speak of the things we've seen
try and find a reason
for feeling my being's
a broken down playground
for angels and daemons
neither succeeding
neither succeeding
but if either one falters
see resolve dissolve
see resolve dissolve
like salt into water
as vicious fish
as vicious fish
feed on wishes missed
in a land of stained glass mansions
in a land of stained glass mansions
ripped to bits by bricks
i sit in the ruins of beauty
shackled to the smoke stacks
i sit in the ruins of beauty
shackled to the smoke stacks
that take the place of fruit trees
whose loose leaves
whose loose leaves
feed by smooth breeze
screamed colors in the end
no sound but wind
screamed colors in the end
no sound but wind
as they blanket the ground
now cement foundation
now cement foundation
in the midst of a wasteland
lets face it
lets face it
i'm the son of a country
that rapes sacred ancients
run on hungry tummies
run on hungry tummies
and the pouring of pavement
escaped basic enslavement
escaped basic enslavement
to make this statement
all i'm asking
all i'm asking
is to live is a fashion
where people are capable of conjuring
where people are capable of conjuring
some sort of compassion
shatter established
shatter established
learned patterns of past
burn frigid bridges
map paths in the ash
smash the hour glass open
smash the hour glass open
fashion castles in the sand
sing the songs we sang
sing the songs we sang
before the dawn of man
in the past on the grassland
in the past on the grassland
masked dance reenacts
stories and myths
stories and myths
that are actually facts
back before division
back before division
eclipsed intuitions wisdom
we lived within cyclical rhythms
a fission splintered
we lived within cyclical rhythms
a fission splintered
existence into fractions
now prisons replace
now prisons replace
simple interactions
a graceless fall
a graceless fall
from graceful relations
i meditate
i meditate
and wait for the day when
we awaken forsaken imagination
we awaken forsaken imagination
make grapes from raisins
and create substance
and create substance
where space had been
stay patient with limitations
stay patient with limitations
make them become useful
two sides to every sword
two sides to every sword
the ugly and the beautiful
to be truthful
to be truthful
i house both good and evil
together forever
together forever
i exist as all people
full spectrum collection
full spectrum collection
like light reflects in prisms
splits infinity
splits infinity
many eyes like insect vision
hell is repetition
hell is repetition
the only sin in coercion
heaven's the condition
heaven's the condition
of two bodies merging
virgin and the slut
virgin and the slut
secular and sacred
molecular awakening
molecular awakening
in bodies lying naked
everything the same
everything the same
it all became plain
men as straw dogs
men as straw dogs
women, paper cranes
in the hour of now
in the hour of now
watch a new dawn rise
there's beauty in the view
there's beauty in the view
even through polluted skies
purify the poison
purify the poison
heal and live again
give something real
give something real
feel and befriend
sip from loves cup
sip from loves cup
sup on earth's pleasures
fuel all your fires
fuel all your fires
and fly with your feathers
endeavor for heaven
endeavor for heaven
for over-extendace
bests resting forever
bests resting forever
then clutching at remnants
when its cold and dark
when its cold and dark
and hearts start to harden
stay out of stasis
stay out of stasis
grow like a garden
fear has no basis
fear has no basis
there's no need to cower
leave needless weeds
leave needless weeds
reseed them with flowers
in after hour shadows
in after hour shadows
scour city back roads
jack tractors and backhoes
and smack concrete with an axe
so grass grows
jack tractors and backhoes
and smack concrete with an axe
so grass grows
through the cracks
wear squares back down
into round shapes
as before the human race
as before the human race
replaced the ways of apes
face the past and the future
face the past and the future
but reside in the present
stay wide eyed to life
stay wide eyed to life
savor every second
as summer sun
as summer sun
becomes wind and rain
through the storm we're reborn
through the storm we're reborn
laugh to mask the pain
and grow from the strain
and grow from the strain
so it goes from birth
turn cruelty into beauty
turn cruelty into beauty
and help to heal the hurt
we walk upon this earth
we walk upon this earth
but we're only human beings
so i take tea with dream queens
and speak of things we've seen
so i take tea with dream queens
and speak of things we've seen
