look me in the eyes when you say im telling lies
but just about everybody's fronting some disguise
takes time to realize, we're the same: you and I
feeling separated by these boarders we divide
this hatred been created, sometimes humans i despise
but love is all i've got, you can see it in my eyes
hope that when we meet, it reaches from my vibe
ask me if you care, not too much i try and hide
except some pains i've felt, tend to lock them deep inside
blade across my veins, then melt like getting high
i know that its hard not to judge until you've tried
still i've learned so much from those days i'd rather die
like there goes half my pride, see these lessons been applied
now passions got the place of rage, bleeding on the page
these self expressive ways let me spread my wings and fly
now its long winter nights and my eyes open wide
live some inner light, cause inside it resides
clouded by our ego, and its thoughts up in our mind
jihad's the greatest struggle, yet one all of us can find
we all were made from rubble, so everythings divine
look up in the night - see the stars? they're aligned
so if you're walking with your spine, then in time you will shine

these sleepless nights seem like an endless fight
its now at leastly bi-weekly
wonder what i'm not quite doing right
its always a little freaky when
morning light creeps up beneath me
all day long, i've been feeling pretty sleepy
but now that i'm in bed, dreams just don't wanna reach me
maybe for the life i've led, life just wants to teach me
spend more time alone in my head, cause life ain't easy
looking to my past, start feeling a little queasy
took a bottle full of pills made to make me sleepy
blacked out, acted like a zombie for a week see
the time i can't remember never seems to leave me
four am on the clock like its just trying to tease me
but life will move on, thats all i need to ease me
cause no matter what the time, its never gonna leave me

i was born in the spring of nineteen ninety two,
decade seemed to fly by, so i just did what i had to do
i was becoming a product of what my culture told me
and could define myself by the materials it sold me
like a box that had been designed just to hold me
but as i started growing older, the world seemed colder
things i started learning felt like weight up on my shoulder
like this land we've grown up on isn't even ours
for wiping out a culture we deserve to be - hind bars
growing up, i was taught to bleed red white and blue,
but these ideals that they've given me aren't even close to true
corrupt politicians with their beneath the table deals
money for elections means so long for the ideals
government may be the truck, but business is the wheels
oil makes us go to war, but with official seals
i sure as hell may not be proud to be an american,
but i'll say it with pride.
i just want a place
where we all can reside
man i just want a place
where we all can reside
i feel like they've put me in a box just to hide
trapped by my own mind, from the inside
they say that only seeing is believing
i see so many others with the same feeling
soon we'll all push through this glass ceiling
then it'll be time for the healing
but i gotta ask myself what i wanna see
we gotta all decide on how we wanna be
its probably the right time to redefine free
thats a job for everyone, not just you and me
heres an idea, just how i would want to live
everyone gets their share, but in return you gotta give
we've got millions of people, each smart and unique
yet we're all just little drones, its pretty bleak
why not a system where we all get to speak
and no one again is ever called a freak
we're all beautiful
and we all deserve to live

To exist in the present. Its my one goal in this crazy life
its let me become who i am, and put down the knife
right now I can plan for the future, learn from the past
life’s greatest blessing is that it doesn’t move too fast
find the difference between what I control, and what to just let be
accept whats happening right now. thats what it means to be free
heavens gates may be locked, but my soul holds the key
only patience lets us branch out, i learned that from a tree
it doesn’t matter what i think, or what i think i know
doesn’t matter where i’ve been, or where i’m gonna go
doesn’t matter if its delight or pure fear
all that really matters is that its here
and its the only thing that i see completely clear

grandpa the truth is, I don't think of you all too often
when i heard the news, i half expected a coffin
i'm the first to admit, that that's slanting pretty low
when your half expecting you own family to go
i feel bad, ashamed of myself, cause its wrong
someone so close, just let them be, say so long
one eighth of mine is your blood, like a partial genetic clone
we're family, and always will be, it could be written in stone
so heres a sincere apology, i've kept you all to distant
and you have done the same, don't think that i've missed it
its neither of our faults, its just the way its gone down
so better late than never, why not turn it around?
i want to get to know you, and you the same to me
on a deeper level than just the eye can see
you've walked down a long road, almost eighty years now
thinking of what we haven't had, i just can't fight the tears now
cause i love you, and i can feel it with my heart
so my real hope is that this letter's just the start
of a relationship thats always been carved in stone
its about time we pick them up, and take them home

depression. its a battle i once faught
not really, but thats what i once thought
the truth is, its never gonna leave me, cause its always gonna need me
i still get down and always will, so when i do, its always gonna feed me
the world wants me to fight it, to beat it away
to let it know that it has no place to stay
but thats not true, cause its a part of me
and accepting thats like paying the hardest fee
so taking a pill each morning might help me see things 'the right way'
but its still gonna surface, not like each day can be the bright day
i know thats it normal, and i'm leaning to embrace it
rather than fighting and pushing, trying to replace it
cause when i get down, man i fall through the floor
i lock my heart in a room, and it breaks down the door
emotions are living, they want to spread wings and soar
and i know thats its true, cause i feel them right to my core

originality. its become a long lost art
so don’t expect this to come from my heart
all the cookie cut out people, with their cookie cut out jobs
and their cookie cut out problems, their cookie cut out sobs
i’m not a real person, and neither are you
its a ***** to admit, but you know its true
we’re all raised to grow up and get paid
so one day a girl will show up to get laid
have a few kids, and the love starts to fade
it makes me want to puke, and call out for aid
but i’m bakin’ in the oven, can’t ****** see out
so i’ll try to keep on lovin’, and try not to pout
tears start to pour, like god turned on the spout
cause i can’t figure out what this life’s about
so god if you hear this i think i’m about done cookin’
but i bet your almighty nothingness aint even lookin’
cause we’re all alone in this world, trying to find our way
and if we’re lucky, we’ll make it thru to the end of the day
an accountant or some **** man whatever pays
this hypocritical cookie’s getting lost in a maze
there’s no need for creativity when all that matters is productivity
and i’ll speak but won’t dare to act, is that a product of inactivity?
**** the world, man i say tupac had it right
thats all i can say, already given-up this fight

Shed a couple tears like a summer morning rain
post it on the internet so all can feel your pain
but no one really cares because everyones the same
pretend to be your friend when lifes a one man game
so cut it out in pieces, like a folded paper snowflake
live life by the moment, and you’ll always have a retake
cause the past is behind us, and the futures yet to come
so lets let that remind us, that there is no need to run
its just an oath to bind us, swear to always have some fun
and live with more energy than a bullet shot from a gun
so **** the summer rain, turn it to a mid april storm
let the tears run until you’re finally feeling warm
lifes one big roller coaster, full of ups and downs
so don’t even worry, soon enough it’ll turn around
