Poetry from Old Days
When all they say rings true
Seems I just fucked up again,
Well even at my best ain't gonna
Kneel in a pew.

So I'll swim against any stream,
Cuz I know all who say
Go on just dream
Don't really know shit, it
Clearly seems

Just get lost,
Go live in your dreams.
And when everyone says
Just accept
Say 'fuck it', I ain't your subject

People got their right from wrong
And I know just where I've gone
It all stems from where I've been
But I'll still follow through this song,

Cuz it's all that's holding me on.
Lyrics and rhyme lack the pureness
Of a raw voice said intent
But with just words I lack some sureness

So it's flow of lines I'll invent
To say those times I'll never quit
And ever to you I'll never quit
As this bile rises, ready to spit.

Fork in my road, a snake's tongue
This old tale, always sung
Of a choice, pursuing or moving
And it's only fools they pursue
That life's learning is to move

Time shows when it's right
Maybe true but I'll still fight.
Cuz time shows nothing
To fools who feel
Time means nothing
To those who pursue.

And if not now,
I'll still feel
With time only to grow
And if it's all to fail,
Maybe some to learn.
