lyrics

Do you know
where you’re going to?
Have you ever
loved a thing
so much it was hurting you?
Have you ever
turned your back
on your bliss
tho’ you wanted to
lift up its face and embrace it
like lovers do?

I look around
and I see things that remind me
if I don’t live it now
one day my life will be behind me
and the gifts that I said
I would leave for the children
will just be broken promises
I doubt I’ll be forgiven

So I'm gon' keep writing 
'til i reach my grave
poetic compositions
like sermons on Sundays
try to stop me, I won't listen
like a slave
Imma runaway
I found somthin' I love
now Imma hold on
and make it stay

I gon' keep writing
and this bliss will stay
Bliss like the first kiss
my first lover gave
just like the first time
that first love was made
These things are gone
like waves washed away.
But I'll keep on writing so this bliss will stay

2.
My words are glyphs
like symbols in caves
the last thing you’ll find
when all memories fade

Time won’t erase
these words I recite
so deep from the heart
so dark in the night
I keep this in mind
my soul and my sight

Time is a myth
entangled in lies
we are the gifts
Eternal, Divine
You are the blessing
I am the bliss
We are the dreams that Hollywood missed
when it made those fake things
for us to believe in
got me working so hard
I cant hardly believe in
the truths I once knew
now my life has no meanin’

But nothing ignites the soul
like a flame
mystical lyricals heal
the deepest of pain
I submit to The One
who is known by many names
don’t ask how I got here
just know that I came
and I'll keep on writing
'til I reach my grave

3.
With their calendars, clocks, and watches
they try
to constrain and constrict us
but you are like I
a twine in the rope of the ancestors’ line
a shift in thought
a new paradigm

You are like I
a Transcender of time
a Surpasser of limits
a Master of minds
I'll write my dreams all over these walls
scribble on napkins
and leaves when they fall
when Babylon crumbles
Imma leave when it falls
but until the time comes
I'm gon' answer to the call

And all of their lies
we can burn them to ash
blow past the cinders of spells thats been cast
set free the children
and tell them at last
who they are now is a wish from the past

Some try to confuse us
and keep us enchained
I’ll never change
It’s too late to behave
I’ll keep on writing
until this bliss fades
until there are no more words
and there’s nothing left to say
Until God don’t exist
and there’s no one left to pray
Until my last breath is
the wind that blows itself away

I’ll keep on writing and this bliss will stay
Bliss like the first kiss
my first lover gave
Just like the first time
that first love was made
These things are gone
like waves washed away, but
I'll keep on writing
this bliss will stay
