in this world,
expectations are rarely met
especially, if you dare to dream to set 'em high
way above the standard,
the so-called protocol
but isn't that what we're supposed to do,
in this lifetime of ours, last hours or not?
when the temperature rises
and the plate gets hot
you start to see the true colors
in folks you once felt close
those you care about the most
and one by one turn their backs on you
put their own priorities ahead of you
when you know for a fact,
you know for a fact
you would put your life on the line for them
even in the craziest of situations,
without hesitation like in a blink of a fly's eye
thats right, ain't no two ways about it
ay yo, I really do mean this
at the end of the day
its like yeah, here we go again
how does it feel to be alone at night
you gotta keep at it
when nobody's watching in the audience
if only I had an angel like a guardian
to guide me to the path, so lost
like a stray dog without a place to call home
roaming the streets for a scene long gone
no familiar faces or friendly tones
but then, but then, but then, but then, but then
I put my headphones on and play my song
and then, and then, and then, and then...
I can come run to you
and tell you the kind of things
that most would never know
cause they won't even show
an interest to hear
this here is like a prayer
except I don't wait for a reply
the timing is already perfect
when I'm down and out,
on the ground licking wounds
some old, some new
you come through and be a real mate
with care unlimited, unconditional
nuff of the trade-offs and calculated talks
just take a walk, face lit by the full moon
and sit by the oak tree, put my head at ease,
then I release
all the pent up energy
let the eyes secrete,
and to know for the first time
that everything is free like it ought to be
clear the mist of miscellaneous data
on my mental desktop
foreground music, blast melodramatic
the feedback is automatic
rocks the body electric
it makes you wanna say
fuck sex, it's the ultimate high
original organic till the day that I die
ecstasy, poetry in motion
brain drug factory churning out the potions
catalyst for a runaway chain reaction
designed to give that pure satisfaction
trigger a moment
much bigger than life, defined by the media alike
what I like and I dont like?
disconnect, reconnect to the channels I want
to receive the feed of rush delivery
to the vessel, fly ride like a fleet enterprise
Di lo que quieras, cariño
No, no lo sientes
¿Por qué preocuparse ahora que ya lo he superado?
¿Perdería la fe en este mundo?
¿Así que no me prepararé para otra caída?
nah porque he visto muchos adultos
todo amargo, palabras llenas de pesimismo y cinismo
sea cual sea la razón debajo de la superficie
una fuerza oscura cobró un precio en una mente joven
podría haber sido un caso de un corazón destrozado
cortesía de alguien en quien confiaba profundamente
o podría haber sido una imagen de la esclavitud moderna
pintado para ellos desde el vivero
y hoy si no es el estado artificial del miedo
podría ser el sonido de Babilonia
colapsando en su propio peso
oh espera, y como un bono, el clima se vuelve espeluznante
mentes cansadas, ¿tienes una teoría de la estafa?
no lo dudaría, pero en serio
toda tu perspectiva está nublada
como un parabrisas en el invierno
y atascarse como una astilla
en un dedo anular, derramamiento de madera en la parte posterior
Empiezo a armar estas pistas
cómo podrías terminar con un ego en moretón
y fuera en los cortes, como un recluso
pero luego, pero luego, pero luego, pero luego, pero luego
Me pongo los auriculares y toco mis melodías
y luego, y luego, y luego, y luego
right when you figure that you've seen it all
and you've heard it all
that everything great is cemented in the past
freeze framed for eternity,
never to be topped or tampered with,
think again my friend, what if we opened ourselves
to see the bright talent around us
It can be so damn refreshing
to know that a fellow human being
can manifest miracles despite
equally stricken with the laws of gravity
always had to be self-appointed, thus anointed
and you heard this yet
difficult to apply like a job out of league,
the truth hard to deal with
take a dose to conceal with
a quick fix but why would you
when you also know it could be too good to be true?
yeah you gotta be the one
to search for ethereal high
we gotta be the ones
to be that stereo in the system,
bring balance back to an equilibrium
its that one note you hit
however short it may be, a flash on a retina
on a whim, catch a glimpse into the next realm
hues brilliant to overwhelm
it makes you wanna say
fuck sex, it's the ultimate high
original organic till the day that I die
ecstasy, poetry in motion
brain drug factory churning out the potions
catalyst for a runaway chain reaction
designed to give that pure satisfaction
trigger a movement
much bigger than life, defined by the media alike
what I like and I don't like?
disconnect, reconnect to the channels I want
to receive the feed of rush delivery
to the vessel, fly ride like a fleet enterprise
