Down Upside
Shahmen
3:31In every city you sit when you listen to this You'll find a piece of me that drifts into infinite bliss It's been a gamble in the twist but I manage the risk And free solo climb the face of this cliff Get a grip, I'm ripping flower petals down to the stem Start a fire in my hand and blow an ounce in the wind I'm out for my kin, my Bowie doggy dog and all of my friends I know it's dog eat dog out there in the cannibal's den But I trailblaze past where the fantasies end In the pastures of my passion and gift The grass is greener, air is cleaner and the soil is rich I need land on every continent down to the inch Take a glimpse at my losses that my wins will eclipse And everyone who figured I'd fail finally eating their shit Switch this abyss oasis of my infinite bliss Dive in the moon pool and swim through the ocean again Ever since I met my dream girl I can't fall asleep It's been like this for weeks and the weeks just repeat I wrote a poem 'bout her just to bring me some peace Or at least just release before I turn to a beast Beauty blindfolded me, spirit took a hold of me Legs wrapped around, heart started controlling me Carving her name in all the margins of my poetry Growing trees, pulling on weeds, breaking this fresh dirt Spending hours smoking flowers, writing all these excerpts Till my breath burst and colors a couple words I'm head first diving in the blood Country girls love diamonds, give me healthcare and drug money Sometimes it feels like I'm hunting Bugs Bunny Nothing's funny as long as it's still sunny
