off the grid
i'm tired of it always being 86 degrees and sunny
but dark
always got these funeral sunglasses on
pretty sick of the man upstairs
always trying to confuse and blues me
if i drank all the whiskey and smoked my last blunt
there would be an empty and a roach somewhere
prolly an empty uzi
silly tricks
like brand new guitar strings breaking
and milk cartons all got pics of my guitar picks
i don't care why momma had to go when we were just wee tot kids
shrink the shadow sir
i just wanna grow my own vegetables
move away from the bottom of this hill
prolly spend a lil time in jail again soon
boys around here been acting up
guess i could use the break
take all the rubber bands off my fingers and wrists
and nuts
for a while
relax and get some rest
like some people like sunny beach chairs,
boat drinks and sunburns
i'll be just as happy in a dark room alone
obsessing over everything that went wrong
how i'm gonna run right out get drunk and do it all over again
within 6 months
or maybe
just maybe
this time it'll be different
she'll be pretty and trustworthy
i'll be sober and sane
the score will be perfect
we'll run right down to mexico with all that money in the trunk
only send postcards to our dead fathers
change our names to MR and MRS Dr finkelstien
you only realize how much you can't see
when you take your sunglasses off
and don your prescriptions
tell everyone we are prospecting real estate for a location to place a pro bono medical center for orphaned children
get free drinks all over town and maybe even a donation or two you don't even realize how your knife will cut through bone too
so then burn my bloody boots
take all my rich folk checks and my cash loot
and give it to somebody who will actually do
maybe one step is one closer to the truth
i may be level headed like pac in juice
but truth
we'll move
to the mountains
brew
moonshine,farm mota, and all organic coffee beans
sit on the porch watching the same dusk
we always waited for
to do dirt
before
drinking,smoking,being
alive
talking how that one time
we rubbed elbows with all the goodie goodies
and tricked em into doin something good
no steam engine always howling in the back drop
always screaming Cmon........
you gotta get the fuck......
too many shoulders to look over
the black beach blanket in the sky
has been bullet holed so many times
i can now tell
there is something bright back there trying to poke through
from behind
you know good guys always die
hope i'm not convicted of that crime
if it tears?
and i let it touch me
i don't wanna lose this state of mind
but dark
