You gotta walk with the shadow, and the sun, and they’ll be talking in no time, everybody’s picking their battles, aim your guns, and stay alive, and though I feel reborn, this region is war torn, we haven’t been here before, we’ll never go back there anymore,
We’ll never go back there anymore, back there anymore,
Now I’m standing, alone, I’m heavy handed trapped in my bones, and I can’t stand it anymore,
The shit I’m handed anymore,
Everybody’s walking a fine line, on their own, society will look to the side lines, and off we go into the unknown, and though I feel recourse, this mission is worth more, we only learn from before, but we can never go back there anymore,
But we can never go back there anymore, back there anymore,
Now I’m standing here alone, so many memories pulse through my bones and I can tell you all that I know, but I can’t guarantee it’ll flow,
And then the morning comes, you’re still in mourning from the past, and truth be told,
You were right there, so where’d you go?
You’re somewhere in my nightmares, it’s like you’ll always be right there,
Somewhere in my nightmares, it’s like you’ll always be right there.

Many Faced Man

Settle for shoes, settle for you, the man runs slowly, cause what can he do?
But go, down the road, where the summers are painful, and winter so cold,
We’re doing just fine, nah nah nah, nah, we’re walking in line, it’s 11 o’clock,
I’m locking the door, and turn on the fan, become something more, than the many faced man,
And we’re doing just fine, nah nah nah, nah, we’re frozen in time, like the signs on the wall,
The many faced man, nah nah nah, nah, he’s all that he can, but it’s never enough,
Still he’s doing just fine, nah nah nah, nah, he’s walking in line, nah nah nah, nah.

Back of my Mind

I swear, that lost on the way, were decadent skies and, on that horizon we hoped and we prayed as we sailed through the rain, and I turn to, my only friend, he’s first in command as I try to be kind to his conscience is smiling while mine is still toiling with problems at hand,
I suppose, the fault is mine, to be predisposed to it all, my love it’s closing time, my love it’s closing time, my heart is closed, while I must tow this line, my virtuous soul, still has an axe to grind,
I sleep, at the foot of my bed, my thoughts are not silent while drowning in silence they won’t seek asylum there, how bad, must somebody want you then? Nobody wants you when you’re alone and so cold is the road with those burdening souls that you travel them with,
This is the cause, for which I’ve sold my time, investing this loss of mine, into what’s known as, somewhere to go, something we all must find, just another son of mother Earth and father time, remains in the back of my mind, in the back of my mind.

Let me stay

Let me stay, by the river, I know why I’m coming home, gone astray, for a little, as time slips by my Fordham road, I can hear my dad saying “son, I’ve got a job for you when you’re done”,
Taking up space and I’m the regret, like a heathen who stumbled in Solomon’s Kingdom, waking upset you’re howling instead at the dark side of the moon, ah ooooooooh, ah oooooooooh,
Making my way down south, sorrow and sadness were crossing the avenue, shrouded in anger and doubt, mentally strong but they’re two steps ahead of you, clouding my memories trapped in a reverie, life is unfair so we glare at the referee, telling their lies to me, trying to silently, find the time, and when it’s over, I’ll be fine, a little older, that’s alright, it’s infinite,
These thoughts do provoke when we think in the twilight, in my life, it’s time to depart and embark on mount Saini, it’s about time I’ve, gone, and for so long, I’ll try,
Taking up space and I’m the regret like a heathen who stumbled in Solomon’s Kingdom, waking upset, you’re howling instead at the dark side of the moon.
