No Roses - Armand Hammer

Shouting from beneath the surface

I stated committed but i wasnt perfect

Was it worth it?

Mostly indifferent but served her purpose

No roses

Hairpin curves the roads frozen

Oh dip

Watch him disappear

Beneath her nose

Unload then roaming Castle Hill at 4 am

Spent and Foggy threw up in ur lobby like i wont be back again

Cleaning up my act hat left by the mantle

Next to 90s r&b cds and Tea candles

Fuck it

Keeping Lies Straight no yaki

Wonder if she really put it past me

Heart committed wasnt hardly perfect

Second guessing this aint really working

Moments played out

Sudden urges

Weak

Speak of the devil

Wetter than last remembered

Repeat offender

Whats it take to make me reconsider

Swear she aint Playing second fiddle for another winter

Her baby boy getting big

First met him in his mothers womb

That aint mine

She let me splash Inside

First time raw

No balloon

I come thru tell her no perfume

Consuming my bassoon

Blue cheese moon

Blowing sour boom

We got history just a chemistry thang

Peeled outta Memory lane

Man i know i Been changed

(Woods)

Like it was yesterday, sitting in the waiting room finally out of things to say

No fear in your face replaced by something I couldn’t place then

nor articulate roday

Scales weighed gave way to beds made, closed eyes,

holding your hand felt like a lie

Clenched till you ground bone & knuckle

Came home bombed, tried to live in the rubble

though it would be enough that I loved you

maybe I didn’t love you enough

While you slept reached for the crutch

no woods in your hood made do with a vanilla dutch

Stalked through Hell’s Kitchen, torch cuffed, eyes peeled but

strangely, didn’t give a fuck

42nd, swept in the crush, human tides under blinking lights

thinking about the device, the life unchosen

the unknown price paid in that moment

empty words, earnestly spoken, copper tokens on debts imposing

Cops hopped out the unmarked whipe, said they seen me smoking

aggressive patdown but the L is down a strom drain floating

radio’s crackling, fresh action

One clapped me on the back «don't be out here when we circle»

The blood was black-purple

tiptoed inside, cupped your stomach from behind

were you really asleep or was I just that blind?
