Silence is what we all need for a minute

Dyin' is what we want to avoid while we're livin'

Life and tryin' to make some noise

The screams sort of seem like we're cryin'

Reaching towards our dreams, I offer an exhausted sigh

And rhymin' keeps the posture of my back in fair condition

But why in the world do I do this music when so few people listen?

Climbin' a mountain that might eventually crumble

It's a bumpy ride into that light side of life where no one goes

Violence saturates our surroundings, my heart is pounding

I am one of the strong that noticed the sirens sounding

Strivin' to wake you up, so we can grow to maturity

While we're all buyin' the government's repent from social security

Wine and cigarettes promote good life, bad health and tax

I am one of the strong, but also in the same trap

Exercisin' my brain

Realizin' that pain will be arrivin'

If I dive into the cesspool of my mind

So I'm rewindin' the recorded version of my conscience repeatedly

Not easily blinded

Nor do I find it hard to ignore you weakling's weep

I shine with this terrific, twisted piece of metal

Strangely changing climate as they increase the level

I said I wouldn't sign shit, 'cause I don't want to meet the devil

But I lost my mind, and I'm tryin' to find it in the dimension of space 

between bass and treble

Shattered is my existence, in so many pieces I can't count

Chatter is the substance that comes from most people's mouth

Matter is what you don't to me, he don't to she, we don't to we

But hopefully we can gather together and figure out what life's about

Patterns of emotion change shape from different situations

Lanterns shed light on the dark side of imagination

Scattered is good and evil, through various people and areas of the ego

But we know we can be peaceful with the right participation

Now batters, stay behind the base and get ready for the pitch

Rappers mold their soul into plastic and get filthy rich

The ladder to paradise is infested with parasites

And if you don't ride in the carriage right, you would swear that life's a bitch



[Refrain x6]

Nothing gets you nowhere

But everything gets you somewhere

One pair of shoes is great compared to two feet tryin' to run bare
