Misguided Function
04:35
|

Somehow, someway
Another dream is put up on a shelf
Too many get pushed astray
From ever being themselves
Why do we chose to fill
The mold that is provided
Progress just stands still
When our function is misguided
Be who you wanna be
Not just who they wanna see
X2
We tend to make the mistake
Of gratifying the body over the spirit
Feeding our physical desires
Needing truth but choosing not to hear it
Whoever said making a living is more important than making a difference
Is a liar and a low-life
Cares less for others than their own appearance
Live life selflessly
To be truly happy
Live life selflessly
To be happy

The Blur

Oh beauty, what is your place?
It's inside and outside, made simply to embrace
Inside it stays; but bodies disintegrate and fade
Who made beauty, does he go away or stay?
Never will it get unappealing to the opened eye
Something so pure, must be made by a flawless mind
Beauty will exist no matter what
Though forces reside to keep our eyes shut
Just open them up; right away you'll notice
Were not a blur, everything comes into focus
If life is an accident, beauty is too
If it even seems accidental; love can never be considered true
If thought is a byproduct of chemicals that align
Then every thought is wrong, they're flawed without a design
Sweet darling don't cry, I know it's hard right now
To find the meaning, to know it's your choice to allow
Beauty will exist no matter what
Though forces reside to keep our eyes shut
Just open them up; right away you'll notice
We are not a blur, everything comes into focus
It's not like I've just been told this
I feel it so I'll show it's
The source of all my happiness
Not just a made-up mess like the rest
All the pieces connect
So my emotions reflect
That pain is a distant memory
Goodbye worry
Goodbye anxiety
Just observing his glory and enjoying his beauty
Just observing his glory and enjoying his beauty

Cerulean
03:18
|

Green swaying grass
Scarlet autumn hillsides
Prismatic blossoms bloom
Within fog that consumes color
The orange sunrise leaks a hue
Like flames over salty tides so blue
Cerulean
What seas and skies have been
Nature filters all toxins
Like some Spirit so Holy
Welcomed in by pure hearts only
Cleanses you like evaporation
Sends you back blue like precipitation
Times where seas turn red
Just like the tetrad of moons
We all need something
And we need it soon
To wash away crimson stained sin
To be blue as
Cerulean
What seas and skies have been
Nature filters all toxins

All the Seeds yet to see the Sun
All the forests that haven't begun
All the light that goes unknown
All the hearts harder than stone
If you're sad when you're alone
Reflect on the good you've sewn
You are you, allow perfection to, be known
Don't depend on another's view
Take your time to find what's true
For loneliness can be a pain, but it allows knowledge to renew
Closed mind; it's like I'm not speaking
You think you've heard it all before
Closed mind
Even if I was screaming; your ears are nothing but ignored
With a mind unexplored
If you're mad when plans have failed
The ship for sanity has sailed
None can determine our steps except the creator that keeps them veiled
Time to pursue a brand new wind
A rootless route to an endless end
Toss your map aside, truth as your guide, transcend from an immoral trend
Closed mind; it's like I'm not speaking
You think you've heard it all before
Closed mind
Even if I was screaming; your ears are nothing but ignored
With a mind unexplored
All the Seeds yet to see the Sun
All the forests that haven't begun
All the light that goes unknown
All the hearts harder than stone

Worldly Existence
03:57

What you want isn't what you need
It's far to easy to succumb to greed
And you try to sanctify your selfish deeds
You say the guys I hang around with are just like me
I just don't see how it's a normal thing to be the same
Where's the originality
In your integrity
Oh, what I would give for you to see
Your pain could be set free
There's hope in a world so worldly
Just cus' you rely on it doesn't mean you love it
And saying you're better doesn't make you above it
I'm just a singer, you don't have to take my advice
I'm not too qualified but it feels pretty nice
I'd rather give love than disguise lies
I prefer to feed the mind than feed the eyes
Oh, what I would give for you to hear
There's no such thing as fear
If you know the machine, and that you're a gear
Something has to exist in order for anyone to be against it

Path of the Wind
03:37
|

Oh my, how I've seen many people go
and time, you know it's hard for it to slow
Though the people I've treasured the most
They've had the saddest goodbyes
But the happiest hello's
When time's are good
be happy
When time's are bad; consider
god has made the one as well as the other
In our minds, screws are easily let loose
Trend of this generation
Fools shape their lives after fools
With such a lie about whats cool
It's not funny it's downright cruel
Light is sweet
And it pleases the eyes to see
As you don't know the path of the wind
How can you understand
The work of the maker of all things
When time's are good
be happy
When time's are bad; consider
god has made the one as well as the other
Oh my, how I've seen many people go

What is a Dream?
03:22
|

In your dreams; what does your mind say?
What do you seek?
What does your soul pray?
Oh what a mystery it would be to dreaming every hour every day
What if life's just a dream only for some to perceive?
Those who learn that can let go of life's needs
Euphoric peace
A temple in your brain
A soothing breeze
Paradise from pain
Oh such a simple yet extraordinary part of what we live in every day
What if life's just a dream only for some to perceive?
Those who learn that can let go of life's needs
In your dreams
Just let me be
Just let me dream
Just let me be
Just let me dream

I don't live for luxury
Or to forget my brain and watch tv
There is no use in chasing fame
No amount of money can heal your pain
I have no hope in this government
I know the media lies and the money's all spent
Only this can be my life's true call
To help the same light that shines on me shine on all
Our reality just constantly
Gives us reasons to give in
Without reasons to give it all
It's so complicated to begin
So find a message you'd die to send, my friend
I could care less about technology
I guess being simple makes me an anomaly
We claim nothing surpasses our intellect
I suppose DNA isn't too intricate
Any way
I never realized until I knew I knew so little
Knowledge can never end, but minds are only physical
So I try not to get caught up in the moment
Because the moment's gone, and I'm holding back if I'm not moving on

Caught Up In Yesterday
05:31
|

Life has always been
A maze with no clear end
Collaborations of lessons in disguise
Dead ends hide just beneath the eyes
Uncompromisable eyes stray from what they may not know
We all comprise lies to hide our lack of control
I already know
I've seen it all before
Said the man who thinks he knows it all and more
He truly believes his works will earn him the right way
A thought conceived behind ears caught up in yesterday
Through all we must persevere
But it's hard when we think we steer
We're all given a vehicle and see it go
With no steering wheel we just see out the window
Uncompromisable eyes stray from what they may not know
We all comprise lies to hide our lack of control
I already know
I've seen it all before
Said the man who thinks he knows it all and more
He truly believes his works will earn him the right way
A thought conceived behind ears caught up in yesterday
And if hate breeds;
Drown it in peace
Who knows what time may hold,
Precise like a flower is to unfold

Under the Sun
04:38
|
|||
We all slip every once in awhile
It's easy to expect to be somewhat reconciled
Most of us claim to know ourselves
But fail to recognize we look through the eyes of someone else
The tide turns
And the wind spins
But it ends up
Right back where it begins
We all have voids yet to fill
We make it easy to complain and so much harder to rebuild
When we seek somewhere different
The present can feel seemingly insignificant
So why complain?
This world forever stays the same
Don't think this knowledge has just begun
Nothing is new under the sun
We can't live our lives afraid to die
We're only alive to someday die
Nothing is new under the sun
The words I speak have been said and this song has been sung
Nothing is new under the sun
The words I speak have been said and this song has been sung
Nothing is new under the sun
Oh nothing is new under the sun
