lyrics

i been thinkin about this picture i want to draw

it's going to have vacant hands, still feared

it's gonna have pain with empty spaces

tools that choose us

it's gonna have catchy violence

someone will be poor and alone

african born

there will be the way

the gathering

the gun handle

the palm where the gun feels protected, then speaks

empty space

an un-played build

more hands

purple

grey scent that can be seen

me in no more

implied piano

it tilts

top right corner there's gonna be a red figure

yellowing space

an ancient woman presented in four faces

street sign maybe

street light maybe

an ancient man presented in shoulders

it's gonna have the woman i love

lower left corner, a blue horn

yellowing space

no moon

a gangster maybe

eyes that are earlier than comprehension

to these eyes love is sacred, but only a baby

to these eyes all of the rest drifts

brown with veins

black with fingers

empty space

eyes presented in generations
