"Lies By The Riverside"
by: SaH Bai
Mosquitos are feasting on my flesh
Think back / into the years
When I thought you were the best
I thought you were the one for me
The one to take the pain away
Of being cast out / of the world
For being such a whirlwind of emotions
& different from the rest
Had dreams where we hung out
You laying on my chest
To my heartbeat / we both breath in
Air from the city
When you're with whoever you want
Hope you don't forget me / with the time
That elapse
& we change without knowing
One day we are shorter than
The tress that are growing / beside us
In the ocean / I cast all my wants
& needs / then breath
In the air of the world / cause I know
You share with me
[The night sky. The tap water.
Flowers boarder this riverside
Parkway / your heart lay somewhere
With someone who isn't me
One day I hope you see / this mask
That you wear is hindering you
From being free of being live of being you]
Electric shocks in blue.
This world is made for two,
But I've made it where I can survive
As the one
Who stared down the barrel of gun
Ate six bullets just for fun
Thirteen pills just for thrills
Too low a dosage
For me to kill my feelings
[Years wasted on feelings.]
Yo...
Do you even know what you want
In this world, huh?
Do know what you can capture?
The rapture is some years away,
But I'd rather play before I meet my
Last living day in this plane / of existence
My resistance from telling you
Telling you
I feel so weird in your presence
You being here today is my new present
Teacher look up & say Sah*** Bai***
Present.
Stand at attention, but will fail to mention
That I have attention span issues
These tissues won't soak up the lies
You started everything
Became my prize / now besides..
All that
I will proceed in my fall back
To darkness & you will not call back
Cause I have no time to go indulge
In all that / my fall back is lovely
But I want the chance to be dovey
& lovey with words dedicated to ghosts
Viruses looking for hosts
& my feelings were to toast to the people
Eating my insides real slow
I would keep you
Inside my memories cause I like people
To think about sometimes
That I lost in old times
& one day these will just be old rhymes
I wrote for someone who just
Wasn't that ready
Lies created by the riverside park.
