Self indulgent, parasitic Rampant and contagious Ravenous and dangerous And never a soft landing So high above the city streets High rise sweeps And chimney creeks So high above the stratospheric twilight glow Go go go-go girls break dance and champion Relax on Ambien I got this hollow charm offensive Bruising in offended Off the ledge And on the hook I mistook I mistook Left handed I mistook that blow for a smack And that kiss for an attack I'm so afraid i'll take your charity And use it i'll abuse it I'm so afraid to take your charity Though at times i'm unafraid To be a man Of integrity and not a shadow Of my former self In stealth no wealth i am fortified by my creativity You know that i been there You know that i been there You know that i been there You know that i been there The night terror's again / The night tears us again The night terror's again / The night tears us again The night terror's again / The night tears us again The night terror's again / The night tears us again Mark Keds 2015
