Everyday

(album: The Element Of Sonic Defiance - 2000)

I'm preaching life
I'm preaching thought
cause I see it all around me
as it struggles to unfold on a world
born afraid

I don't need science, no reason
to calculate what's here inside
no answers won, no questions asked
will chase this feeling away

I know about hate
I've been in love
and I've seen everyone around me
close their eyes and turn to stone
I've seen hope in disguise

Well I'm not trying to save your soul
don't wanna show direction
don't wanna take control
I've been a lie
I've told a lie but I'm trying to get it better each day I try

Life shot in the vein
pumped in the heart
awaking my soul
knocked down
kicked in the face
shown the easy path is the hardest way down

I've drawn to one conclusion
that no one really understands anything
we're all grinding gears
don't know which way is up
once the soul is dead the mind ain't far away

Arhhhh!? Everybody Shutup!

On the steps of my mind one thousand thoughts decline away
