6 - belief [a complicated truth] - a.d. carson lyrics

“there’s a long-held belief that
how to get to where we at
is do the things that we did
so, soon to be repeated
are the stories of the struggles that my brothers and i went through—
staring out the windows of apartment buildings
building our imaginations, waitin’, patient, not complacent
hatin’ stomach achin’. momma makin’ eggs and bacon
left too late to take the public transportation
so it’s pacin’ on our own two
i never really want to
but paintin’ for you pictures, so you’re sure to see it vividly
is how you will remember me
and if not, you can visit me in memories
i mention these to give you the illusion that i’m using what i learned
but really truth is complicated

i kind of made it more to cope with
the “dope” sh-t
the day we all lose hope in
the twist, and tell n0body you inhale ‘cause you in h-ll
and you’ve been well behind the “well” drinks
a sloppy little secret—
your friends are all so thoughtful, so they keep it
you’re seeking higher answers, and granny’s cancer can’t be canceled out
so you’re like jo jo dancer—man enough to stand and walk it out
i’m talkin’ ‘bout the love you lost that
barely gave you your heart back
inspiration for art that
almost got you to start back
on that downward spiral that made you feel you were alive
because you’re facin’ your death in every second, and you’re surprised
‘cause you ain’t died
and you ain’t wise enough to know why
you just want more, and you can’t find enough in your guys
and it ain’t no high, no love to talk you out of your hate
so your breaking point is the moment you decided your fate
and you take it upon yourself to go’on and write it all down
despite the fact it’s real emotional, or how it might sound.”
