Try is What We Do


So we all have our addiction breaking us temptation
After temptation confusion key in its operation
Wholesome feel we feel stuck on hallucination chemical induced or natural doesn’t matter

So we all have our weakness breaking us puddle mess
Confess or not conscious thought hot off the press
Yes instead of no oh no here we go rough high is the show fast and furious no go slow

So we all have our habit own it grab it some buried deep others tattoo half or full sleeve steep in DNA some would say but wait how about nurture? Now we debate a complex bit of sapiens existence

So we all have our way to write read understand or say thought process yes we don’t speak the same dialect or language your wrong I’m correct but lets check pause for a second  align with one accord we may go over board not a stop sign we have to reign in squash it throw it away to write read understand or say to each his own yet to blend is always a better flavour

Ice Cream!
