1. Always Now
Time to live, time to die
Time to escape
Always now
Live to breathe
I'm a part of everything, a part of everyone
I see it in you
Change, the color of change
In you, the color of change
Mind's eye blue
Soul to see through
I see it in you - the color of change
A part of everthing, apart of everyone
Take a step-look inside
See what a new perspective will provide
Open mind-open door
Never after, never before
Always now
A part of everything, a part of everyone
Everything, everyone
2. Primal
Animal senses come alive
Hunger grows from deep inside
Instinctual, obey the appetite
Don't mistake instinct for rage
The weak are falling prey to a stronger way
Fear cannot overcome a stronger will
The weak are falling prey to a stronger way
Fear cannot overcome a stornger will
3. Natural Defense
This cancer disguised as man
Eats way all that's green
Replacing it with monuments
Cities, things obscene
Concrete-like callused skin
Suffocates-the earth our planet
In defense-kills man
Perfect, thriving, self contained
Unprepared for greed
Alien race intervended
And planted a tumor seed
And for the human race
Life is terminal disease
Man a mere pare in earth's history
Her power shall be hailed, shall be hailed
4. Blame
I blame you for not blaming yourself
Through truth's eyes you run and hide
Responsibility pushed aside
You show up in a court of law
Bearing proud parent disguise
With a breifcase full of lawyers to
Back up all your lies
Insted of listening to records
Backwards in an attempt to shift
The blame you should have listened
To the cries for help
Now accept you failed
Accept the shame
You can't soothe your conscience
At the expense of artistic expression
You can't blame the sins of your
Children on the sholders of society
Alienate and neglect all that you've
Conceived transcend your values
Generations explore
Extend your own future in their own
Form the Medias's image of disbelief
For so many of us its easy to see
The end result of stupidity
5. Headspace
A quest for peace - the many that are me
A constant fight, which one is right
If they'd only agree - headspace
Headspace, behind my face
You can never come inside
My real home, where my thoughts roam
Just me, myself and I
Out of touch, life's too much, too much to think
Headspace, invisible race of one
All at once or one alone, walking or asleep
A private place, a sacred space
When I've had too much to think
Never ending drone
conversations running deep
Headpace, a change of pace
Somewhere for me to hide
Secrets to confide, a place for me to hide
Secrets to confide, a place for me, myself and I
A place for me
6. Falling Down
Like a wounded soldier
Crawling on hands and knees
I follow my insides into the dirt
Face first
Chocking on life's lessons I bleed
As a warrior I make my last stand
For that part of my life
Hands raised to the heavens
I prepare to sacrifice
Boy dies to bekome man, a man
Where is the sun that will warm me?
My search begins
With icy fingers that hide my face
On that day I cold never forget
I stood high, became one with myself
I am now man, and my thoughts do matter
Outer visions melting
7. Statement
More natural to this earth
Than either you or I
Planted by a god who is never definded
To bring peace into our lives
To bring peace into our lives
A saving grace for the human race
Raped, and I just don't understand, raped
The social poison invades
A saving grace for the human race
Raped, and I just don't understand, raped
