As swift as they come our reality strikes
we try to define what is around us instead of just existing
we're always asking who made us and what goes beyond the stars
I used to question it all until I realized the truth
every choice that we make puts us on a path to a certain destiny
we make more than one choice to each question we come across
but a part of us is only conscious for one of the choices
because of the world we are in and the people that we are around
we have trouble focusing on all of the options that are acted out
so we look to the one that is easiest to see
we are universal
our own God
we construct all that we have
subconsciously we make everything happen in our movie that we play out
and our conscious acts it out
we come down to this universe as a gray
no tainted thoughts
no influence
no decisions made
completely pure and innocent
and as we live
we begin to gain a blend of black and white
balance is key
we continue an infinite cycle that only multiplies more and more
there is no end
and the beginning was only the beginning of a new thought
time is only a human thing
So one would ask if it never ends then what's the point?
The point is to continue the story
to live
to love
to be happy
Those are the cherished elements
the most powerful elements
they are the best of reality
the rest you must feel so that you may understand
so you may help others see too
we are here together
and when we die
we will still be together
though there will be distance between us
we all will still make a part of the balance
that is our purpose
To just.......be

Paint it fades
Shelf’s collapsing off the walls
A painted face
Skin is peeling it comes off

Shed the light
Leave the pain
A feathers sorrow in the rain
A wilted flower yet seeds remain
To grow and rise again and again

A grievance
A responsibility
Change has come so blessed be
To those alive to carry a legacy

Share the freedom
Compassionate wisdom
Braid the heritage into blood
Threaded carefully from what was

Glory has passed a torch and flame
That eternally burns but never the same
I ask you truly what is in a name
After all is said and done
What path, what way, what home did you make?

My grandfather made a path into all of your hearts, and that is where he is. This is his home.

R.I.P. Grandpa Ken
**Taiji**
The working man gets home at night
after working nine to nine
He's trying to make it

We're speaking out all around the world
reaching out to every boy and girl
who's trying to make it

The homeless hunger
while the rich are fed
why can't we just share the bread
we're all trying to make it

Mom and dad tell you what to do
because they care to see you pull through
as they're trying to make it

Here we are driving out on the road
looking out into the unknown
just trying to make it

I'm singing to you reaching out so far
all alone in the house with my guitar
while I'm trying to make it

You can judge a brother and his ways
but in the end we're all the same
just trying to make it

God can you please open up
the hearts of many that need your love
because we're all trying to make it

Just trying to make it
**FadedFate**
What if stars were
Giants so large we couldn't see them walking
And voices so loud we can't even hear them talking
Beings so high we only see them spin
Yet we only find the truth within
Breathing in the spectrum while waves pulsate in tempo
To the patterns heaven plays with the weather and its reflection
I could contemplate the motion of the sky
But it wouldn't take the ache away that wakes the soul inside
A moment in desire will wake the egos fire
And the way this system was designed if we temper we’ll burn higher
I try to Stay away from gains that make us consumed by currency
Because it only makes everything feel like a sudden sense of urgency
May a Blade be sharpened by the still and patient warrior
Complacent expectations makes the act laborious
So practice makes perfect, its been said a thousand times
Yet somehow we only remember after opportunities arise
You can say you know
Have you felt it in your bones?
That pure electric feeling coming from experience alone
Step back and observe the trails walked before you
Maybe the path you seek has already been laid out for you
Or maybe it was never there, no steps to see no sea to fare
Perhaps your destiny is to create it and bear the duty to share
*BeTheTruth*
The enchantment of wonder, imagination and wander
energy within every organism
molecular structure and chemistry betwixt
creation and destruction
balance and disorder
transformation to disintegration
Fire, Water, Earth and Wind
Blade to Staff to Stars to tongue
Knowledge and interpretation
Innocence to experience
Below and above
In and out
slanted and straight
divine and human
good and evil and everything between
light and darkness
realms of all kinds
Mind
Body
Spirit
connecting and detaching
protecting and attacking
magic and physics
true and false
justice and criminal
infinitesimal to astronomical
destiny is our own yet set......
**FadedFate**
represent yourself as vicious
bare your fangs
strike down the innocent
you define a beast...not the wolf

when you prowl on victims
take life without remorse
and let rage control you
you are an animal...not the wolf

when you are cunning, swift
protect the weak
howl in the spirit of the wild....you are the wolf

when you're mysterious
calm with power
leading with purpose....you are the wolf

A wolf knows family
A wolf knows instinct
A wolf knows wild
A wolf knows what guides them

my guide is not the wolf...I am the wolf and I am guided by destiny.
**FadedFate**
Hear me out lately
Ya know the dark storm is coming
it's closing out the lighted sky
without a sound
yeah the beast is a rumblin
through the thunder hear his cries
challenging me to fight
and I won't pass it down

Yeah he won't spin me around
the devil is on my back
and I find
I'm weak and blind when he attacks
and sometimes
I give in to temptress gaze
releasing reason to the animal's instinct

Listen close baby
hear my guitar strumming
whisper off the tainted words
like it's not a crime
yeah here he comes a creepin
binding down the house
collapsing all of the walls
twisted down to the ground

Yeah he won't spin me around
the devil is on my back
and I find
I'm weak and blind when he attacks
and sometimes
I give in to temptress gaze
releasing reason to the animal's instinct

Oh you can slither all you want inside
but I will never let you out
contain the burning blades I seek to sacrifice
though it causes all the pain and scars
that toughen out my hide
the stronger I become to hold on through the night
I will never die...

Yeah he won't spin me around
the devil is on my back
and I find
I'm weak and blind when he attacks
and sometimes
I give in to temptress gaze
releasing reason to the animal's instinct
reflecting seasons into the end of days
**FadedFate**
Can you see the leaves are falling?
Just before a cloud of snow
Can you hear the children calling?
Wipe the dust of growing old

Let me show you what's on the mind
Grab a hold because you're in for a ride
Don't lose control
Because the body will just roll on down, to the sound
Earn is to learn
You got to learn before the burn alright, dance tonight

Whirlwind decide to make a mess of all the stars again
Direction changing
Who knows the truth of where we are?
Here's to hoping that the ground doesn't come up from underneath of me
These thoughts develop steps to harmony
Shift within the cycles
So we finally belong
**FadedFate**
I should be writing this down
but I'm afraid that I soon might forget
after already constructing a purpose
the action must be acted
very thought provoked
I could make a big success
if I were to get passed the clumsy mess
of road blocks and melting clocks slowly turning away
So many ideas waiting to be unleashed
but ****** mind doesn't move very well
not unless the tide growls from the belly

Well this piece of paper isn't really blank at all
just a blurry life in motion with lines you catch on the wall
one tries to follow, but will only find
they're chasing themselves
in the blink of an eye
**Faded Fate**

When will I realize there is no enemy
I'm only caught up in a cage of my own dualities
It's not the only time I realize we're all standing here
But it's the only time that I see what needs to be said clear

I walk into a battle field before I come home

This is the moment where you take this story for as it is
Another book in life that takes you for a ride to glory or hell
So when it comes into time, on which line, which side will you choose?

I walk into a battle field before I come home

I'm only speaking in the tongues that give you the remedy
Come on and listen in, together my friend comes the clarity
What are you waiting for? A miracle is always happening
Oh you can't afford to let it all slip away

Don't run away
Your troubles will double and finally catch up to you
There is no hiding now
Don't look to the other guy
It all comes down to seeing yourself in a different way
So stand in front of the mirror
Just take a look and see what I see

I walk into a battle field before I come home
**FadedFate**
