Lifes Riches

Life's Riches

Raised up kind of happy through all the drama I guess
Grew up hating life and always living with stress
Few times I said Id have enough and do away with it all
Reflections of my dead body hanging off of the wall

See times past by, pains last, clashing with reality
Guess Ill never be happy and that shit it just shatters me
Everything I touch ends up crumpled to dust
Getting old not having anyone that I feel I can trust

Always live lonely never wanted no one around
My life crashes all I see is blood all over the ground

All I want in this life is to have some peaceful times
Sick of squabbling over crap that's just nickels and dimes
But the only peace I ever find is at the bottom of a bottle
Get your mind out your grave so dark like a haze that's all mottled
I feel in this life I've done so much overtime
Still waiting praying for those peaceful times, and what is mine.

Life's blessing surround me its too bad that I'm blind
My life feels like a clock flowing in slow motion through time
I got a feeling that I'm not really going anywhere at all
These wicked feelings got me sitting behind the eight ball

And intelligence makes it all worse
Understanding how life's just a curse
Happiness snatch away like a thief constantly pulling your purse
So tell me how can it get much worse, because I know it isn't getting no better
So I guess this will be my only type of love letter
Forever.
