Sewn eyes and senses to desensitize this journey a transition of discerning what is good to what is green and I'm not superstitious but I had this premonition I was walking through a garden where the trees could not grow leaves The poison was in a chalice that fell to the soil It sunk in and every ocean in the world start to boil I thought that this had to be a bad dream But not so lucky it seems I was just waking up A whole herd without faces; a flock without wings No one saw, they were more concerned with the finer things As time passes, these rose coloured glasses fall away from me and allow me to see that we Carry the weight of all our greed when some of the best things in our lives always were and will be free save me from the rain 'cause I don't need your sympathy I'm doing the best with what was left for me 'cause I'll remain awake and dreaming Disguise the truth defend the suits citizens to consumers we watch, but don't care for you The best dream for me would probably be a nightmare for you So close your eyes and keep pretending that you can't see the truth I thought that this had to be a bad dream But not so lucky it seems I was just waking up A whole herd without faces; a flock without wings No one saw, they were more concerned with the finer things As time passes, these rose coloured glasses fall away from me and allow me to see that we Carry the weight of all our greed when some of the best things in our lives always were and will be free save me from the rain 'cause I don't need your sympathy I'm doing the best with what was left for me 'cause I'll remain awake and dreaming

You got your suitcase Zipped and buckled headed for the big city top down mixing the sound between your speakers and the summer breeze let’s take a ride to the places taking leases on American dreams 5 cars and movie star it doesn’t matter when the chicks are free All around the world we’re trying to cope with material spaces all around the world just trying to call it home A bounce in your step and a gleam in your eye A truth teller fella that never could've lie Movin to the city like a G'N'R song but it start to feel wrong when you stay too long A tree is a tree is a tree (three times) Done lost the innocence of medical rhymes Measuring you worth by your moneyclip's girth but that don't mean shit when you skate outta the earth Mellow is the fellow with the leather and the top that always droppin he ain't stoppin flashing ice and collar popping When he sings it's all about bling cause his joy is based on toys and other material things Changes in tide they go take you on a ride you might be feeling fine in fortune fate go hit you a blindside But it's all good if you travel how you should: light with a bright light keep on your toes and go All around the world we’re trying to cope with material spaces all around the world just trying to call it home

Sell yourself on beauty I’m purchasing You say you have no use for my currency but then you reach inside to look for all I’m offering restrict the pulse from beating At your own luxury but that's okay And that's okay Brace yourself for the impact I’m descending Devoured by these feelings surrounding me But when I reach inside to look for mutuality You say that time’s the reason and that it’s all we need and that's okay Then you walk away Lock the door and throw they key I’m your prisoner of love And I don't care And it’s safe to say That its hurting me to stay I’m your prisoner of love And that's okay You make me shiver, send me up the river into limbo get delivered girl but that's okay Hook line and sicker Is a chalice to a drinker down in one the sweetest poison till the lips turn grey You know I like my jailers, like my hemlock; on ice don't need it sugar coated they concern is duly noted but the bitter tastes so nice Then you walk away Lock the door and throw they key I’m your prisoner of love And I don't care And it’s safe to say That its hurting me to stay I’m your prisoner of love And that's okay

You can’t believe, can't believe them cause they’ll tell you it feels good while the cynics gnash their teeth a part of me feels deceit when the fruits of life cease to blossom and you cant afford the seeds we’ll spin the world ‘til it clicks in to test the liquid/plastic limits as it slips out from beneath (and no) we can’t survive if our nature is to sell you free commodify the air you breathe How we gonna hang when every time they bang The groove gonna close up in the cup We got it Figured out wrong, thought the thread it was so long But we groping the end of the rope to stop it We go have to go back find the genesis of wrong because We're living the life-that we-set up We’re just slipping away I can’t believe what I’m seeing raised to love one another wipe their blood off on your sleeves we’ll burn the flag in your honor There’s no pride when your head’s down stiff from staring at your feet We’ll strip the world of it’s riches to test the liquid/plastic limits as it slips out from beneath (and no) you can’t play god with a nation and separate it from the soil if the fabric is rooted deep And though it's slipping away, we're myopic in our sight I'm gonna give it away, cuz if it's not in my way I guess today will be allright And when it reaches our doorstep on the final night We gonna get down and pray, but the thing we gave away was the ability for humanity to set this tilting tanker right Can’t believe something’s wrong for the last time this feeling is so typical Can’t believe that something’s wrong for the last time you’ll feel it on your own oh the last time you’ll feel this on your own oh the last time I’ll do this all alone How we gonna hang when the groove close in the cup Figure out wrong, now the song it wrapping up we have to go back, find the genesis of wrong but the thread that we weave is too long Rasta tell yuh is a game they play but we don't care With our eyes closed we don't see them pulling out the chair Rasta tell you that the ones we think are better, yeah well they're just better at crossing their fingers while they swear …..to us, the back of the bus is the safest place to be while we reach prosperity when the tires squeal they go take the wheel cuz suits always leave home with para-chutes bottoms of cliffs are ours to feel When the world stops breathing mother grips her baby tight…she says it’s all right and thinks: (never should have stopped, every kiss was a blessing) (I wasted so much time when I could have been expressing that) (you became my world all the rest was trivial) (how could I deny this life is beautiful) How we gonna let the ones we need to protect grow up in a crumbling house We got it Figured out now, no more askin em how Baby's out of the corner and vex to stop it we go have to test the limits fore we reach our own Mama D'lo wants us to answer the phone – don't be gone. We’re just slipping away It’s all slipping away
