The Orchard Of Mind Opened, And I Stood Completely Aback Empty And Enlightened, I Drank Of The Miracles Torn In The Metaphysical, The Void Became A Creed
Fallen are the people of the decaying race Now proclaim the legacy inherited too late, too late Mankind, the dying creed, reared on ignorance and greed
I stand surrounded by the walls That once confined me Knowing I'll be underneath them When they crumble, when they fall With clarity my scars remind
The eyes around me are so cruel With every chance they steal my soul So walk with me, talk with me Hold my hand I'm stumbling in consequence It buries
Woke up and had a face to face Guess my reflection had a lot to say Why let my worries steal my days It just brings me down Does the song you sing have
A nature to nurture, an instinct to sin What's under me the skin you live in You trade your limit, your precious creation You will submit, you will give
If you say I'm alive I guess I'm living Why should I guess your size a choice I've been given Tell me everything's fine and peace is coming I won't listen
You walked away in silence You walked away to breathe Stopped and turned around to say goodbye to me I'm pleading as your leaving, I'm begging you stay
I can't explain, can't quite put my finger on it The difference that makes us so different We've said everything, our words only betrayed us Nothing is
I give my all, my everything Anything you want I've tried to be I tried, God knows I tried Or am I stuck somewhere between who I am and who I hope to
Walking around I hear The sounds of the earth seeking relief I'm trying to find a reason to live But the mindless clutter my path Oh, these thorns in
To what do I owe this gift, my friend? My life, my love, my soul? I've been dancing with the devil Way too long And it's making me grow old Making me
Hush my love now don't you cry Everything will be all right Close your eyes and drift in dream Rest in peaceful sleep If there's one thing I hope I showed
The mouths of envious Always find another door While at the gates of paradise They beat us down some more Our mission's set in stone 'Cause the writing
Oh, I didn't mean to yell but sometimes I get beside myself And oh, I didn't mean to rush you But time keeps pushing so much Oh, time keeps pushing so
When I'm all alone And no one else is there Waiting by the phone To remind me I'm still here When shadows paint the scenes Where spotlights used to fall
I spent a day by the river It was quiet and the wind stood still I spent some time with nature To remind me of all that's real It's funny how silence
This is not about age Time served on the earth Doesn't mean you grow in mind Grow in mind This is not about God Spiritual insinuations seem To shock
