The MESSAGE 3: Blood (see page 39, 179, and Bye)

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now (Stop me now) No matter how hard you try, nothing seemed to work World still turns And I tried and I tried, man But my world still burned My world, I seen I lost it all In skin, in flesh, in bones Ash to dust, cold to the touch Fire to drugs, skin to sun Iron to rust, power to trust Atlas shrugged World's eclipsed, Saturn scoffed Jupiter adrift, red eye to L.A. Causer of fate, like figure eights Like hurricane to water or rain Cycles to blame, perpetuate the pain Watch it rotate Past leave a stain, in a carbon trace til the west erased Shavings on page, shapes engraved Drawing a phantom, spiritually paid Fly to the hood, David displayed Specters of place, run to Samothrace Haunted by days, as the sun go away Darkness my face, body of clay Mountains, shoulders, rivers like veins Sisyphus boulder High when I'm stoned, low when I'm sober As I get older I try and resist, but it persists Absurd as it is, hand in a fist In the sky, false sense of pride In my skin, in my flesh, in my bones
