Lately I've been trying to answer these questions In the paradox of learning that eats away my innocence Conundrums will settle in the spectrum of thinking That collect here like cobwebs over every new circumstance When I'm given too much to return When I am punished by a common expense So I am finally starting to learn What it means to rely on my friends Now it comes back to the way I was feeling When I was much younger and Abandoned by my own accord And all the emotions stored up in my body Seep out through my skin to Reflect the way I'm living In a dream of life, some say exist Waking hours do seem to conceal so much more Every moment of peace in this complacent struggle Seems to promise a golden reward Now the present is disheveled through galactic interaction The steaming machines of commerce and justice The lust of the ego The egg and the halo The empty cardboard box at the end of every rainbow The poisonous water, the chemical air The corpse in it's coffin, the king in his chair The feast on the table. The cupboard so bare The tower of garbage hides a maiden so fair And you, ravenous students, are corrupted by knowledge In this village of idiots where The devil's seven children Have become villains preaching their way to salvation In the stations we choose Just to feel like we are living Oh! The treasure I've found in the eyes of damnation And the symbols I could never understand It's so hard to find love when you no longer seek Any difference in women and man Hear the whir of each machine that hides in your wall See the steps leading up to the inevitable fall Can you tell there's a way you could push through them all Can you look through the cracks that slither on in the air Can you see that there is something to know beyond there Well New awareness awaits those of patience, and prayer New awareness awaits those of patience, and prayer The next time you arrive in some new city square Could you promise me some correspondence from there Though I am not a man who is easily scared And I won't sit here dreaming of the places where you are I am a monster when I'm drunk, and I'm a paranoid liar And it is not just your voice, but your shape which I desire It is not just your voice, but your shape which I... Now taste the digital hum of the new antique world All of the constant peaceful noise All of the chaos if our wars Here we are, fighting for a standard with no meaning at all We have surrendered the spirit to quietly dissolve In the terror of our learning and the fear of our gods Until we're comfortable and crazy in our own little pods We are sterilized and lazy in our own... So I lay with my stomach expanding In my troth of endless peace And as the smoke ambles up from the ashtray It commences to encompass all the air that I breathe I am watching you without you knowing There is nobody else who I see You have defined all toward which I have been reaching You reside in an aura of intangible dream But I am nobody's friend, nobody's love And I'm through with pretending I am But I'm never concerned with the way the world turns There is only this burning desire To show you who I am Though it feels like someone has taken my place And stolen my face and disgraced my name I know it's just the way that I've changed And we all make mistakes, and we all must be shamed It has happened before, and it will happen again But it is so hard to know what I am feeling It is so hard to see through the fog All of the figures who move here before me Are they women or men? Are they mortals or gods Now take a good look at everything that surrounds you And if all that matters has fallen apart Have I surrendered my soul to oblivion If I pass through this world without leaving a mark So bury the hatchet into the skull of my sadness I'm off to the garden to watch the new flowers bloom And open my ears, and open my eyes And wait for the wind that caresses and moves Through my unfettered mind, oh how kind the world seems To hand me this life with the cost just to be To fill me with feeling and unconscious dream Oh! What more could I ask of this physical plane Carve into the earth, fingernails through the dirt I will pull up the worms, I will pluck out the weeds Keep clean and sustained in the sun and the rain I'll assemble the cradle and tend to the seeds Oh what beautiful growth from this desolate place Its majesty mirrors the whole human race Where all good and evil inhabit one space I am humbled and blessed by it all...
