If your looking for something in my perspective I fear you might be disappointed My thoughts are a ball of yarn And my memories are all disjointed

Here we speak with certainty That life is only temporary And death eternal But then perhaps the inverse is true That I am dead and so are you And one day we may be chosen

Everyday I lose the battle Every night I die Every morning I'm reborn In the circle, by and by

Subtle shifts of enterprise Catch few too little eyes While spectacles of circumstance Leave no one to surprise

Trust has withered Death looms near Tis no life to live in fear Summer light is dim this year No goals No hope No future dreams Just feud and fight For naught it seems

Politics Try to fix The problems of the past And the future Is tomorrow But today I need to borrow I’ll pay you back The Great Payback Talking smack Causing trouble When I win I’ll won’t pay a thing But when you lose You’ll pay double.

Jesus lift me up Make thy soul and spirit true Let me become whole When I give my suffering to you

Freedom is forever war Not a battle Not a single score No shallow victory dance Nor endless summer sky Nor destiny romance Your mind must break Your heart shall bleed Your very spirit shatter Freedom is coming When you hear the faint drumming And the shots drown out the chatter.

Nobody says “you can’t” do Anything that you’ve already done. Nobody says “you can’t” compete For something you’ve already won.

Everybody sounds the same All got someone else to blame Hide your face Conceal your shame Winning at a Loser’s game

I’m really just a nobody Pretending to be somebody Repeating all the things back That everybody else says

One in the same Sharing a brain Two play the game Effort in vein Winner ordains Loser to shame Reset the plane Play it again.

I want sex I want money I want drugs and Rock n' Roll Above all of the above I want absolute control

When the money runs out The fields are in drought The well has gone dry And there's evil about Where do you run to Who's robes do you clutch What words give you comfort Does it help and how much?

Everybody said this trial is the most important Everybody said put your ego aside Everybody said this could be your last chance But remember last time? Everybody lied.

Here it comes Another cloud Filtering the light Affecting my mood Distorting my feeling Obscuring my insight Questioning my faith Doubting my sincerity Corrupting all I write

I'm the President! I'm the CEO. I'm the man in charge, And I'll make sure you always know.

I set the precedent. I make the laws. I've got people very close to me Who will cover any flaws.

So don't get it twisted. Don't get confused. Bring forth your righteous indignation And I will fasten tight your noose.

What we spoke were only lies How we behaved unjust Where we stood was hallowed ground When all we had was trust
