nothing is the same

by Antwan Fields - Aries

to look into the face of my father with shame
everything will be nothing and nothing will be the same
the laughter has vanished, the house is empty and dark
no longer laughing and happiness is a lark
and to sit staring at the phone until the room is black
makes me think of the qualities that i used to lack
yearning for forgivness but in the face of anger its stone
taut becomes my face and in the rage darker in tone
amphibious by nature reptilian by design
walking in the middle of the street down the yellow line
a cab driver honks his horn and he gets too blue
i get tired of him and shout "fuck you too!"
it makes me smile but only for an instant, only for a bit
for in the words of ministers and dickheads im going to the pit, to burn, to roast, to fry in hell, could i care less, don't think of the bell

and i could call it anything i want but nothing is the same
life: you have to live it right or be completely lame
fire away, and i do, screaming like a madman
but because i couldn't have you, i turn into a badman
mr. "i-don't-give-a-fuck" just for a sec
then i droop and turn into an emotional wreck.
