A Marathon In My Mind
Is this feeling a good thing?
thinking nonstop
wondering
questioning
Were is this going
will it happen
man I just wanna be
without trying
without lying
stop all the criticism
replace it with optimism
love without chaos
joy without pain
listen to the rain
fall against the chain link fence outside
stop!
just lay down with dogs
take on the flees
quit running from the discussion of the birds and the bees
fall to your knees
feel the breeze brush against your body
as if it was just a tease
stop trying to please
those who continue to leave
drop them down like a cold hard frown
chip the ice off your heart
dig in deep
see what you find
are you awake or asleep
down on the ground
looking all around
getting back up
trying not to fall down
stumble with the boundary
just don't fumble
trying to be humble
they say your gullible
prove em wrong
go long all the way
do what you have to do
pay what you have to pay
the price is less
then the loss that may
Rejoice in the sound of the bell at the end
Have you won
Did you win
Their loss is your gain
Play the game
don’t sustain
Be all you can be
Until you find all of that which remains
Running through your veins
Like water down a vine
Possibly loosing your mind
Train of thought seems so divine
Try to replace everything that you have lost in this foggy hays
Stop living life from gaze to gaze
Going day by day
Running every which way
Getting lost beneath the bay
Where no one can find you
Or try to fine you
For what you have done
They consider it wrong
But it was just a song
Words on a page
Turned into something real
So true
So threw
So in and out
Like a musical note
Through and through
Disgusted at the likes of you
Who cares what they think
In this case its not their thought that counts
But instead all those around
Lost and feeling bound
By tears that fall
Parents who never call
Children that get lost in the mall
Hurry punch down that wall
On the other side
Is a brand new law
One that brings knowledge of peace
With out a trace of fait sealed by disease
These are things I wont stand to see
You look at me like I am the fool
Even though I am not the one drowning in my own drool
I don’t try to impress by looking like a tool
I use my mind
Which posses
That which caused mankind to rule
A lyrical assassin
More like a man filled with passion
My heart desires love with out ache
A world without give me that and take
The air I breathe is polluted with smoke and smog
Crazy thick is the fog
Out side my window
Looking through an hour glass
Watching the sand fall
As you think and recall
All those times
No one helped you up after they saw you fall
Were am I going with this
Anywhere and everywhere I can
I want it out there
For you to listen to on demand as you please
Feel free to be blown away
By the wind that knocks down the sin
A barrier harder than brick
Bigger than a canyon
Enriched by dominance
Of the proud and the wicked
Pushed away
By those who see through all the grey
So you say you want it your way
But have you ever even considered what it would be like if you saw it my way.
