My Own Prison
A court is in session a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale the cage made of steel
Screams fill the room alone I drop and kneel
Silence now the sound my breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around my face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence expecting no return
Here there is no penance my skin begins to burn
And I said so I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside which only fuels their selfish pride
And I said all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some we the meek are all in one
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head
No time for mourning ain't got no time
I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head
No time for mourning ain't got no time
I cry out to God seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison
I cry out to God seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison
Are You Ready?
Hey, Mr. Seeker hold on to this advice
If you keep seeking you will find
Don't want to follow down roads been walked before
It's so hard to find unopened doors
Are you ready are you ready for what's to come
I said are you ready are you ready for what's to come
Hey, Mr. Hero walking a thin, fine line
Under the microscope of life
Remember your roots, my friend
They're right down below because heroes come and heroes go
Are you ready are you ready for what's to come
I said are you ready are you ready for what's to come
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Count down to the change in life that's soon to come
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Count down to the change in life that's soon to come
Your life has just begun life has just begun
Are you ready are you ready for what's to come
I said are you ready are you ready for what's to come
Your life has just begun life has just begun
Young Grow Old
He said he's falling to pieces fighting the boy and the man
Over his shoulder there was freedom but consciousness has tied his hands
Embodied youth was his distinction now inhibition's in demand
So driven by his fear of weakness that's his key to understand
So far in a distant land there's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old
Trading places in the circle turn the glass, spill the sand
They say that time can make the difference but age doesn't make you a man
So far in a distant land there's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old
So young but overblown so young but overblown
Take a look now, see the boy is weakened
Watch him fade, watch him fade away
Take a bow and the boy is defeated
Is this the way, this the way?
So far in a distant land there's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old
Bullets
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
These thorns in my side these thorns in my side
I know I have something free I have something so alive
I think they shoot because they want it
I feel forces all around me come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows live with all that's dead
Look at me look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
In my lifetime when I'm disgraced by jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud because my life has gotten inside someone else's mind
Look at me look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
All I want is what's real something I touch and can feel I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why do we live this life with all this hate inside I'll give it away because I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place somewhere far away I'll go and you'll never see me again
Look at me look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Who's Got My Back?
Run hide all that was sacred to us see the signs
The covenant has been broken by mankind
Leaving us with no shoulder to rest our head on
Who's got my back now when all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected so what is the truth now?
There's still time all that has been devastated can be recreated realize
We pick up the broken pieces of our lives
Giving ourselves to each other to rest our head on
Who's got my back now when all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected so what is the truth now?
Tell me the truth now tell us the truth now
Who's got my back now when all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected so what is the truth now?
What If
I can't find the rhyme in all my reason lost sense of time and all seasons
Feel I've been beaten down by the words of men who have no grounds
Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom when your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did what if you lied?
What if I avenge what if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one we are strong the more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did what if you lied?
What if I avenge what if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
Because what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question a lonely simple question I'll just ask one question
What if? What if? What if? What if? What If I?
What if you did what if you lied?
What if I avenge what if eye for an eye?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?
