Before you’ve begun

　

That the world is ugly and life is long and dirty

Time really drags but your too busy running trying to live

When you look up you realize you’ve spent your time dying

Dying to make it ahead of those of the same speed

And before you know it its too late to begin

Now your finish before you even got started

Along the way you’ve managed to make a baby or 3

Possibly had some fun with some one

Then the kids and forever are too much to handle

At times you bleed but for the most part you plead

Hoping that some one gives you that break

So you can breath love what you got

Obviously what you’ve got is far from enough

You want to cry but you stay tough

Hold your head up for the babies

Inside all the while time is ticking

Your mind begins slipping

And it’s all over now long before you’ve begun

Problems after 99

In the back ground plays hypnotic reams

As I float through a dreamy state

On top of the moon roof of my mind sprinkles pelts of hate

That wish to get through but I've already left my (over)head

During my ride to no where that I travel fast along my roads

Twisting with the turns of my failures

Later repaved by my triumphs

I am revisited by times that speeded by

Leaving me to wonder has went by fast or have a just be sleep as I survive

"Have I lost my mind" or do I just need to control my thinking

When I crack down on what spilts my thoughts

Trading in focus for blank stares

I picture an endless fall at the end of my path

That I can never avoid

So I fall and there is usually

Nothing more.....

Negative im-positive

In many attempts to be positive

I seem to only tell the awful truth

Point out the plans flaws

And question the creators existence

My faith in a higher power

Is as present as the presents of the most high

And to be honest I think most believers are mostly high

I’ve seen angels to only realize

That was the trick of my eyes

Or the fact that angels don’t die

I pray only to have my words echo off there own contradictions

Peace for all but death to the problem causers

Truth to the sun but my plans to stay hidden

And life for the living but death to the killer

I miss the point of the trip and I want to stand still

Only to get bumped into on coming tomorrows

Getting road rage causing me to chase down destiny

‘If I could only get over that hump”

Then I stop my speech and recognize the issue

The hump jumps and blocks me indefinitely

That’s why I can seem to smile

My eyes have seen so much wrong

That I can’t even cry right

Even if I tried I doubt I could die tonight

In that case I’ll just keep living in hopes I reach the limelight

Endless Past

I look around and the world seems to stands still
Things never moving forward only just appearing to have changed
But underneath the altered surfaces, the cogs of socitey remain the same
My world view travels through mirror images mimking the same pattern
As life revolves around an idea that doesn't support living
I feel terrified that tomorrow will be the same
So I close my eyes and fall asleep praying that what I see and feel are just the flaws of my mind
Only when I wake my nightmares are this reality
Traveling through loops of today and the motionless clocks
That tick to the beat of the yesterdays thinking
I tremble with terror that I can't just do something to change it all
Wishing to reach for the hands of time and stop going nowhere at every moment, But I feel powerless to stop it
Since the living around me are willing to die to keep this faithful exsitence
Which leads us to tomorrows endless past

OH

Oh who has seen the righteous vision of what’s over the mountain top
The view that many dead leaders gazed on before their lives where taken
After they spoke to us about moving on as we stepped back

Oh who has felt the feeling of flying without wings through
As the world crashed to the ground from pushing of our shoulders
To get free and be at last with the light that we feel against our souls, never seeing

Oh what is the price that must be paid to get as many of our own to the place each one wishes to be
It would gladly be paid if the price was made know
Though the feeling of it is the realization that the price maybe to high

Fast life

All this talk about living the fast life
When all life goes the same speeds as the world’s turn
Still there’s burning rubber from cars speeding riders to their demise
Eye’s of thousand watch on as the sparks from the crash burn their retinas
The main threat to us is the chance that we may relax
Brushing off old paths to higher hopeful lives
But that would defeat the dream of the of living quick
Speeding past the moment catching glimpses in passing
In the chance encounter with fast results of money
A faint feeling of power really lasting an hour
So most stay psyched about rushing to nothing
Shortening the days with short sight
With delight in claiming their living of a fast life

No More Trouble

No More Trouble

Lead by their own foolish thoughts of being over taken
They run around taken others over
Putting their names on their lands
Killing of their peoples and shipping in their own
They came it’s done in the name of GOD
They say it’s done to keep the world safe
They say it’s done for the advancement of many
When in fact their actions are done just for the control of controlling
No purpose other than them wanting to stay on top
Even if the top is set on a parallel line
When all come in and leave out the same way
They say they do it to bring peace but all they bring is trouble
But we don’t need NO MORE TROUBLE
No more pain from painful lies being spread about our children
We don’t want to suffer because another never learned to share
Times much change and with the changing time we must change with it
We must tell those that wish to control but not share the power
That we will no longer stand for it
That we will fight against it
That we already out number you and we don’t need

No More Trouble
