On her wings

(E-A-F_C-E)

I'll be sitting inside

Waiting on the BBQ pregnancy rite

Hiding from my own fight


Taking shots to the ribs while issuing kicks

But it does not matter how much I drank last night

Snorting coke through a straw thinking this liquid burns


Fist of five fingers she said I could use it

Seven jabs in the midriff she won't sing

High five to the punchline and my tooth is losing


I massage my fingers and thumbs before each day

I beat the shit out of me and you hit me using my drum machine

And I smoke drum from the bag looking back to a twenty year old Durham rag

As always I'm flown away on her wings
