What did you do with the consequence
What were you thinking in your head
You were researching decadence
and your will to be fed
Strategize on how to control
get your money on the side
You don't want something sincere and real
you just want a free fucking ride
It doesn't work that way
you're just shallow and concerned
with your self and your narcissism
and you
got no rhythm to the wind
you got no rhythm to the spin
you've got no future with me

Thousand Years

I've been around, for a thousand years
and I didn't know how
to disappear
I've seen a lot of changes, I've seen it all go down
I've seen the pain inflicted, I've watched the water drown
the native mounds and poorest towns
all across these hallowed grounds
the names are hard to see
Like battlefields and troops deployed, the world never ever seems to end
somehow it just keeps its spin
and keeps on turning and turning and turning and turning again.
I've been around, for a thousand years
and I didn't know how
to disappear
I've been around, for a thousand years
and I didn't know how
to disappear

What an awful day
to have to see you away
what an awful day
Why did you run
where were you going
what was your purpose for leaving
did you know it was time
were you trying to open your mind
or purposely flee it
I gotta know, it doesn't matter
I gotta show, the world you've shattered
the pain and suffering and hopeless devices you returned
not to have seized it
Was it worth your time
did you find what you were looking for
in your exit door
out your fly
without your child
out your gain
and not my goodbye
cause I just
wanna know, it doesn't matter
I gotta show, the world you've shattered
the pain and suffering and hopeless devices you returned
not to have seized it
I gotta know, it doesn't matter
I gotta show, the world you've shattered
the pain and suffering and hopeless devices you returned
not to have seized it

I don't believe you love me
I think you're lying to me
my love isn't dependent on dollar signs
in your mind
pay my bills, wash my face and scratch my back
and I won't scratch yours cause I'm tired of hurting every time I try
Pay my ransom, pay my debts
and then you say that I will get
the best of you
but that's a fucked up way to be at all
I don't believe you love me
I think you're lying to me
my love isn't dependent on dollar signs
in your mind
pay my bills, wash my face and scratch my back
and I won't scratch yours cause I'm tired of hurting every time I try
Pay my ransom, pay my debts
and then you say that I will get
the best of you
but that's a fucked up way to be at all

You see, I see
everybody see's what they want to see, (yeah)
We all lie to ourselves and tell ourselves stories we can't believe
We're self deceived,
self promoting,
underrational beings
we spend a lifetime chasing dreams that don't make sense
Slavery is just another human resource term
we don't know what to believe
get your paycheck, get your house and get your wife
and two point five disease.

Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong
where did the song meet the rhyme and walk home
where did I go wrong from here, different stages of fear
can't combine, can't resign
my hope is a memory
for a lasting life I won't know
I won't go silently, yeah
I will climb and crawl and hope to breach sub walls
I won't go quietly
I will make lots of noise
I won't be
here for the void
Why is it this way or that way?
I don't know
but I won't go.

Survive
We don't get out alive
don't bring your answers to a doorway
serenade
skippin' out on lately
don't know where to find and where you'll be
Open Oceans again
Never find your wave
Energize quite greatly
Vibrations interchanging
Aiming
The modern view
no god is news
one that knocks and soothes
with plots ensued
The lotteries of birth
prodigies dispersed
in chorus and in verse
monopolies in church
Open your mind to the second life
Open your mind, don't give up your light
Never find a wave
Energize quite greatly
Vibrations interchanging
Aiming

I don't know where I've been
or where to find the way
I'm reconciled
and marching on
Where to go, where is home
'till the sunshine roams away
and all is lost
and that once was has been forgotten
Taken my time with a constant glance
my plans are an observation of a steady hand growing nervous
over mind and matter
impervious to circumstance
the purpose of slowing down and holding ground and finally take a chance
When poetry, is owing me
a minute of passing clarity
I take a breath and savor the opportunity
I'm in it to crack the parody
inside and outside of this vice called life
where none survive this abundance of light.
........
I want to see the sun in my Lily's eyes
I must go home, Please take me home.
