Soapy froth of the sea Peaceful you lay and be. But your waters are dark with thick mud. Bubbles made, but they're not suds. Why is it your waters are grim. They cause you to drown rather than swim.

Burning

Catch the fields a blaze, from the crazy hell I raise. Spitting sick shit in this psychological phase. Running life like a maze. I've got it on point. If my mind trips I just roll another joint.
