| Grieves – Bloody Poetry Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
A street artist trying to figure himself out in a new world. I guess it started when the lights went out And everybody started running round in circles tryin' to figure it out Process of moving out into a new place. Slowly being called to the green Where the ghosts gather nightly and sell the devil their dreams, observe Hails from the other side of the curb Trying to avoid the drug/gang life. Hold the concrete notepad Scribble down my words in the limelight Graffiti under a lamppost. This is what it's like to bleed ink Put yo fingers in it paint me a picture of what you think His way of expressing his sadness. He wants you to see his art and feel something, too. It's forever, slowly resurrected from the dust When you understand it's everything inside of you, it's us. Emotions come from your past and from within. You're all I've ever known Just come to my sleep, you always got me running home Handful of roses Memories and dreaming of the old life. I've spoke a whisper in the dark one night Watch it take form in front of me and mimic my life It seemed natural especially watching it's last breathe like poetry Watch as it clung to it's own chest with a smile Made out of broken pieces of tile You can see the thoughts running, chase em around for miles He starts rapping and realizes how easy it comes to him. If you want it, people say that old road is haunted If you travel on it long enough you'll never get off it You believe it cause everything is skewed when you see it Then you process automatically, think that you feel it And automatically sticks to the brain when the truth of it Is standing outside, playing cards in the rain You will never beat the game it plays You can only turn around and lick the blood from your own switchblade Many people are afraid to leave the comforts of their past and end up getting stuck. They never move forward. The only way to escape is to rip yourself from those comforts and move forward. |
