The girl who always lies, finds me again
i want to close the door on her but shes beautiful so i let her in
thoughtlessness brought, she goes right into the stream,
I was always for some reason haunted and terrified by my dreams,
but listen to dreams did i not -- was addicted to do things for me & only me
when attacked all my responses were cold, desperate and mean,
like Mumia Abu says, I'm a psychic fuel seeking being,
I get no more pleasure through simple things
thrill junkie who's limits must be pushed, bells must I ring
Now I know better, I know I do,
but shes got me pinned, between me and 'you'
'you' is another girl, this one pure and true
one or the other, why can't I just choose?
A life of darkness and of pain, another loss of great potential,
or of laughter, love and family; keep my positive credentials
An easy choice -- obvious, for sure it looks
yet saying and doing are stories from two different books
What will it take for me to embrace and let my inner light shine
will I live by the statistics -- wait, not live, but die
I've heard it's possible to these numbers rise above and defy
but known have I not, another seeker to survive
choices that lead me to give up and live an never-ending lie
be looked down on blindly defined and categorized,
as another selfish, stereotypical complete waste of time
not the path when i was young that I imagined
wanted to make people happy, in turn created an unspeakable sadness
never a minute without stimulation,
ipods video games, with ourselves we've lost relations
The mind is more powerful than we can understand,
I must use mine for positivity, help restore this sacred land
turn chaos into passion, turn boredom into centeredness
not the self kind. But now why is this time it any different?
this time when I said this phrase I believed in it and meant it
no more living like a coward, I must stand up tall not sit
a task monumental, but now my internal fire has been lit
turn fear and hatred and selfishness into positive energy,
take the reins, 'make it rain', hold reign over my kingdom per-man-ently
not applying to this situation Paul's advice to "let it be"
not wait for motivation to me be miraculously introduced
take lemons, squeeze, and make the juice
take it as fuel; must hold on tight -- not lose focus and let loose
appreciation for simplicity, patience i must boost
I've been down the other road, what have I got left to lose?
Those words for me reveal the truth,
my family and health the best years of my youth
things that have beat the odds and are strangely/thankfully still around
maybe those stats that I read don't have, for me, to hold sound
or will i lose these things before I'm 6 feet below the ground?
not if i honor those who i call family those who like Three-Eleven are all Down
I leave with the thought that anything can be reached & achieved
at least thats what i feel deep down I must hold true and believe,
without that I'm not wandering, but lost -- like a ship to the see
