If I could only get to you after it feels this long overdue
and freeze that moment in time.
The paradigm we would defy would cause me to realize
what I searched for to find was already mine.

But we're worlds away and I'm held at bay
for a time by this vast distance.
Despite limited interaction I maintain no distraction
to find a way to cross the expanse.

I see the mountains as an edifice looming in the horizon's mist
threatening me with discontent.
But we are the archetype opposite of the human plight
and for that I am content.

But we're worlds away and I'm held at bay
for a time by this vast distance.
Despite limited interaction I maintain no distraction
to find a way to cross the expanse.

From the moment I came out, the sun was bright in my eyes.
A whole life for me to live, a future as boundless as the sky.
Foolishly I thought I could be what I want, do anything that I please.
The sordid state of the world never entered into my darkest dreams.

There is a split second of peace every now and then when I smile and realize,
going to the end of the world would have been more than worth the prize.
There is more to this than just what i'm able to perceive,
but instead I am left bereft and with no significant guarantee.
And now I am...

Apathetic of the known, offering insufficiency,
and before more damage could be done I had to in fact set it free.
Even though the realization is that it has all been done in vain,
It has made all the difference and yet there is no significance.

As I lay back and think to myself I find it hard to realize
that this is a world created for all, because for me it's only made for one.
There is no point belaboring that which is now lost in the past
and my only regret is that all I can do all that I've done has had no significance.
At all...

Birds sing, there's not a cloud in the sky.
The sweetest lemonade, on that warm summer day.
Time is passing, carelessly by the blink of an eye.
Yeah August 9th was a beautiful day.

Like being in a coma for twenty-two years,
suddenly life is once again yours.
The storm is gone, the sun has shined all along.
Yeah August 9th was a beautiful day.

Flowers bloom, in the fields of green.
The sun is shining, the warm breeze sighing.
The phantom pains, have washed away all that remained.
Yeah August 9th was a beautiful day.

Like being in a coma for twenty-two years,
suddenly life is once again yours.
Nothing is wrong because today everything is okay.
Yeah August 9th was a beautiful day.

You got beauty but it doesn't mean a thing.
You got skill but I don't care at all.
A featureless silhouette is all that I can see
ever since you became a broken trampoline.

I once tried to be there but I lost my nerve.
The deception made me stay, I couldn't leave,
Now my syntax is intact and I realize that
in fact you're not all that.

You're failing, you're failing at the game.
happily ever after won't ever be something you can claim.
You're feigning as much as ever.
When did your life become a rueful "whatever."

You broke your bike, turned into one instead
of fixing it, many came to tread.
Banging my head against the wall I thought I had it all.
A fool is now all that I recall.

You're lying, you've been lying all along.
If only then I was so strong.
You're dying and you're gone.
No epitaph left behind but this song.

I was floating in a sea of pieces.
I was shuffling around to find the contour.
Wandering around aimlessly and so confused.

I was living down the road.
I was feeling incomplete and destitute.
Some force separating and miscontrued.

I am living in fearless bliss.
I am thinking back just to reminisce.
No more days dragging on like molasses.

This song goes out to the man I once knew
so long ago.
With marching thoughts so enharmonically whole
off he goes.

He left the walking lingering
and a wake of confusion left behind.
He was never jaded by not abstaining
never returned on time just to earn his dime.

But nonetheless he's always missed.
No lessons ever learned from his lips.
My expression is a confession.
Profession or regression, I ponder the question.

Upon recollection of from without
we're left in a depository of doubt.
He might think it's so damn incredible
but for now he is so damn irascible.

But nonetheless he's always missed.
No lessons ever learned from his lips.
My expression is a confession.
Profession or regression, I ponder the question.

I wonder how he can erode away the days,
leave her praying away in disarray.
I could guarantee he would disagree
but he is not someone that I would ever want to be.

But nonetheless he's always missed.
No lessons ever learned from his lips.
My expression is a confession.
Profession or regression, I ponder the question.

Day after day it never seems to stop,
I hate to say this but it's over the top.
You give it your all,
I give it my some.
This isn't the way it should be,
But I'm left here feeling so numb.

So this is my stand I'm telling you how it is,
with dichotomic rational
It's not a surprise you don't understand.
I've said it before.
I'm saying it again.
You're suffocating me alive.

You took more than I wanted you to take,
I might be wrong and it will be my mistake.
All you gave was
everything that you could.
You fought disrespect, you fought disregard,
and in return all I gave was nothing I should.

