Reawakening

All these years I have been conscious
with eyes open and a upright
I’ve answered when questions are asked
although not always right

I’ve seen the sun in the morning
and the moon at night
felt pure darkness
and bathed in brilliant light

I have known joy and love.
Felt sorrow and despair
I’ve taken in life
the same as my lungs draw in air

Though I have been conscious
with eyes open and upright
Only for a short time
Have I truly been awake and in the light

When vision gets clouded with pain
and our life’s a chore
We sleep and forget
we’ve been given so much more

Others to love, grieve with and this life share
Our mind reawakened
not without cost
The same as all that is rare

Those

Those who work are working
Those who won’t are lurking
Those who live are living
Those who die are dying

Those who fear are fearing
Those whom spin are spinning
Those who lie are lying
Those who aren’t are not buying

Those who want are trying
Those who won’t are crying 
Those who believe you can’t
Those who achieve in spite of the rant

Those who live are living
To give to those who need giving
Those whom decided they are dying
Have already given up even trying

Wealth

I will move on before you
Don’t shed a single tear
I’ve always known
I would see these things before
Would move to hold and indear

I never really wanted to
Had wished to just play dumb
Had wished to ignore the truth
That I will see the next
Before it comes

I’ve always known
That there was more than here
That I was meant to be somewhere else
Never really wanted to
Accept the cost of all this wealth

That’s why I always played along
Quick to joke and laugh
Fast to speak and much to do
I always knew
This couldn’t last

Best of me

Intro/chorus
I hope you know you got the best of me
Now stick around for the rest of me
I was sick and tired of even the best of things
I woke up and found out what was bothering me

I woke up and got down!

V1
I’m back and spinning new yarns to critical masses
Mediocrity is in session and it seems its been teaching people classes
So I’m willing all my people to get right up off their asses
Transcend this narrative replace it with explinitives and finally take out all the trash(es)

Rise from the ashes its a new day, a new way of preforming the act of being human
Nothings new man, under sun its all been done yet we still are one, still alot of fun underneath that very same sun its not done with us quite yet

Chorus

I hope you know you got the best of me
Now stick around for the rest of me
I was sick and tired of even the best of things
I woke up and found out what was bothering me

I woke up and got down!

Went from winning it to beginning and beginning and beginning it
but I never quit it so I just keep on throwing down.
throwing demons around there’s plenty in this town that know the sound of a child of light prepared to go 10 rounds
that strength comes from no compromise, no stray from the line that divides the weak from those who suffer the truth and feel the knaw of the tooth
prepared for the pain its no strain, nothing strange just the way ive always been living, thankful for this life I’ve been given so I keep on swinging for the fences, shoveling the trenches and reaching for my redemption.

(Chorus)

I hope you know you got the best of me
Now stick around for the rest of me
I was sick and tired of even the best of things
I woke up and found out what was bothering me

I woke up and got down!

Homeward

Home is where your heart is at any given hour.

Past old memories and scars that still hold their power.

You only find the place you’ve been looking for after you ask.

 Pride lies to your mind, this is the place where we finally move past.

You’ll know when you’ve arrived because you are fulfilled at last.

Home is where your heart is at any given hour.
