Thorny Pricks

like morning glory I'm so hard to stop
stronger than a dandelion you can't pop off my top
the world is full of many ugly insidious crops
I don't harm anyone so passers-by don't stop
no, I may not ever vanish completely
and when I come back it's always more sweetly
I don't understand why anyone wants to kill me
because I come with many o' white flower
though they're tiny they still pack more power
unlike my vines that intertwine and climb
spreading my little flowers so infinitely divine
to create a soft patch hidden inside your mind
for you to relax, free from the prickly porcupines
so go ahead and lay back, trade your stress for sunshine
don't let all the jealous haters rob you of your spine
lay back on my sweet softness to take a needed rest
close your eyes and then take a nice, big deep breath
you're here within my retreat so please be my guest
there's no need to take Valium or drink any wine
because I'm here so just allow me to blow your mind
there's no need to fear about anyone bleeding you dry
my soft, sweetness is designed to evaporate time
but if, even now, you still don't have the slightest clue
just take a wild guess about what's in it for you
it's up to you to decide if you're ready to “come to”
by then I'll have planted more dreams within you
so go ahead and do whatever it is you plan to do
but, when you leave, save a dream or two
because a life lived without dreams
is worse than a lawn with prickly weeds
don't ever let those thorny pricks rob them from you
but please realize that even if they happen to
I'm not here to judge or take anything from you
I've only one wish, only one job I'm glad to do
just be ready when their thorns get stuck inside you
so come on back anytime you want, relax and unwind
I do this out of love, there's nothing better you'll find
I hope you can see how beautiful life can be
when you extend your hand to a fellow human being
soon you will see people are just like all the weeds
society says that we're supposed to despise all sorts of things
but it doesn't mean that they're right
in fact, it's only because they're uptight
because throughout their whole life
every person they met came to fight
so many weeds stuck their thorny pricks inside
such pain as the thorns became fangs sucking blood
everyone from everywhere, never showing no love
please keep in mind if you happen to get stuck
it has absolutely nothing to do with bad luck
it was all just a test to find out if you'd show love
power, like choice, can lift you up or pull you down
you'd be wise to come back, lay on my soft ground
just remember I cannot force anyone to unwind
I suggest you relax, leave the past’s pain behind
praying I'll be blessed with someone to blow MY mind
that day is coming soon and I hope you will find
how evil you’ve been to me so move on or be kind
I don't lie or break promises despite what's in your mind
I swear mother fucker I promise I'm no longer being kind
I'm done taking the high road to a one-way, dead end
so this is your final warning, it was never pretend