So this is my stand I'm telling you how it is,
with dichotomic rational
It's not a surprise you don't understand.
I've said it before.
I'm saying it again.
You're suffocating me alive.

So this is my stand i'm telling you how it is,
with dichotomic rational
It's not a surprise you don't understand.
I've said it before.
I'm saying it again.
You're suffocating me alive.

Sitting on a pedastal of refutable virtue.
From that high up of course everything you see will be skewed.
Looking down there can be no common good.
Despite rationality there is nothing at all to be understood.

Rejecting all of your humanity.
Conveying thoughts only with profanity.
Spurning life and mortality.
Disbelieving in any equality.

It's not a complicated theory if you lay your hatred aside.
Stop the negative collision of neurons and the delusion will subside.
Dust is the form of a human being and we are all alive.
But that is what gears your hatred into overdrive.

Disparaging any and all morality.
With false and fleeting hospitality.
Blinded by severe irrationality.
Has left your mind swirling in hopeless debris.

Forging false realities with ever increasing disdain.
Is leading your slow but rapid everyday decay.
Wasting hours mindfully playing futile make believe.
It has all left you estranged in this world and so fatally naive.

Believing the world is full of self-deceit.
Feining intellect with ignorance on repeat.
No faith at all in your humanity.
Is leading you past post-insanity.

It's widespread persuasion
that's prominent of refuting evolution.
They push you to believe through a fear
of a life after death that won't disappear.

We're all able to find a salvation
and it doesn't require religious revelation.
In the end this could be just a muse,
but we all have a human right to choose.

Life can either be bliss or an abyss
but in any case all we can do is persist.
We won't be lead astray even in decay
with empty promises of divinity each and every day.

We're all able to find a salvation
and it doesn't require religious revelation.
In the end this could be just a muse,
but we all have a human right to choose.

And we're all able to find a salvation
and it doesn't require religious revelation.
In the end this could be just a muse,
but we all have a human right to choose.

Time can't fill the air.
Some are unaware,
others fall into despair.

Ashes of a past unknown.
Ashes of a past unknown.
Ashes of a past unknown.

Selfishness fills the air.
You are unaware,
thinking life is so unfair.

Ashes of a past unknown.
Ashes of a past unknown.
Ashes of a past unknown.

The apathy is all around.
The philosophies run aground.
Continuing to go down.
The trodden path so well found.

Call it what you want, I'll call it life.

A blast of cool air now sharpening the senses,
I see overzealous priests and they won't let me turn away.
Invasive bombers sanctioned and resulting in decay.
What kind of God would encourage something so imhumane?

I'm not an Atheist.
I am just a human.
And if I have a choice
I won't hold a rifle in my hand.

Two thousand years ago you made a grand debut.
Leaving questionable morals and now guidance long overdue.
Systems to follow or reject,
golden rules that are oh so far from perfect.

I wasn't born without flaws.
I'm just a realist.
And in the age of science and reason
What's the point for religion to exist?

People in the world are writhing in pain.
Mortality is a bliss and not our ultimate bane.
Dispution of our origins are among our greatest foes.
We must renounce our hatred before our destiny is known.

I'm not war supporter,
I'm just a human.
And if I have a choice
I won't hold a rifle in my hand.

Heard it first from all my friends.
Lacked the ability to comprehend.
Never once gave anything to me.
Screaming out for understanding.

Guess what this really sucks.
In this quagmire I'm always stuck.
Can't say I'll never forget.
Everyone is just a silhouette.

Heard it last all the time.
Never can go from crawl to climb.
Always deceived and lead astray.
Systematic disarray, shattered faith.

Guess what I'm still stuck.
Ever struggling in this arid muck.
Trying hard not to regret.
Being eclipsed and left for dead.

Let's forget about the crime,
take a journey one more time.
Escape to meet in a place.
Escape to avoid the rat race.
How ironic to keep two apart,
when ultimately joined at the heart.
Until then we waste away.
months of todays waiting for the day.

Seems like such a long wait out in the cold.
But in the blink of an eye time will unfold.

After eternity has unwound
and we're back to the known unbound.
We and they will be free
to either dis or agree.
There's nothing in the way
to stop the world spinning to the day.
After so much time it might be hard to realize
leaving one question why.

Seems like such a long wait out in the cold.
But in the blink of an eye time will unfold.

It starts with hypocrisy
propagated by your TV.
A minor threat to the free
thinkers turn you to a herd of sheep.

I turn the channel because I'm not meek,
but you're there, so elite
trying to make me feel so incomplete
and I cannot escape the jubilee.

