you're lookin' like someone just told you that your dog just died
but no-one on earth has even got this figured out
and it's closing on in please can you try and understand?
i'm calling your name
a pound for the peacebringer
i drove a long road to meet a bad guy last night
i didn't wanna do it but i got this worry now
and i'm finding it hard to even try to understand
and i gave him his due
a pound for the peacebringer
and it's so alone
when it comes to stay
trying to atone
make it through the day
and it creeps into
every little ray
often when it's due
wish I could get away
if i ever had
something i could taste
oh lord
i'm a slave to it
and another thing
i could only blame
i'm yours
what a shame about
all the other days
wasted and not claimed
downpour
i got rained away
i'm above
shaming i'm not saved
i'm done
with this labyrinth
juxtapose
hitting all the same
i'll change
like the butterfly
broken wings
powdered all the same
no blame
i'll elaborate
fixin' to apply
lessons i remain
i'll die
i won't be afraid
if you ever hear voices in your head
which one
will you listen to
do you ever hear
voices in your head?
i do
i can hear one now
it's saying
if you ever hear
voices in your head
which one
will you listen to?
with fresh insight
the day can't seem as long
you're always talking
and i'll climb to save you now
hope not dashed too quick
a long and storied fight
you've been found wanting
and i'm trying to save you now
so cruel to watch you fall
no longer able to fly
forever hoping
and no one can save you now
wise is the man who can control the story
hopeless and helpless and bleeding somewhat from the head
rise up and cast out all who would oppose him
sticking to reasons and prerehearsed notions of dread
sounding like someone who spares time for kindness
could be your path to the hearts of their murderous ways
lies justified by their own interference
raving and drooling we'll show them a new way to pray
piercing the bubble of mindsets confucian
eyes that still burn from the old revolution
falling for overly simple illusions
thoughtless and feeling like somebody took you away
smash every single compliant idealist
this violence is nothing compared to what stands in your way
retching with scorn at your hopeless solution
eyes that still burn from the old revolution
the druid
is fluid
he sinks not
float on
he'll pass by
in blink of eye
he sinks not
float on
pass over us
stop breathing in
delay
decay
