<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to cry for my lost dreams. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That house made of stone and glass </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with all wood inside the fame </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and fortune I never gained, </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the way my heart has been maimed </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my life tamed and bought at the corner store. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I fear for the living dead. </span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">because I’m not Annie Malone, </span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">don't use your phone </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I want to be a milliner</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tired of infighting, </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Set the sky on fire, bring souls out of mire </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stir the fires of love</span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the latest craze</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Always some new malaise </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Live like lost</span></div>

<span style="color: #353535; font-family: "applesystemuifont";">Blown away in awe, – Annie Malone was ahead of her time, born August 9, 1869 – A chime went off in my head to read… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #353535; font-family: "applesystemuifont";">American businesswoman, inventor, and philanthropist, Annie Malone came from a simple life. Annie manufactured products revolutionizing hair care for Black women. That’s my goal – be a hero, a superwoman, spokeswoman, for groups who appreciate a different kind of Annie Malone, a noblewoman, a strong secure woman, a give society-her due woman instead of suffering anxiety, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #353535; font-family: "applesystemuifont";">Gavin’s notoriety or mine. How much sobriety do you need to see the vitality? Like royalty live by misconception that insanity is the rule of the day. People say they want different, yet prefer compliancy, ignore morality impiously siding with majority, fear authority. Standing in a minority is gaining seniority. Gives me hope that one day we’ll be a supermajority and redevelop the meaning of authority. The Cherokees are the original owners yet were thrown away for currency. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Get more abstractionist as I age, when I was younger, psychiatrists said I was too literal<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Not just a faze, a way of life back in the 60s, </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">purple haze was an LSD craze </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">now under my hearts gaze </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lost in my mind's maze</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Can’t get a social security raise</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Keep wondering about ways </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To enjoy the sun’s rays</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And get out of this malaise</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Can’t get ahead, keep moving sideways</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I’m only human, feeling so blasé after so many days</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">unexcited with exceptions to every rule I face</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lost in a different kind of haze not knowing where I am in this phase of my life, not trifle</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Rephrase the question which is the answer to why I’m living this way, I’m only human, so fuck you too</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I don’t need money to flex</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I flex my humanity instead of money</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I agree, must be the end of days</span><br />

Liberation from knowledge about his medication<o:p></o:p></div>

Life is a series of reflections <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
A projection of ourselves like live cinema screen<o:p></o:p></div>

Regression into vegetation – initiation into some cruel occupation of my soul wanders<o:p></o:p></div>

Through listless impressions. dedication to a life I know nothing of<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Exploration of a faceless alibi, compression of frustration, I hold back<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Seek restitution, restoration for what I never owned<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

I want to climb up high and forget reality<o:p></o:p></div>

I want to forget slime balls I meet and center on my bloodline<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Settle on bloodline, like settling on a landmine<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Know life is on a deadline, it’s asinine<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Trying to believe in divine isn’t the goldmine <o:p></o:p></div>

I can’t take the pain<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Pain rears his ugly head disdainfully<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Again and again…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Pain reverberates, vibrates in my head<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
hear the only relief is death <o:p></o:p></div>

want to avoid that choice<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Live inside of my head<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Avoid the world outside <o:p></o:p></div>

Daddy preached the world is a dangerous place<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Filled with pitfalls, delusions of grandeur <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Fear says insolation is perfect solution<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Life lived inside dreams, hidden away – Daddy's way<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Seek relief in dreams <o:p></o:p></div>
