Short on Time
I tried so hard. So very long. To no avail. And now I think it might have been a waste of time. To try to change humanity. To try to bring upon a better way. Short on time. I tried, but I'm done searching for the truth. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I'm done searching for the truth. It is my right to self indulge. To live the dream. Demanding and convenience. After all I'm getting old. I'll turn the page. It's time I realized I can't change a thing. Short on time. I tried, but I'm done searching for the truth. If you can't beat 'em join 'em. I'm done searching for the truth. A new frontier. A pot of gold. A winning smile. A real go-getter in a safe suburban home.

Falling Apart
The lines are drawn in sand. And they're all on the outside. And they're
better off dead. And we won't let 'em in. We'll separate the land. And you just stay on your side.
We'll hold you to blame 'cause we don't understand and we don't even want to. I can see our
family has been falling apart for a long time. The righteousness of man controlled by god and
country. The enemy at hand is something less than him. The ignorance of man when pride
works well with hatred. We don't have the right 'cause we don't have a choice of the culture we're
born in. I can see our family has been falling apart for a long time. One house, One world. The
fear of what we do not understand results in all this pain. So much attention on the differences.
But not how we're the same. Let evolution strike the human heart. Ignite the light of truth.
Compassion will triumph over ignorance. It all starts with you.

Death of Illusion
Wake in the noble silence. Behold the starry sky. Sit. Silent meditation.
With the sun we rise. As illusion starts to die. And what's real becomes so bright. I rejoice the
end of time. Breathe. It's a perfect morning. I'm happy I'm alive. Walk gently through the darkness
until I see some light. I see some light. As illusion starts to die. And what's real becomes so bright.
I rejoice the end of time. A little bird taught me to live. Honor passion my father said. Months before
he passed away. A journey through some sacred place. Where now and then I get a taste. A vision
free of time and space. As illusion starts to die. And what's real becomes so bright. I rejoice the
end of time.

Sick of Promises
You left me out here in the cold. Out here is where heart stays young
and you'll be growing old. It's lonely out here in the night, but
every now and then the clouds make way and I enjoy the light. All of
the hope you showed me has turned to nothingness. Your change of heart
has left me so god damn sick of promises. Unhappy but I can make it on
my own, cause there's an energy in loneliness that forces one to grow.
Well maybe you'll see me someday, you'll say I never should of left
your side I'll simply walk away. All of the hope you showed me has
turned to nothingness. Your change of heart has left me so god damn
sick of promises.

Ego
She says there's misery inside. And she says the bed she's made will always beckon her to lie.
So you keep on digging this hole in which you think you must. Persistence marks your grave. No
courage left to pull you out. It's all insane. It's so insane. Insane. Conceptual enslavement. Insane.
When ego runs the show. Where is it going? It's so upsetting. Are you ready for a change? Imprisoned
here in my own mind. A dim distorted world is all that's known through these two eyes.So personal.
The man that's been blind since his birth knows not what darkness is. When suddenly your lights go on.
A fallen leaf. Your freedom is intense. Nothing taken for granted. Intense. When real comes rushing in.
Where is it going? It's so upsetting. Are you ready for a change? I'm sick of trying. Sick of pretending.
Am I ready for a change? So much locked inside.

Just Incase
We're on a living sphere. Orbits a burning sun. What are the chances
of this life supporting situation. Infinet exact conditions equals
somewhere you can live in. Did you ever stop and think your
ancestorial history all those people had to meet and all the
circumstances had to be just right all down the line back to the time
when man first started. This big bad life is what your handed will you
take your time for granted. Welcome to existence welcome to you time a
temporary visit until your final rite now's your greatest journey make
it all worth while, just incase there is no after life. Did you ever
stop and think your ancestorial history all those people had to meet
and all the circumstances had to be just right all down the line back
to the time when man first started. This big bad life is what your
handed will you take your life for granted. Could you be complacent,
will you fall in line, blinded by a system full of fear and pride.
Question what they're saying, develop your own side, just incase there
is no after life. We're not telling you what to believe, we're just
trying to remind of the possibilities if you get up off your knees
cause this just might be everything there is. Welcome to existence
welcome to you time a temporary visit until your final rite now's your
greatest journey make it all worth while, just incase there is no
after life. I got a lot of theories and don't know if I'm right, but
if you care to hear it, then this is my advice, live like it fucking
matters search for heaven deep inside just incase there is no after
life.

Have it All
Sometimes this towns my enemy. Trapped in an ugly place where no ones
really free. And the place I need to be is the place beyond the sea,
but then something inside screams you're alive go walk the line you
have it all. Sometimes my mind's my enemy. When I let the cold place
have it's way with me. Then I'm at my lowest low almost ready to let
go until something inside screams you're alive go walk the line you
have it all. Sweet liberation, let it all go, cause I don't belong
here anymore.

Going Nowhere
I worthy merchant sought to find his ticket into the dead mind
salvation into the kingdom gates. He found a man who which they say
could answer with authority, oh father please tell me the way. We're
going nowhere. The simple message struck no cord and he who'd wear a
crown of thorns could not transcend the man with truth. Outside
yourselves no place to look just lay down all your worldly guns cause
what you seek's inside of you. We're going nowhere. Right here. Right
now.

Lost Today
Now I see I know just what I have to be. And I see transformation is
up to me. Yet I can't explain why I hesitate why I won't set sail.
Just how many years will I roam the shore at this see of fear. I keep
running, and hiding, excepting, denying the day. I keep searching, and
slacking, and sleep and hacking away. I'm lost today, that's Ok I'll
be happy and stable and strong when I find my way. Progress made
doesn't take very long to fade. Same mistakes and the lesson will
rarely take. Still I'll stay on course it's the only way it's my only
choice. I'll keep up the fight if it takes a lifetime to get it right.
I keep running and falling and crawling in shame. I'll keep loving and
hating and faking and taking the blame. I'm lost today, that's Ok I'll
be happy and stable and strong when I find my way.

Setting Sun
Just a couple years ago your passion burned as brightly as the sun,
you're of the sun. Loving life and dreaming hard escaping as a
prisoner on the run, you're on the run. Challenging most everything
and vowing that you'd stay true to yourself, you were yourself.
Insightful and compassionate your soul was something you would never
sell, you'd never sell. But now it's over and it's done you're fading
like the setting sun. This world was something you could not outrun
you're fading like the setting sun. Nowadays you fit in well your
whole life laid out right before your eyes until you die. Internally
forgotten that this current life was something you despised, a web of
lies. You know that something's missing but you figure you may
thinking like a fool, the younger fool. When you stare into the mirror
you don't see the fallen soldier that I do, yes I do. Cause now it's
over and it's done you're fading like the setting sun. This world was
something you could not outrun you're fading like the setting sun.

Good morning littlebird. What's the good word? He says you are very
fortunate, you walk on this planet and that's a miracle. What are the
chances of you being here listening to this song breathing in the air?
Slim to none. Think about the infinite steps that had to take place
for you to exist. Do you see your ancestral history? On a sphere fit
for supporting living beings. Supporting you. Welcome to the world.
Step into the world. Do you feel the light today does your mind
betray. Take Control. So easy just to turn away from whats un
imaginary greater than where your manic mind wants to be. Solid ground
to help you slow and see where you are. Two feet on the planet. Do you
see vast cosmic infinity. black empty space supporting everything.
Supporting you.
