looking through a sideways mirror
distorted views, nothing comes into clear focus...
i feel like a passenger in the yellow cab of life, wondering why i don't drive like everyone else...
feeling obligated to speak to the driver, but i don't know his name
shattered mirrors multiply your faults by each jagged piece
jagged piece, hot wrists
red blood and a soul pours on the floor and becomes one with the earth again
another life is born, a child's name whom we've never heard or spoken
the next king of the universe ascends his throne and smiles at his pile of garbage
light cigarette, sit back and watch the show
the captain has turned on the no smoking sign... yet another disappointment.
i leap from the jet, with no parachute needed, into the fire of confusion
but i am not burned, the flames do not harm me at all...
and this is how i offer myself
this is all i have, take it or leave it
i will always look through the sideways mirror, and you will have to learn to deal with that...
but i offer in return truth if you look hard enough, and love in a different way
i will attempt to repair the damage i have done, which may be beyond the ability of the worlds most skilled surgen
because performing delicate surgery is almost impossible while using the reflection of the sideways mirror

worth the wait....
your use of metaphor is chilling, thank you so much for sharing this. your ability to search through those small black -wholes of thinking and produce writing like this, well, it is wonderful

jay, i have already forgiven you, and you know that i love you with all of my heart...
all the pain, all the sadness disappears when you put your arms around me...
thank you for this, and i love you...

SF21,
I said it before, and I'll say it again, you are remarkable.
You paint with words, and you paint with your guitar, no Monet, Van Gogh, or Picasso will move me like a Soulfly piece.
 
Passion + Truth = True Art
That was breathtakingly intelligent, passionate, talented, unique and hauntingly beauitful.
Much loves,

that's the irony in truth and love... its never just set right out for you... you always have to look deeper, sometimes squint, and sometimes expect the unexpected.
nice to know you're still alive, stranger

"i feel like a passenger in the yellow cab of life, wondering why i don't drive like everyone else..."

... and I sat there, by the water, my companion and I wondering what was floating through the mind of the man on the boat, as he watched us there on the rocks, and I found my mind was not quiet, yet I was unable to speak the words of the bad day and the frightening week... for I did not know how to share my unhappiness. I was afraid I could not have it back, and I had gotten used to it's company. Today I miss my companion, for my friend offered his ear and I filled it not with the pain he offered to take, but the happiness I sought to give.
This is fucking brilliant, soulfly. See you guys in a few months.
