Capacity for Illusion

I can try to see what you mean this time, when you say to me buckle up
I ain't ready for this,
I ain't ready for that,
I ain't ready to see what this is
You can try to describe the ecstasy; but it, doesn't come close to the odyssey
To ruminate or to celebrate,
day by day I decide
Get alone or get in line, they say over our heads
I’ve got other plans,
I don’t need to pretend,
it ain’t ending like it did
Life is more than what you see, forget yesterday’s idolatry To ruminate or to celebrate; who knows what I'll decide?
In this cordial atmosphere, I see beyond all aberrations The world seems clearer, no need to fear her
The beauty of possibility increases your capacity for illusion

Flip the eraser,
put the pen to paper.
Every word has weight, thoughts are more than a spark. With each new page,
the story is unwritten from our lives; bound by leather and twine.
When it gets old and the terror sinks in, water falls on roses bleeding red
Through this new lens,
the work begins;
time is of the essence.
Don't be moved, by transgressions; for they are not the true message.
Light fills the room as the facade falls away, join your arms with your intentions aligned To remove pretense from display, allows infinite growth for all of mankind
Each day’s a reminder of what’s at stake, but when a lie is just a promise you didn’t make, you’re breathing air that's better stored in the pockets of a beggar.
For he is rich beyond our years, the face of humanity pales at the revelation of his tears, each drop a lesson, smearing the words written.

Hurt

The steel frame remains, apathetic and affection-less; reinforcement of false hallucinations
Left by the wake of the unimpeded tide
These people here and gone, but left unchanged, To this day their shadows stay
The steel frame remains; reminders of a simpler time. A forced perspective to the rest
As they opened their eyes, the waves break. While we surmise fear and ignorance
And from the ashes,
a dream realized
Not to be taken for granted, but imparted evermore

Ape & Essence

Sittin’ on the edge, hands on his knees Eyes rolled back, deep in sleep
Waitin’ for the end, while times are good
You know it won't last, but you know that it should Ain't felt the sun, grace your veins
Can't taste the wind, can't feel the rain Thunder calls; confusion sings
Drop the gavel; feel no pain
You missed the point, yet feel like this Lash out, the end of bliss.
Had no worth, from the nest
Every step another nail in the chest
Come around yet yield no ground
Thick skin and thicker skulls hollowed out
Think clearly, don’t react blindly
Use more than your eyes to see it carefully Hostility’s a lonely world, and you lack the skills to survive
Come around, yet yield no ground
Thick skin and thicker skulls hollowed out Hostility’s a lonely world, and you lack the skills to survive
The warm embrace Will not bring you solace And will leave you Coldest
It creeps slow and meek Seeps in tow
In your sleep

Just sit there and listen, use your ears for a change
But you’ve decided already that you're gonna go, but I'd like you for a minute more
Wish you'd just get with it now, you know you rule your own life But my words are mere suggestions, so you can bottle up your pain But don't be afraid
Perfect tunnel vision
There's more out there to see
But you're just there on the moon
Not waitin’ just livin’ the day
Got a one track mind
Can only do one thing at a time
We need to work together to display that it's not too late to refrain
Divide your attention to your position
Shed your restless skin save this moment for recollection Make haste jump right in
Cry to make yourself feel somethin’ but it's no help at all
You're motionless and lookin’ up, but you're much too far down the well

As the years go on, the more I see
Hung up people cling to me
But I'm not something to lean on; I need to stand on my own two feet These lives are strangely our own
Some of us always feel alone
But we’ve got to try to travel the unknown
I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves
When days grow dark, use your head There's better places than your bed (yeah)
The first step, is always hard, when you feel like you're not in charge I can't hear you out
Lower your guard
They say that time heals all
But only to those who’ve broke down their wall
I’m here anytime, just pick up the phone and give me a call
I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves I'd love to help all the broken people But I can't, they've got to help themselves

The Diener

He's up late, cleaning what remains, steel tray filled with things to clean the stains
Lock it up, shut it down, nobody left in this one horse town
His reflection in the table reminds him of the cradle of his life before He thinks back to the minute, never will forget it, his story you can't ignore
Had a nice life, lived upstate, had a dog and a house and a white picket gate
One day there was a woman at the door, in a dark suit like his daddy once wore,
“Open before it’s too late; this collection is past it’s due date, I've been cheated one too many times. This life you owe to pay for your crimes.”
“Please, leave me be! You'll get what you want, but in good time. But if it’s not enough, I relinquish all my sunny days!”
His life is still his own, slaves away every day, paying back his loan She took it all as interest on the call, paid collect by the diener at mausoleum hall
Now his days are spent taking names as the dead shuffle through the door
To those with souls, to you he does implore;
“Please learn from me! You'll get what you want but in good time. Even if it’s not enough, cherish all of those sunny days!”

Transparent trails, tangent and convergent
The man emerges, the opaque hills behind him
He’s begun his journey, with an optimistic stride Progressin’ and displacin’
Himself in the unknown
He loathes the significance of his passage, and bets his humanity on the destination
He’s aware of the danger that lies ahead, but he knows that death’s not the end
He approaches whisper ridge, and begins to scale He prays that his courage will prevail
A pestilent cloud, falls from the peak
His blood runs cold, and his knees grow weak
“I won't pay your toll, I've gone thus far
I'll endure the tribulation, and advance through the dark”