I knew you were the one.

I knew you were the one for me
the moment I saw you on TV.
Flashing bombs and stolen dreams
how could anyone ever disagree.

I knew you were the one.

The words sound so sweet
but my brain is wracked from the deceit.
You can't replete me with sanctity
because my thoughts are much more concrete.

How can you mislead the masses to believe
just because they are so naive.
It doesn't make it right but still you reap
as if you were Gods commander in chief.

I knew you were the one.

I knew you were the one for me
the moment I saw you on TV.
Flashing bombs and stolen dreams
how could anyone ever disagree.

I knew you were the one.

A forgotten memory lies at the back of my mind.
An eternity before it had been fully left behind.
Never whole but semi in control
and no ability to oppose how
It's clawing at the membranes
and lingering on in vain.
What do I do now?

Now the memory has come back to me today.
It's knowingly going to leave me in complete disarray.
If ever one knew it could come to this,
there would be more to do than vaguely reminisce.
Searching for salvation.
Finding only damnation.
Nothing is ever plain to me.

We fall down, blind to all.
Take orders, and feel small.
We're helpless, and we doubt.
Punch the clock, in and out.

We work half assed and run in place.
Wait until the day when we can escape this maze.
Ahh ahh (we can't escape this maze)
Ahh ahh (we're stuck in this place)

We sit with backs, to the beast.
Corroborate, so they cannot see.
Plot and plan, rationalize.
One more year, and we're outta here.

We're not allowed to ask questions.
Just take their word and do the absurd.
Ahh ahh (we can't escape this maze)
Ahh ahh (we're stuck in this place)

Hands are tied, as we create.
Clients deny, and berate.
Try to explain, educate.
No debate, so damn irate

We shut out ears and close our eyes.
Wait for the clock to tick the day on by.
Ahh ahh (we can't escape this maze)
Ahh ahh (we're stuck in this place)

Found him in the bottom of a barrel,
the friend I once knew so well.
He's out of his skull and out of his mind,
signed away his life and on the decline.
What ever happened since those old days.
He's now left ragged and decayed
and can barely remember his name.
So what more is left for him to say?

He's a religious drunk, blowing on his horn.
Dropping some messed up stuff in an attempt to belong.
He's suffering for his art, I wonder how much more can he take
before his body gives up and breaks.

Looking back he used to be so devout.
God fearing without a thought of doubt.
Makes me wonder what drove him to this life.
Maybe reality just wasn't enough for him to feel alive.

He's a religious drunk, blowing on his horn.
Dropping some messed up stuff in an attempt to belong.
He's suffering for his art, I wonder how much more can he take
before his body gives up and breaks.

Cheat and lie, kill and steal, don't do a thing about anything.
In fact never do a damn thing for anyone.
Get smart, do work, scrimping for a whole lifetime.
Why bother going against the grain from anyone.

People suck, taking offense over a pretense.
People suck, convicting neighbours without evidence.

Up down, left right, weaving your web of lies.
Oh no, watch out here comes another one why
hide and lie, hide why, covering up the truth.
One of these days it's all going to catch up to you

People suck, taking offense over a pretense.
People suck, convicting neighbours without evidence.

Recipes for hate, portend like childhood stories,
brainwashing to hate anyone you can't see.
Superlative altruism, never part of this society.
Your free thought is met with insubordination.

People suck, taking offense over a pretense.
People suck, convicting neighbours without evidence.

Rotating in a limb of the universe without apparent design.
Ever unknowingly and slowly evolving through the ages over time.
Transcending our origins all we have to do is open up our minds.
(The earth spins, the future begins, all in the blink of an eye.)

We're on this planet, inhabited by civilized man,
calling for world peace, ironic because the murders never cease.
We're on this planet, where our ancestors once began,
thoughts of so many suffering souls, ever buried in a vacant hole.

Combusting liquefied fossils is the path to power many have said.
Who would have thought that so few could rule so many meerly by threads.
The theologians proclaim creation but I have other thoughts instead.
(The population grows, ignorance shows, no where to run and hide.)

We're on this planet, somewhere lost in space,
with so many wild dreams, our future is boundless it would seem.
We're on this planet, we're part of the human race,
against all perceivable logic, we're letting the ignorance and hatred reign.

We're on this planet, somewhere lost in space,
with so many wild dreams, our future is boundless it would seem.
We're on this planet, we're part of the human race.
Let's put aside our difference please, shoot for our wildest dreams.
