The Same Is Are We

Started lookin' forward but was lookin' around
Cuz lookin' straight up is the same as down
A ripple in the water is the same as a sound
In the skies up above, and the fields on the ground
And we are all the same, and the same is are we
So the leaf is on the ground, and we are in the tree
We are built the same with our veins and arteries
And the branches come together and we form a tree
As the wind blows on
Can we get inside a little deeper?
Can we get deep down into the waters?
Can we live like our forefathers?
From the earth is born our mother
Love is all around, yet still we fight;
With the light of every day comes the dark of the night
Life is always based on uncertainty
But this becomes the basis of consistency
And we are all the same, and the same is are we
The days of yesteryear form our history
People living through their sickness and health
But you already know cuz it repeats itself
As the wind blows on
Can we get inside a little deeper?
Can we get deep down into the waters?
Can we live like our forefathers?
From the earth is born our mother

Waking Up To Die

I woke up this morning, and I've woken up to die
I thought about the outside, might just give it a try
There's people lookin' out, they look up to the sky
But I'm lookin' down because I've woken up to die
And I'm looking out, feeling in, waking up to die
Thought about the outside, might just give it a try
It's only with my eyelids that I know I exist
Cuz waking up to die should feel a lot like this
And I've woken up just to die
I woke up this morning, and I've woken up to die
Try to look out, I see the back of my eye
Try to find the answer to the big quesiton "Why?"
But all that I know is that I've woken up to die
And I'm looking out, feeling in, waking up to die
Thought about the outside, might just give it a try
It's only with my eyelids that I know I exist
Cuz waking up to die should feel a lot like this
And I've woken up just to die

Red On Fire

It's time to wake on up, it's time to leave your dreams
It's time to wake on up and see what all this means
It's time to face yourself inside the mirror pane
Time to face yourself, don't live the day in vain
Cuz any other day that you looked at yourself
Are you feeling good? Or maybe not so well?
Cuz you're red on fire in some kind of blue
And you're red on fire and it's nothin' new
Are you red on fire? Or in some kind of blue?
I gotta get on down. Cuz I'm feeling oh so down.
Where does the story run in the eyes of blue?
Where do you find yourself all along the route?
Cuz you're red on fire and it's nothin' new
And somewhere you'll find yourself along the route
How many other days have you looked at yourself?
Are you feelin' good or maybe not so well?
How many other days have you looked at yourself?
Are you feelin' good? Or maybe not so well?
I gotta get on down. Cuz I'm feeling oh so down.

Mirror Pain

It's merely glass and pane, just fucking glass and pain
But too much time in front you'll live your life in vain
What do the others say when they look at you?
Something insincere that really fucks with you?
But don't you know it's true? they ain't got shit on you!
Cuz what i've said in rhyme, they've said to pass the time
And while you think and stir their words fall short, i'm sure,
Of something they once said, while you look on ahead
I gotta get on down

The Road Less Traveled
05:53

We're started walkin' on down, down the road less traveled
So we went on walkin' on down the road and we came up to a fork
On the right you can see just fine with the signs all along the way
But there, there on the left, you can't see exactly where it goes
To the right is something that is known, but to the left no one really knows
It's the road less traveled
We started walkin' on down the road
Down the road less traveled
We started to the left, down the road less traveled
So we went to the left and we started walkin' on down that road
The road was rough and all unknown, but the choice was our own
And we didn't know that it would be us that we'd meet
Cuz to the right is who you think that you should be,
but to the left is who you really are
It's the road less traveled
We started walkin' on down the road
Down the road less traveled
