In a far and distant galaxy
Inside my telescope I see
A pair of eyes look back at me
He walks and talks and looks like me
Sits around inside his house
From room to room he moves about
Fills his life with pointless things
And wonders how it all turns out

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Safe to say that

I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time worth spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it

Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
To terrify, to find a thing
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sound
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Safe to say that

I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time worth spent
Or time I've wasted...

Clearing my mind
Losing my friends
Follow my fears
Do it again
You say how, do, you do
Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
To be free
To be son
To be killed
To be saved
In my head, I'm alone
I'm un-dead, I'm ashamed
Just like you, I've been tryin'
To be scared
In my bones, I feel cold
I give this to the lord in the sea
In this street
Let me go
Let me be, I don't need
To be here, I'm alone
Can't you see? Can't you see?

I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time worth spent
Or time I've wasted...
Don't waste it


Success follows a believer
Like truth that cannot hide
For he contains all the elements
That turn every situation right

Forgiveness and healing
That alone is a sign
Of a person stronger
More than you and I

Success is that person who falls down
And gets right back up again
Grabbing at all opportunities
That happen to blow in on the wind

The Lord provides the recipe
And bestows the ingredients too
You don't have to look far
Love and work hard honestly

Yes, the Lord helps those that help themselves
To the blessings He provides
When it comes down to it above all else
That is true success in life

Is this leading to where destiny projected
Lifetime ago was a memory now barely collected
Motivation  is currently only a currency in hand
It's grew a life now only I can understand.
I can't seem reactive or distanced at my state...
Moving towards a future I once thought was great
Is this what I am becoming or a gross mutation
Where I can't draw the line is success or relation
Great men had to pay dues I assume this is a percentage of success
While I slowly gain more it seems have have less and less
Charity and kindness are the cards up my sleeve.
But **** it success you can now leave.....
I'm a failure a peasant a beggar a child....
Unwilling to conform crazy and wild....
You see me at a distance and that's where you don't comprehend
That I have all I need I will always win in the end.....
A measure of success is not a numbers game....
It never said a promise of glory or fame.....
Be your own promise the person loved ones believe
And success will be yours.... never to leave .......

Risking it all
or "doing your best"
Does not always
guarantee 'success'

Success
is
achieving
the
future
you
envisioned
for
yourself

Life's a *****, I'm a different breed.
A mutt, running a muck; Just tryin to do me.
Survival of the fittest; makes sense to me.
**** of be killed; the truth will be seen.
Apparently, people aren't what they appear to be;
two-faced, that's a pair to me.
"I got your back," Roger that, clearly.
Family ties, not suited for me, as of late
No relations to me, so as far as we relate,
It's yet to be seen. Tears, Tearing you apart;
Aren't always what they appear to be.
Just another means for your lies; to slide by.
You ain't fooling me. Human instinct;
Turned too cruelty. Cover ups,
To make-up - Truthfully -
You care more about yourself,
So selfishly. Success; It's either you- or me.

Luminous starshine drips
from the sky and
cascades freely toward
the mundane world
and
,with no hesitation,
ceaselessly pours enchanting
inspiration into the
empty wasteland that
is
my ink pen.
