lyrics

I had a dream last night about a rhyme I spit
I woke up in the middle, but it went like this
How is it that the source of all pleasure and pain
Just happen to be one in the same?

A solitary mind game, digging for deeper veins
Fearing, but still needing, the change
It's always night time in my mind, for better and worse
Half moon in the sky, either blessed or I'm cursed

Bad as it hurts, bleeding thru the words
Another dream quest, obsessed with the absurd
The artist will exploit anything
But open their veins for the love of being

The artist will exploit anyone
Including himself, call it well when it’s done
Awoke from a simple lie to a complex truth
That’s why we gotta stay in the booth

Set sail to discover
The lost horizon the gods failed to uncover
I stood there, caution ignored
Then saw myself reappear in an alternate form

No keys, just walked in the door
Accompanied by thoughts I forgot from before
Reminded, I was, relieved of my task
No longer submissive to the impulsive grasp

The sun danced for an hour or two
Until a storm came knocking and devoured the room
I swam through the silence no danger appeared
But then darkness emerged with a faceless veneer

I reached for the moon as it trudged ahead
Saw the stars form a message that forewarned and read
Reality looms on the edge of belief
Pay attention to the shadows when the heavens don’t speak
