Look both ways before every step, but the end is coming from above You took precaution, you did your best, but danger fits you like a glove Angels to your left show you their hate, to the right demons show you love We are who we are, but look either way and you decide that you've had enough I had a thought the other day that seems hardly worth mentioning I doubt I should say it, but the air's feeling menacing I fear I saw an apparition, but it could have been anything Be careful, penitentiaries aren't made for the penitent If the unrepentant rose up and begged for salvation Would the nations come together in a dark celebration That could occupy the time we once spent on occupations And all creation could cycle into a state of creating I know I'm being vague but it's hard to describe what I mean When I say there's vibes in real life that belong only in dreams I think I'm seeing time splitting apart at the seams I always seem to find meaning in the most meaningless things I'm swinging at kings and flinging my rings as I'm shaking my fist 'til they're tied up in slings Beating down bedsprings, greeting my brethren They're feeding me medicine, they're pulling my strings Look both ways before every step, but the end is coming from above You took precaution, you did your best, but danger fits you like a glove Angels to your left show you their hate, to the right demons show you love We are who we are, but look either way and you decide that you've had enough Please don't remind me 'cause my memories bind me And in truth I improve when my past is behind me I need proof that the person I was will not find me That youth knew not the scope of the task he assigned me Who's more aloof than a master of disguise? I designed The perfect crime, made sure to connect all the lines Protecting my lies in the back of my mind Though I'm always honest, I break promises to myself all the time Slow down the pace, embrace the dark parts of nature Throw down in case we need to pay off the dictator Throw up in case that place we ate at was paid off and Lawyer up in case I end up being tried as a traitor I'd like to paint you- hang the picture in my jail cell All else fails, at least I'd have something to say when My bunkmate raises the debate of just what I have to pray about I can do without pain- I'll behave, I know I'm not getting bailed out Look both ways before every step, but the end is coming from above You took precaution, you did your best, but danger fits you like a glove Angels to your left show you their hate, to the right demons show you love We are who we are, but look either way and you decide that you've had enough

He hunts for me like I'm lunch meat- I must be I'm in my front seat, gunning it, getting out of the country Running from what must be punishment- just punch me I mean pinch, I'm dreaming, it was just a slip of the tongue, see? I'm hungry for something more- no, it's not the munchies I'm coming up with nothing but I have begun wondering Every time it thunders who it is that 's humbling Don't mind the rumbling, that's just my universe crumbling Thoughts are bubbling up from the surface Troubling me, making me question my purpose Though I'm opposed to pre-destiny, I can always rehearse Some kind of grand speech at the end to make everything worth it Don't be nervous- you are impervious to curses You can reverse their direction just by electing to purchase An opinion unsullied by men, women, warlocks or merchants The car lurches- resurrected, I am swerving on purpose Wake up, good morning, time for reeducation Time to take a wire brush to the nation Scrape away the lies and all of the scum Time to get smart and stop playing dumb Wipe away the filth that blinds your eyes See past the front and realize We have the power to keep our spirit alive Swarming bees around a hive A few get in, the rest are left to die Just not enough to go around While the church bells ring that hollow sound Just more lies and means of control Your soul can't be free if you don't pay the toll So wake the fuck up and free your mind Use your head and you'll see the signs Conspiracies and plots of evil minds That would bring about the end of mankind The truth is out there, it's yours to find Throw the gloves off and get ready to fight Time to stand up and unleash our might Hanging by the string of a runaway kite That's caught in a storm with no end in sight (the chatter of infinite possibilities) I'm back in drive, thriving, radio blaring I'm polluting the airwave but it's not like anyone's hearing it Just what's the criteria for mass hysteria? We've only been here a few thousand years, but screw that Let's just go tear it up Who cares if you can hear a tree fall down in the forest? We need that land to develop something much more important A temple of gold in which to worship the corporate entity That controls whether or not Earth can afford it I'm painting a portrait of this world in its heyday So someday when my great-great-great-great-grandkids Pay my head a visit in its jar up on their shelf it can say, "In my day, I had to walk a quarter mile to a Savway…"

My body is warm but there is cold in my bones I'm having trouble letting go of the notion of home I am present and still but I am yearning to roam In these emotional throes, my devotion only grows To the motion and movement and constant improvement Of the ocean and moon, the revolutions of universes The cosmos- all I can do is try to attune to it All we are is moving through it, I want to be part of the music You aren't being used- you can't be abused by pure energy Instead, you'll brought close to your friends and your enemies And without saying anything, without anger or avenging The pain will all end on the day that we learn everything You don't need to look twice 'cause the light will find you Just let time go, just let your mind slow Close your eyes, find the flow, you know all you need to know You are opening a door and the light is inside you You don't need to look hard 'cause the light will find you Just let your mind slow, just let time go Close your eyes, find the flow, you know all you need to know You are opening a door and the light is inside you Listen, I can't stress the importance of poor taste I'd rather kiss you at a missile launch than under mistletoe or doorways What I consider permissible is permission, but I felt pitiful When they insisted as the restaurant I leave due to too much fork-play Okay, I'll go away, I don't want a court case I can't afford to stay, but wait, I still have to pay for my dinner bill And though I didn't get my fill, I guess that's the way it goes But maybe someday We'll be at a place where race, creed, and taste in medicine Don't matter to anybody as long as nobody hurts anyone Can we align our actions with our intentions So that majorities and minorities can all have their way, and then some? I should mention, I never paid attention in history The failings of man in the past to me are a mystery Or maybe I forgot them intentionally, so instead of insisting I have the solutions for victory, I could just shut up and be listening You don't need to look twice 'cause the light will find you Just let time go, just let your mind slow Close your eyes, find the flow, you know all you need to know You are opening a door and the light is inside you You don't need to look twice 'cause the light will find you Just let your mind slow, just let time go Close your eyes, find the flow, you know all you need to know You are opening a door and the light is inside you Do not doubt it- you cannot live without it You may not be about it, but you're always all around it You are a prophet- you can't allot it, you've just got it You may not be positive, but don't be negative, there are no opposites I'm not dodging- but there is no definition You just feel it in your bones, you just feel it in the rhythm Call it heaven, call it soul, maybe call it good decisions But one thing is for sure, and that;s that everyone is in it You don't need to look hard 'cause the light will find you Just let your mind slow, just let time go Close your eyes, find the flow, you know all you need to know You are opening a door and the light is inside you
