lyrics

Imagine :

No matter how much I say
feels like i'm always keeping so much!
Eventually one day these words I will throw up.
I guess accepting failure is part of growing up,
but when your young and dumb you just don't know enough.
You think of showing off,
your never slowing down.
You just keep rolling up,
until things fall apart
and everything is dark,
you have to find the light,
start looking for your heart,
he'll show you your'e the spark!
It is so hard to be.
No matter who you are,
wether your lost at sea
or reaching for the stars.
Life is a strange journey,
made of sudden change.
Where people save money,
thinking it kills the pain.
They're only saving waste,
when they don't face their fears.
Every story is made of a million tears!
You have to feel sadness,
to understand the joy.
You don't know what comes after,
so let yourself enjoy.

I'm looking for the light but it's not approaching
and everywhere I should I keep my mind from going!
The kingdom of my dreams that no rules can conquer,
is sitting at my feet yet I don't move, I wonder.

Dr Koul :

It's like no matter how many darn words I use
I already spent my energy and burned my fuse.
I wish I'd opted for silence;
So they can never co-opt my rhymes.
Was I lying or did they turn us confused?
I seek asylum from a position of privilege,
Off a ledge into an abyss,
From a smile into a blurred worldview.
We hurl ourselves through into oblivion,
Leaving behind the obvious crime of murdering truth.
It's inescapable,
We're incapable of relating to the aims we were chasing
When we retrace it and see it's all replaceable.
Pain was in the mainframe, offered a way out
We maintain the game until it plays out,
Labeled as insane.
Taken from the face of disdain, to lame and pitiful,
Tables have changed place with ridicule,
We all remain part of the ritual, making art of residual shame,
You're in a duel with a devil that's invisible: take aim.
