one mile from sanity ...one mile from peace
distance more than doubled walking on these broken feet
rode the beat forever, snared by the snare
staring at the sun, entranced by the glare

the world burns around be, but i aint judgin' you
look into my eyes you might see another you
truckin' through the muck, stuck by the hatred
bleeding on the concrete, it feels like a slave ship

planet on my shoulders in atlas position
everyday people feeling trapped in the system
diggin' in my pockets for my past wisdom
tripping on tomorrows, chasing past instants

time keeps on slipping as the record keeps skipping
people throwing stones, with hands stained from sinning
running short on options, rockin' to the rhythm
walkin' with the dead, trying to make a living

Peace and Blessings,

how'd you come up with it?

and these lines i felt... were the most potent to the piece:

planet on my shoulders in atlas position
everyday people feeling trapped in the system
diggin' in my pockets for my past wisdom
tripping on tomorrows, chasing past instants

time keeps on slipping as the record keeps skipping
people throwing stones, with hands stained from sinning
running short on options, rockin' to the rhythm
walkin' with the dead, trying to make a living

good to see you post again
