Some Kind Of Lyrical Down Payment



I don't relate to you
I'm just listening
You can't understand my story
see we are different
the level of insanity is not equal 
and I see it 
you are the surface and I am the dept
I can search my whole life
and never end of here
in a room that smells like beer and incense 
you are insane and this has made me shameless
in my judgments and my vagueness
there are no words that can save us
only prayers to recognize us
quiet demons with pretty wings
and way too much money  
how do you measure wealth and success 
I love the greedy and arrogant 
we are the lazy and self serving 
starving for another helping of creativity 
I write it all down and he paints it 
the things I dream most would never even think it 
I'm not like them 
so why do they try to wear the same stuff
you look like I did in high school
and that is a British teenage prostitute
no one understood what I was getting away with
now I dress like the kid sister of Morrissey and Robert Smith  
down payment on the things I have't said yet 
what is it to be a writer
to wake from dreams and make the dreams
to have the world cry with you as you explain 
so many things are just too plain and basic
so color and songs exist in this world  
not just to shape this place but to save it 
I lived millions of days
but I can tell this one is going to be one of my favorites 
It feels like poetic justice 
or some kind of lyrical down payment

I am Josalisa and I come from pavement...to riOt
