Layers Now
by "OBSIDIAN!!!" [Excerp from "this eye of Mine" c. 2006]
i mean it still works
i
i mean
there's nothing inherently wrong with it
it just gets hard whenever it wants to
it's just, layers now
it's just, layers now
i mean
don't get me wrong
i still get the o'le morning glory
it's just that...
it's just, layers now
it's just, layers now
well, i's remember when i's was young
i just use to poke them all!
at twenty-one
at thirty-five
i was a 'keeping it real'!
i was feeling alive
now...
it's just, layers now
it's just, layers now
it's like sorting through
a basket of laundry for your socks
it's just, layers now
it's just, layers now
now run off!
and get yourself a new
boyfriend, ya hear?!
i'm not ashamed
i did my 'thing'
i can still swing and bang
it's just
that it's like leafing through
an old book
for the right page
i guess it just comes with age
it's just, layers now
it's just, layers now
i can still feel the
fire burning inside!
i can run but i can't hide
'cause...
it's just, layers now
it's just, layers now
it's just
layers
now
