I stand before you
My life naked to the world
The king of squandered potential
The leper you created to frighten yourself
Stories you tell to frighten small children
The same children you beat and rape
Hiding in the shadows of your mind
I live rent free
Leaping out to the sounds of silence
…but I have no time for that
I’m working towards being the bigger man
A better man
Surpassing superstition
I still never throw my hat on the bed
Why risk it?
Life isn’t hard
It’s easy
It’s supposed to be anyway
You’re looking over your shoulder for a boogeyman
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of your own karma
While I walk hands holding mine on a beach at night
Just sat for the sunset
We had a drink together
The sun is rising
In the sky and in my soul
Reaching higher for answers
Watching that sun as it lifts my soul
Watching your actions as you cast shade on everything you touch
Who’s the leper now?
Everything you touch turns to vile and shit
Maybe you should clean up your house before you look into my eyes
The windows to my soul
The soul you seem to be missing
Playing the victim
Being a fool
It’s all good
The truth always surfaces
Bullshit usually floats
Floats in people’s minds
They know the truth
but they’re too busy playing the victim themselves to call you out on yours
They’ve dug their own hole in the belly of the Universe
A one way ticket to Hell
Even if it’s the hell you live in
Your head
Your mind
Never mind
You lost that
I’ve seen that
Deep inside there
and Christ, it’s a cluttered mess
No love lost
No love gained
I live in the rising sun
I only have room in my heart for love
Yeah, we’re all a cluttered mess inside
Some of us try to clean it up
Not feed it
Love to you and love to those around you
I won’t let this hate you bring touch me
Live in it
