the Umbra

Dark soldiers tried to steal my heart last night
Two at the window to blot out the light
Hissed the words evilly to instill fright
I lay back and listen without puttin up a fight
They say “you gonna die of cancer”
I say that’s good

cancer eats doubt and fear until it’s gone
They say “you're gonna' lose that strong right arm”
Then I’ll beat you down lefty till you breathe no more
They laugh “you move like a cripple:
Yeah, that’s true, I’ll limp from this fight
Your sick plan in ruins when I douse your light
“you aint gon’ be nothing” they finally said
Then...
Why you poozers tryin' to mess with my head

Lil' Lame duck attack while I'm still in my bed

I awaken with half a smile
it's two thirty four
Cloaked by the darkness besides the glow
The anger in my gut like embers burn
Thinkin', it must be my turn
The dark soldiers disappeared like mist in rain
I fell back to sleep again
go figure
