Peace Treaty
Peace Treaty (12/21/2007)
I’ll sit and hold the anger and hatred
Eliminating traces of hate on these pages
Mistrust, misplaced it, take time and see
That there’s really good down inside of me
Still, I find and see and hear and observe
The facts of the matter, you really have nerve
What I deserve is a chance to explain this
Paint this through, let’s not complicate this
I know you hate this and you see the difference
Multiply by this and divide the interest
Life flies in inches and we’re on the edge
Let’s all step back and let’s talk like friends
Let’s walk the trend, let’s break the cycle
You talk of me in a long recital
I see your point and I understand this
But this backwards talk is underhanded
And I can not stand it, it weighs on me
I say it won’t, but doubts stay on me
Some say I’m mean, but I really care
There’s an olive branch here that we can share
And we’ll greet it bare, with hearts on sleeves
I’m staying calm though it’s hard to breathe
So far I see this doubt in your eyes
Without a chance for me to see why
But you need to see I have pure intentions
I know it’s hard, you and your discretion
But the very mention of the pain that you see
Not in these veins or flowing through me
And I hope that you’ll see behind the rhymes
Inside the mind of the this writer guy
I fight the fight cause I feel it’s worth it
So let’s talk it out and kill the circus
Notes: Not the strongest piece in recent history, but it’s written with a very fast tempo. It’s actually pretty difficult to write this quickly. As for the meaning? It’s about putting down the gloves and asking people who don’t know you to learn who you are before judging.
