darkness
Far from sickness, I reached a mountain
There stands the ancient memories
The wisdom of an old age
Sealed by time and dust
Drowned in the darkness,

my own eyes
In my own life
I don't know why
Then I nosedived into coke lines
Now I know white
And my old life feel like gold by comparison
That gold

a weekend walk by these muddy city shores
And old man river talks to me
But I can't quite understand: my feet stay locked to the dry land
So he drifts on with

explain it
But by the way I feel at night
When the neighbourhood
Sleeps soundly
As I stare up
At the moonlit river tide

I got an urge to d-d-dive in
Naked

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night

a young man old
A Pickaxe and whiskey are the handles I hold
Only spirit I had
To the quarry I sold
Limestone
I am living in limestone
And I'll be living in

everything then

Old man dies
Just outside
Heart broke with yearning
Next time around
He won't care anyhow
River flows where it must go
Twisting and a turning

myself, and keep from everybody else
To stay sane and maintain mental health
Since I was young
Was made fun of
By every one
Was a no one
Started wonder-in

and hid
But the weirdest thing they ever did
Was the day they floated me in the river Nile
Now I grew up rich, and I grew up soft
I sat in shul next to Ra

a boat man, go recycle
The only hope stands on a unicycle
Pipelines not allowed underground, rivers or lakes
As forest sway, fires replay, we are the state

all been polluted
By the dogs and the birds that have fed on the corpse of your nephew

Old woman you waste your insults on me
The flesh of a traitor

the wifey I'll be home soon ready dinner
Sprinting through the airport running like a river
Alexander defender of man truth giver
Blame the messenger

her down
Betrayed by her love

Holly; oh my Jolly
You good old fashioned hoe
Taken from us too early, the end you'll never know
But the few left

to being equal
Having human rights
And living in a better world

Covid dodgers, man there's options
Like a river that runs into a waterfall
Wish the world

we can only run for now 

Well Mississippi gave me all my pride 
Thought I would never die 
Learned my lessons, living in a single-wide by the river

to the road
Left it all behind
Rewind
An old man sings me a song about love
On a steel post, a worker's glove
Wild horses gaze, I stop to see
A stranger's laugh

Centuries ago in a part of Africa
Creatures were not as they are today
There were dinosaurs and things
And Dodos with wings
And man walked on all

bigger
My last good bye
Before I pull the trigger
Find my body in the river
Full with blood and liquor
I apologize to the man in the mirror
Will G O D

always been inside my head
But now I am at peace

Floating head first in the river
I'm counting the stars
As lives pass by
I was but eleven
Now a hundred

traded your soul
Man
You were the life of the party
Until the money was gone
You
You sold your friends down the river
One by one
As the eighties turned

thought I'm in the clouds
Turns out I was chillin' on the Michelin Man
You know kickin' the can
I'm tryna figure the plan
I want it written in land
The old

grave 
Down by the Green River he smiled 
And he gave her a wave  

I remember the songs he wrote 
How could anyone forget? 
And the gracious way he

weren't always easy but she had a big heart
I don't know what to say i just feel like crying

Sister you know what the old man said
Life is like a river

The mazes we crawl are carved by us, the winds that chime

One year old year cold year my gold's near
Platinum coated linings influenza locked inside your ear
