Winds - Intellectual

[Verse]

Came to terms with my demons

We cohabit with reason

Found a solace in nature taking leaves with the seasons

Centered my breath, a minute kept

Send up the beacon

I was down for a moon or two, the stars had me tweaking

Wind came through like Ang was whippin’ it, Yip Yip

Times hands on the dial still ticking, that’s off rip

Yeah I know it’s been a while, went missing

But don’t trip

I’ve been tapping into gold ammunition

The order of the white lotus moves in the dark

Kept my mind in one piece, can’t say the same for my heart

I’ll sort it out in my sleep, high price for relief

My subconscious will handle it

Balance found in release

Cause we got the type of love that runs deep in your bloodstream

The type that outsurvives the blunt trauma of hushed dreams

Reminiscing on what I used to think love means

A cool breeze rustles leaves off of an old tree

Our hearts breathe

[Chorus]

I braced for fall

The weight had grown too much for me

And I ain’t as tall as they had all hoped I could be

How is it the world’s been tripping out waiting for me?

No no, safe and sound cause these things just come around

Patient relief

[Verse]

Used to blame others for my insufficiencies

Like the leaves blaming the wind in autumn

Go ahead, light up another cheap thrill

Easy kill to the boredom

Be still let your thoughts find their order

Need change, that’s the way these things go

But it don’t make it easy

Truth bleeds from these poems, you don’t have to believe me

Anxiety’s got us living with that constant fear

Show concern - just enough to keep your conscious clear

Keep them fangs closed here

Blank prose we kept near

Turned to songs we sang for ‘em just to fall on deaf ears

Can’t lie, my pride stung

Kind of thing you outgrow

Kind of thing you try to not let show

Let yourself go and float

Time helps with the cope

Trees bend with the wind

The secret hidden to most

I refocused with a knowledge of self

Came out my baptism soaked

The winds dried left a new found hope
