Red Sun Rising
Breaking every boundary
Loosen every chain
Moving new directions
kicking down the cage
Higher than a mountain
Flowing like a sage
Ripping up the pages
As I’m ready to engage
I’m ready to let go
I’m ready to begin
I’m ready for the fire
Ready to begin
I’ve been going nowhere
Living in a dream
But I see the Red Sun rising
And I hear it calling me
Knocked around by stormy weather
Made mistakes I should know better
Battered by some new adventure
Searching long forgotten treasure
Cause I don’t want to line forever
And I don’t want to die a stranger
But if I ever meet my Maker
I want to look him in the eye and I’ll say
I’m ready to let go
I’m ready to begin
I’m ready for the fire
Ready to begin
I’ve been going nowhere
Living in a dream
But I see the Red Sun rising
And I hear it calling me
Come Whatever May
Come whatever may
It can rage but it will fail
Straw Dogs in the blaze
They ignite then pass away
Flicker like a flame
Then dissipate
The fires of endless rage
Will have to wait
All along the way
I got blinded by the game
Chasing every day
Seems I lost more than I gained
Flicker like a flame
Then dissipate
The call of urgency
Will have to wait
Hardships come to me
But I keep good company
A canopy of trees
Such a sweet remedy
Flicker like a flame
Then dissipate
The fires of endless rage
Will have to wait
Ataraxia
I’ll tell you what is quite apparent to me,
I take six steps forward then I’m back on my knees
I tell you what is quite apparent to me,
I’ll be a long time running till I’m free of disease
Now I don’t know what’s wrong with me,
I see nothing but a tunnel and endless decrees
But all I know is that I’ve got to believe,
that the time for running is ending for me
Rising and Returning
Might be I’m a traitor
Reaping what I’ve sown
Just an empty speculator
Twisting on a throne
Rising and returning
Destiny unknown
Rising and returning
Pushing on a stone
But who’s the navigator
If I’m the broken one?
Another Armored gladiator
Wings of steel and bone
Forged in anger
Forged in flame
There’s an iron price to pay
Face the danger
Catch the flame
Some things last forever
And I have got forever
Forever to reclaim
All these tattered faces
Their Work is never done
Try falling into favour
Take what you have won
The Easy way Out
I can’t believe what I’m saying
I’m taking the easy way out
When talking is cheap,
And nothing’s discreet
I’m selling the truth by the pound
Cause I’m moving the point of surrender,
wearing my fate like a shroud
But if can distill,
what drags me downhill
Could I relinquish this crown?
Sometimes I feel like I’m dealing
Shuffling the pack for the crowd
I’m up and I’m down,
I’m thoroughly proud
But nothing is real when it’s found/ or profound
There’s a time and a place for losing,
that time and that place is now
Cause all my misdeeds
That helped me succeed
Are weighing me down to the ground
Moving through the fields I feel lost I feel real
Oxytocin is the dream that I cling to
Don’t follow me cause I’m out of reach and my senses aren’t quite what I was used to
Drifting through my days I feel young I feel safe,
theres no reason to believe life is painful
I feel a need but it’s lost on me,
cause the dopamine is guarding my temple
You’re calling me but I’m fast asleep
I try to walk but I’ve heavy feet
I’d like to talk, but I’m incomplete
And I’ll soon be gone
Systems override, it’s an armchair ride,
there’s no trouble in my mind all is graceful Don’t bother me cause I’m in too deep and I struggle to recall what’s essential
It’s far to late to ask as the rooms spinning fast and the chemicals massage as I tremble
I try to wake but this constant state is conjuring a feast for the senses
You’re calling me but I’m fast asleep
I try to walk but I’ve heavy feet
I’d like to talk but I’m incomplete
And I’ll soon be gone
Gliding in a haze and Im still amazed that the feeling in my brain’s quintessential
No peak or fall it’s a constant draw but I know there’s something more elemental
Ignorance is bliss and I so don’t miss all the failings that I used to resemble
some part of me is relinquishing to a core that pollinates and assembles
