Traveling Mercies from Boyhood Dream by Sir Jon Lee

Hundid k

god is great

on my way

might be late

Pray I’m safe

Pray I wake

soul got weight

Pray it takes

I seen the devil on the dance floor

got the bible on the dashboard

On the pedal tryna fast forward

This the life I never asked

I be feeling like I'm damned if I don't do it

I be feeling like I'm damned if I do do it

I be going out my way to avoid pain

I be feeling like im damned if I go through it

I be felling im at war with my own self

I be looking to the sky and he won’t help

feeling stuck in my head and it don’t help

gotta find what’s divine in my own self

I put work on these verbs

Life and death in these words

I still question my own worth

Do my gig and leave earth

choose my path at rebirth

write my name in the dirt

End my pain with this curse

End my pain in this verse

Chose my path,
did the math
and I passed
Back to back
bandersnatch,

Kept my soul
In my control
No mind control
its my control
Can never snatch

i’m self aware
Im too prepared
I’m overwhelmed
I feel compelled
Its hard to catch

my breath in sprint
I worked a stint
My soul in lift
the end of shift
But I will be back
