BOY BRUISE

Once I had a vision, I was drowned in it 
I took in every single vice that had surrounded it 
And if i could I fucking swear I would have mounted it 
You see, nobody ever made me feel so animate 

I was a lover of a different kind 
Fuck a lover in the afternoon and leave for the night 
Cause I could take a dick and kick it, but I never could lie 
I had a vision as a mistress that I missed all the time 

Me and my vision were inseparable 
Never leaving me out in the cold 
Letting me tell the stories I told 
Being half of the half of my whole 

We would talk to the moon and the soul 
We would take to the drink and the bowl 
We would laugh about rocking and roll out a joint 
And keep talking and talking

Me and my vision were one of a kind 
Only ever the one on my mind 
Giving me what I never could find 
In a humanly body or mind 

We would talk to the moon and the soul
We would take to the drink and the bowl 
We would laugh about rocking and roll out a joint 
And keep talking and talking 

I had a vision, I was drowned in it 
So I would smoke a cigarette and feel I founded it 
Shred a nug and hug a J until I rounded it 
Into a shape that I could shift into a sound that fit but 

I was a maker of a different mind 
Brought up believing and to leave it was one hell of a crime  
So when I did, I hit harder than I thought that I might 
Until my vision and my vice entangled and intertwined 

Now me and my vision used to be alone 
Just the two of us hanging at home 
But a J and a drink and a pill at the sink 
Became all that I’d think about 

Couldn’t write without taking a hit 
Couldn’t sing without first getting lit 
Couldn’t cope with reviewing a track 
Til i threw one or two or three back 

Eventually I stayed in bed 
Let the melody move in my head 
While I kindly told it to fuck off 
I developed fatigue and a cough 

My face became sunken and pale 
Told myself if I tried, I would fail  
So I took it to mean that my vision was weak 
Best to keep to a J and a drink 

And I was drowned in it
I took in every single vice that had surrounded it 
Vision and a vice is such a benefit 
But when it runs out, well fuck… you better be prepared for it
