usually i walk around smelling like incense,
but today i got advice:
put on some scented cologne that smells like flowers and things that are nice,
so when you go walking through nature and sunshine,
looking for anything you can find that’s new,
a butterfly with think that you make a nice flower and land on you.
and with its trust comes a feeling
you want to know more about,
but he flies far away,
and you’ve already figured it out.
usually i walk around smelling like incense,
but today i don’t have a choice.
i wreak of marijuana, light corona, bitter pills, and outer space,
‘cause i will do anything to distance myself from this place,
where i don’t got a thing to live for but my drugs and my dog,
and one day,
they’ll both be gone.
every night, in my dreams,
i leave my house and don't come home.
i wonder which one of these days it is that i will follow through,
'cause it is unsettling when you have no place to go,
but you find peace in the quiet and the butterflies and the stars.
