MIST
A 1-2, a 1-2

I’m the type of guy who always needs a shower
Mornings and afternoons I treat my hair like flowers
Toiling in the mud, dirt, sand at work and after hours
I feel nothing but empowered
Seems to me we like to play as the cowards
Talking about plain things, save for the towers
Soon as I bring it up the basics gonna cower
Take my sweet nothings and turn them something sour
I wake up some days feeling rather pissed
Looking to the ground and how solid it is
Wishing I was grounded but proud the sky exists
Yet the mist I’ve found is the middleground I missed

Mist, like the whip when you ride for this shit
The mist, like Stephen King outside with the It
Missed, like the Kimber on the side of my hip
Mist, mist

Catch you outside missing me on that bullshit
You wanted at once heaven so nine to five on the pulpit
Serving up the sermons put the power in your toolkit
Until you got caught jerking your fist like a bullwhip
Privacy of your home, Wonderbread and Cool Whip
Little did they know, your wife was there in full drip
Very little knew of your mistress on call
Funny is the way in which our life falls
The good, the bad, and the ugliest of jaws
Swallowing us whole in the convergence of it all
People think they know you when they don’t know shit at all
Ain’t it real funny how opposites get involved
Mist, like the whip when you ride for this shit
The mist, like Stephen King outside with the It
Missed, with the Kimber on the side like some grits
Mist, mist

Real eyes realize what they see ain’t just one
It’s two making three which is really three into one
.33 like God or Winchester, please someone
Tell me why no one sees there’s a third option?
Third-eye shunned by established peoples
Critical thought dialogue seen as evil
Diplomats ain’t so diplomatic either
We live in a yin and yang kind of ether
I aim for the point between the black and white twist
And before you know it I’m gone in a wince
I ain’t just gone with the wind but gone with the mist
When you’re gone you’ll be missed

Mist, like the eyes when you ride for this shit
The mist, like anyone outside of the ship
Missed, like the in the with a
Mist, mist
Missed, like the heart if you ride for a buck
The missed, like anybody down on their luck
Mist, like the in the with a
Mist, mist
