night shift

jacen berry jr 2006 (memphis)



my eyes closes as the sun rises swalloing in a deep sleep
I made sure to cover my curtains knowing i will wake up to reapeat.
I live at night and die as day , like a vampire creature but money is my prey
I will keep repeating this even on my off week days
Not sad Nor happy im just alive
I seek strive, and comforble living
i'll seek that until the day I die


as the days grow cold , and time become ageless
when i look inside of a mirror my face is faceless
the way of my living is like living mazeless
my lfe is easy , and this is pleasing.
