love is the creed

here I sit and survey the wreckage of my day
got ash on the floor and writing on the table
got a lotta shit to say while I’m still able
got roaches in the tray but the brains still nimble
don’t care what you say, life’s so simple
chilled out here forehead got no wrinkle
sleep all day like rip van winkle
just stepped out to make some money
not really what I want this bee craves honey
the gnome in my dome craves honeycomb
that sweet delight that I can’t leave alone

don’t really worry bout the life I lead
I know all I’ve got is just what I need
So raise your heads people and take heed
Got no Bible love is the creed
Got no Bible, love is the creed
Don’t need to be rich or know how to read
Just know how to live in word and in deed
Just live like your dying, oh yes indeed

and even if I feel like dying I never succumb
veins are filled with ice I’m getting dumb
sick as picking lice or splitting your thumb
seen so much of life I’m feeling numb
shocked in my socket, eyeballs stuck in the wall
electrocuted by the beauty of it all
electrified mind finds petrified times
moments never pass and time seems to last
forever found common ground and had a blast
we broke the glass and shattered the sound
put it back together look what we’ve found
remixed shard cards cut and shuffle the deck
now unbreakable surviving a train wreck
m. night here there’s always a twist
secret here is its all in the wrist

don’t really worry bout the life I lead
I know all I’ve got is just what I need
So raise your heads people and take heed
Got no Bible love is the creed
Got no Bible, love is the creed
Don’t need to be rich or know how to read
Just know how to live in word and in deed
Just live like your dying, oh yes indeed
