LYAD (Like you always do)

...

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

by the time you feel it'S all gone wrong

you'll know you've done it right

all ya gotta do is relax now

don't even try to fight

do not resist do not fear

not us and not yourself

so just go with the flow

even though and you know

your mind will try to fight

be comforted in the knowledge

that you've got the dosage right

enough to high but not to fly

a little burn but no crash

a little rub but not a tickle

a little bish a bit of bash

you'll know you've done it right

there's no point in anything now

you're a part of the cosmic rainbow

you’re a little piece in every dream

you're the silence in this noisy puzzle

you're the violence that fills the scream

and then you'll come down

like you always do

gasping and mouthing your wows

and then you'll come down

like you always do

grasping and housing your vows

and then you'll come down

like you always do

lip service lies what for?

and then you'll come down

like you always do

and then go get some more
