a foreigner

there is warmness in the depths of me

gliding so effortlessly to a calm beneath

a sea so plush in its vow to be

more of what we missed to see

i've sent hunting parties to find the part

of me i lost in the vietlay in my car

like vouyeristic masochism in my heart

upside from the lack of color from afar

it's a mission from Brother Joe to leave it

from a point in our minds where it sticks

like paint that has yet to dry on the bricks

of a martyr's hell and a god's trick

my faith is on a boat in the middle of oceans

surging riptides try to rip off in commotions

to make a believer in my commotion's motion

the sea is a ferver's skin with no lotion

ash in our bones like a fire

wanting strength in a miss of a liar

wishing sleepless nights next to the myre

till we find hope in our flight of trial

watching the world depend on our time

as it ends with credits rolling on prime

it is endless messes of true crime

till we see past the glass limes

cherry flavoured regret in my head

wanting a whim of my life when i bed

i'll be okay when my heart leaves dread

so i'll find life in a foreigner's death
