Wish I was a shepherd With a flock of sheep Sitting on a hillside Grass beneath my feet Watching over loved ones

Lord and Jesus Christ Don’t forget the lice Spiders, ticks, and skeeters All the heeby-jeebers They’ve got their own place

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land

My soul knew that I can’t accept A fucked up view or perspective So threw me to the darkest pit To let my love be beacon lit

Ever been great at Balance? Then you understand Why I tip my scales.

My parents threw me to the pits When I was just a little kid That’s why I only know the cold And loving touch is stranglehold

If we would just ask Mother Nature for answers We might find our truths

There’s one thing I’ve never had in my life And I feel I’d regret Not tasting the spice It’s lean, it’s mean

It’s really hard to get inside My inner circle, past my spies But if you think it’s worth a try You just might find a paradise

If you think I’m gonna give up You don’t know shit about me I’m completely stubborn as fuck Ass ain’t got nothin’ on me

Face down in gutter again Seems to be my closest friend Where I land time and again Nothing new except the end

I stretch your being You respond with shocked intrigue Sparks dance in-between

Caught a glance Just by chance And it somehow moved me Head snapped Thunder clapped

I’ve never really cared about me I know I’ll be fine I’m the benchmark of resiliency You’re who’s on my mind

When we realize That our imperfections are Our emperfections
