The Road

By Radley Klein

By Radley KleinPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

We stand on inherited land asking ourselves, “What’s god without a man?”

Without prophets no profit he’s off it, he lost it, spoke out of turn and now look what it cost us

We borrowed time and now with borrowed eyes we feast on sorrow

What’s left of us skip the trust too much light

Light it up don’t put out the fire though

It’s ok if you hide it we might find it tomorrow

Im in love but my lungs keep giving me less time

Remember that god isn’t humble like Ely

He walked the ground for a minute said wait I’ma get mine

Now I’m scattering blood splattered ashes I know it’s the last test I’m requesting no blessings

Just watch from the seaside it gets worse but it’s worth it

Your mom left you two bullets with obsidian then she folded

See she just didn’t know if that light that you holding would burn till your old teaching all of us lessons

Just don’t let your dreams get brighter

Let darkness guard the light inside you

Stay on the ground that’s how you find truth

When Enemies are complacent beside you
