As I light a flame near my lips, I inhale.
I miss those times I didn't need a cigarette to unveil.
You remember when time just seemed like it was going so fast?
Now the shit feels like it's taking eternity to pass.
I see the masks, but they won't last.
No one is ever able to escape from their past.
Embrace your flaws and face your lies.
Conquer your fears, and clear your eyes.
A family is far from perfection, but neither does it whither.
Shit, I'm glad I still have mine even though I'm their biggest sinner.
I get down on my knees and beg for their forgiveness.
I pray my children will never have to feel this...
.. call me Mellow..
