Lyrics
As midnight approaches another evil has tortured my soul/
I’m gropin in the dark hopin to find something to hold/
Stuck in the folds of time-trapped in my own mind’s maze/
Find tranquility only in a homeless man’s blind gaze/
As times change I see myself still standing stead fast to my emotions.../
Eternity, once a gift of god now seemingly only mime’s stage…/
Then times change…and I’m hopin/
So much left to speak on but no voice to express it’s hopeless/
Potions list the fists of love clench the heart and all hope is lost, dead and motionless/
Become embellished and charged/
Live well cause it’s hard/
And only touch the taste that was barred/
Get lost in the stars…and look beyond that to see cost of your stars…/
But don’t encompass it/
These rules we live by set down by predecessors who were too afraid of the silence to speak/
But now I’m touchin it/
Hold on to your solitude tha’s all that you have/
And remember that your pride is nothing more than an illusion/
Your thoughts of individuality and false securities give way to the intrusion/
Of commercial politics and simple solutions to problems/
That are given to you through fluid transfer between your mother and dad/
Smothered in sad similarities of everyone around/
Your surroundings of clouded judgment is all that’s allowed/
Absorbed in your shroud of safety, simply a conventional back drop of the truth/
Human life as you know it has always been robbed of it’s youth/
That’s why I’m talking to you…I try to give meaning to your nonsense/
A lot’s missed/
Cause who really cares about nice beats over hot spits if you say nothing they wanna hear? /
Invocation of mythical thought patterns due to the scattered minds who choke on a tear…/
And leave you open with fear…/
Stuck in this one moment, a pause in my timeless wonder/
And seeing an endless journey before me/
That hides thunder within appearances of happiness but broken screams/
Usually always follow closer than it seems/
My eyes wallow…in the unrelenting uselessness of this age of my brothers/
And friends to see a lovers revenge/
To what end I ask of you…/
A mask ensued by total disregard of ya crew/
But then it started with you…/
Underlying visions sought out by inquisitive children/
Who’s curiosity caused them to lose their freedom of speech and thought/
Little do all you know, this really means a lot/
Because that’s where it all began…/
Innocence tried to touch the stars and you cut off his hand…/
Mirrors in the sand show many footsteps leading nowhere but right back where they first made a stand and got slapped to the concrete/
Who cares if something is off beat if it means more than anything you’ve stated previously to cause heat? /
You lost me when you first said you were hard core because what purpose does that really serve other than to pose an idle threat? /
Then you claim religion in the same track and you still haven’t picked up a bible yet/
I’ll regret none of the things I say in raps because in the long run/
I know I’ve been true to myself and that’s really all that matters to me and/
Myself within the scope of my intentions to give proof of death within a life of imprisonment/
And if this is the last battle I ever take part in who really cares if I’m the one winnin it? /
At least I got my voice heard and maybe one of the people out there/
Listening has allowed me to get my point across to them in their heads/
So they can travel lighter knowing that all that baggage they carry is totally useless/
Just like all the lines you spit at my feet that the subject really has nothing to do with…/
If you think that I’m wrong then prove it/
I’d really like you to, no I’m being honest I’d really like you to/
Cause everything that you say as apposed to my thoughts just very well might be true/
Because in all actuality, we all are in this one fight to lose/
