A Young Fool’s Blues
For me, remember what I used to be
She’s got everything she needs, she don’t need no man
She’s got everything she needs, she don’t need no man
She has a desire to stand alone dreaming by her night stand
A ballet dancer in the palm of God’s hand
I’m dreaming of her
I want to let her know
How I love her and how I can’t let go
She’s gone and yet I remain alone
Will she ever read this?
I don’t know
I’m sending energy into the unknown
I gotta let her go
Tear stains on my clothes
I got nowhere to go
Feeding off pain and rhymes, she never came to my show
I wish she had but I can’t change that, you know?
Spreading love like butter on a biscuit
Hitting every line with words, I’ve missed it
Being so good but not having the one you want
I flaunt, I stomp, I count it all out
She’s does not answer my calls
So, I better stop before I fall
I’m not tryin’ to make a pretty verse
as my hearts in a hearse
Nailed up coffin buried in the ground
I’d fucking kill you for her, I’m not playin’ around
I drown, she revives me, and suddenly I’ve found
loving alone is a two tone dial file making me walk a mile
just to get to see her smile
Her orchid I see, and it gives me peace
Momentarily
I wish I could hold her but she doesn’t want me
So, what do you do when your in love
and it seems to come from up above?
When you feel cold without them,
in a blizzard with no gloves?
I give myself a shove,
beat the shit outta my mind so rough
a razor blade cutting my mind up
bleeding without wounds
praying to make it but I don’t know you
and if I could be with her
I’d be set for life!
But tonight,
I’d rather be saddled with the struggle of life
feeling shocks to my system
counting soul stains on a knife
Fuck being scared,
I’d burn a hole in the ozone layer
just to fit her through,
just to get you to see her true!
This may be rough
but believe me you
I ain’t stopping for any one
not even you
Or my mom, my job, my collection of billy clubs
that I kill myself with every night
dying of fright
wonderin’ if I’ll be alone the rest of my life
What is wrong and what is right
when you’re in love’s firefight?
You’d do anything for her if she’d just see you standing there
a clown with no clothes on making jokes with Steven Colbert
If I’m ever famous will she ever notice?
She eats the grains of love in my heart like a locust
I’m focused
A bit too much on things that don’t matter
walking around with Alice like the Mad Hatter
lost down the rabbit hole
love’s murder victim with blood spatter
click, tick, and clatter within my souls center
I got clean hands but I got no shoes
I got the blues
Who doesn’t but to name a few
Shady, Tupac, Biggie
Bob Dylan, Muddy waters, and Woody Guthrie
Odetta with a pencil making mad sounds
My guitar is useless without her around
I love her but she wants me to stay away
She is my breath, my fight, my struggle
every day
Now, to close out this verse
I gotta say
young dudes in love should stay that way!
Love infinitely within your heart faithfully!
Never stray from the power it gives you
even if you are trapped
and afraid they’ll never love you back
love is beautiful and sly, like an attack
It will change you into a better whack attack soldier of fortune with a jacket made of flack
Nothing can touch you once you are in love,
except for yourself
Just myself, so conflicted,
covered in glowing soul dust
