fruits you bare, would die out here


Is it enough to even care


Would I have to wait light years



Spaceships, Cosmos


Is this really how it’s got to go


I don’t know, I don’t know


There’s no air to grow

Waves

I miss the way I viewed the world, before I knew to much about it


My old car had 5 wheels, the jeep we often sat in


Your waves would hit my brain and now I’m a lonely being


Crash my car, I crashed my car into some cement


The views they met the waves, now Im blind and cannot see it


Paint your picture under sunrise


There’s sand stuck in your eyes


The more I try to get high


The more ...

Run

Blue lights

Red lights


No time

No time to run


Hands cuffed

I can’t run


Blue lights

Red lights


Nose dive

Nose diving deep


This water wasn’t cold when I drank it

But when I swam, it froze my sweat, dripping off my forehead


Then again, and then again, then again


These shoes ain’t meant for runnin

These shoes ain’t meant for swim


These shoes are made of rubber

These shoes just ...

Black & White

Thought of there mother an angel

Whered she get her wings from


Father was a business man

He gets more love from his cubicle


Had some teens they were livin great

He had a truck and she could figure skate


Dad liked to Golf on the weekends

Trey had his things, Rae had her way


Mama seemed to always be doing things

Comin home with hair that was unaware


Takin showers for hours

Pops thoug...

Tampa

Future, be free

Little daughter of the stars

Shenandoah



The death of me, the death of you

And everybody who


Preaches down on the infants

Preaching down on the infants


Screens and clones, they seek our own

They’ve captured all of whom

Is willing to be seized


We used to call for Santa

Now all we wish for is some Tampa


Sun mirrors off the water, let’s get a boat


We could ride out, h...

Clear

Could it be more clear


Piano, Guitar, Angelic Voice


Mini me was a materialist


He wanted the touch, he wanted the eyes


Now all he wants is the Sky


Faded moon in between lights


Why do I have to mask underneath the circus


And clean up my mess


Will I always take accountability


May I ever show disrespect


Could I ever be free


Mood change, and cloud rain


Blue car and nose ring

The Revelation

gatlin-d

1 min read

Stand up for whom observes you

Applaud those who seek forgiveness


Neglect fraud and respect creators

tomorrow is never just an occasion


Monday is the same as saturday

Just another day, waiting for another day


Evolving a truth to fit your beliefs

Spending money because you’ll make it back


We all fall short...
