The nothing

twist trees then i take a breath
before i fake my death
with a blank express-
ion on my face before i face the rest
and if it takes my best
i'm gonna make em guess
if what they thought before was hot
was just a glaciers crest
but if it's your world
then i'm a lay that place to rest
that ain't a gangstas jest
but more a poets crimes
see we just write these words
and maybe hope it rhymes
to help you see a thought
and let it grow some vines
so you can show it to the world and pray it coincides with the moments times
so they can hold you high
and whisper close into your ear
baby all is right
i know your tired of standing tall
but you wont fall tonight
you don't gotta look for stars
it's you that shines so bright
thats when you turn around
and learn to taste the rain
the flavor love like life
mixed with human pain
and know the feelings of these winds that blew before time came
know the nature of the dirt
the board that hosts the game
and feel lucidity in freedom we grew to call insane then you will understand the purpose
and know the reason we're to blame
for the wisdom
and the evils
and the nothing
all the same
