LIKE A MOTH

VERSE 1 (Dekay)

I’m yearning for the life that I lost, searching for the light like a moth
Crack heads burning up the pipes in my loft
Sending secret messages twice at night when they cough
Get me high while I’m deciphering the findings I got
Rhymings a lot, pirates on blocks
A pyromaniac lunatic setting fire to the rocks
Firing the shots* FUCK YOU if you like me or not
An eye for an eye, I’ll strike you like a sign from the gods
I don’t drink white lightning, I drink gallons of pure gin
Pour in my throat and piss it back in my urine
If bad minded people see your mad or your boring
They'll walk all over you like you were laminate flooring
Damn it I’m falling grab samurai swords
And I’m warring with aliens from galaxy’s foreign
This is Dekays world call it Planet Appalling
I spend my time talking to inanimate drawings
Trust me I’m mad reality’s overrated
Get so frustrated when people go and fake it
There’s no escape shit this city’s like a snake pit
Where nothings sacred and everybody’s hated by somebody
I wait for enemies to come for me
Multiple personalities keep me company
Been broke for so long got used to having nothing see..
I guess I’m comfortable living uncomfortably
Dreaming of sick ways to get revenge with switchblades
Tell you your dead in a week, kill you in six days
Dutty like shit stains make it funky like Rick James
Cut off your head in your sleep and get that shit framed
Act normal? I’m not a fucking actress
This type of madness just takes a little practice
I cant get to sleep unless I back drinks
And it aint because of all the springs sticking out my mattress
I have nightmares sometimes I wake up screaming
Seeing the face of dead people when I’m dreaming
Hustling and stealing always plotting and scheming
Tell me what peace is, I’ve forgotten the meaning

HOOK

IM YEARNING 4 THE LIFE THAT I LOST
SEARCHING 4 THE LIGHT LIKE A MOTH

Never been accepted my skeleton is rejected heroin is injected
My parents didn’t expect it but everything is just hectic
From the cradle I peep, afraid of noises
But wasn’t able to sleep without hearing the sound of raised voices
They capture thieves but quickly the judge breaks
The snake catcher leaves the city too much snakes
Snapping like alligators trapped in the valley of traitors
Retaliators’d gladly betray us and sadly today it’s
Suicide squad’s aeroplanes from the bluest of skies drop
And smash thru the highest of blocks
Judas lies because he knew his life would’ a been lost
Crucified on the cross and who can describe gods
Plan I knew a man of the cloth that threw aside the cloth…
Like “damn, why’d I choose the side that lost”?
Be certain
It’s like the moth
When it finds the light
The light is hot it can’t bare it
Yet it keeps searching

"the offering of a rose basket I bear the widows cried

The coffin was a closed casket affair the lid closed tight

In every starving land there's a fat King

And every laughing man shares a sad grin"
