Promise

PROMISE ye lowlives laughing too much never close your eyes til the sun's coming up underslept, overdreamt my whole life trying to speak but silent with so much beneath it that thick wind under the surface you don't know me, or my purpose or my promise, i got promise your hands and feet for all of their grief turned out to be only your elbows and knees you go farther, you're just starting to see and you see that red pen hover in judgement and that census get those numbers away from us cause honest, we got nothing in our pockets but thin wrists and promise, we got promise i'm waking up pull me from my sheets in the dark as if in a dream, lifting off let me feel it shift in my blood let me feel like i'm rising up out of all the ashes and dust out of all the past - that's done i don't need what's long dead and gone, man, ) i got promise ) i got promise… )
