Tired of the same Shirt
I'm feeling the pressure as my fist connects with the dresser,/ I'm
tired of this same shirt! I need a change from this worldly pleasure
that promises me fame and treasure!/ But my head hurts with this
inescapable danger to my life that seems like a distant stranger, voices
in my mind say "Blame her!"/ My mother she never meant to give
birth/bring this wingless angel to a lost earth/but I'm cursed from
Mama's womb I was consumed first/from this earth's burning core things
just get worse/for me as I run this race reluctantly/watch me bleed! as
the voices in my head plant seeds/confusion covers me like a blanket
that can't be seen/I scream "what do you want with me!!"/life's trials
drowning me till I lose my peace/pressure with no release enveloping me
into it's new zombie/watching the world wear their Sketchers and
Abercrombie/dazed and confused with their MTV/kids get abused with games
on their PSP with subliminals that guide their hands and feet/to continue on
life even if you lie & cheat/sellin drugs on the street where your
church friends meet./So you see my beef about my life as it treats me
bleak underneath these stained white sheets as sin in silence creeps to
make me sleep./tomorrow it will all repeat.
