Time - Yellow Rose in a Parking Lot
He saw his reflection in the window wearing a garment of leaves
The concrete sighed, guilty of what it was hiding
It was providing a barrier between us and Gaia
He saw the future, he saw black snow and ash fall
But he found promise in the cracks in the asphalt
Nature fights back a blade of grass makes the axe fall
Our ancestors never needed borders and passports
We used to share seeds now we testify in tax court
Tell the devil you don’t fear em and he'll take his mask off
That's when you realize you're looking in the mirror at yourself
Mistaking enemies for the trauma that you were dealt
This morning I was on the carpet, picturing my cold end
Being choked by the frozen arm of the ocean
Sometimes I see the bloody foam, the sea glows red
I looked the red rider in the eye and off he went
I spit a verse he turns to flames I watch the ash go
I invade my shadow's castle put black flags on flagpoles
Flow sick like a bad cold, eat beats like black holes
I’m underground I wrote this with an earthworm in a rat hole
Let my words be shovels for those feeling trapped though
My friend was trying to be sober he never really had goals
He tried to heal his sad soul inhaling smoke through glass bowls
How many of us are still running from our dad though?
In the history of earth I’m not even a tadpole
I guess I’m waiting for my metamorphosis to grab hold
I love every version of me, my present I cherish it
I’m cutting the wires disarming the bombs I inherited
Living is when the past and future become unimportant
We can have it all if we all take a portion
He thought about the yellow rose thorns and temptation
The petals blew in the wind and needed no explanation
