A Better Place
(专辑: Splendor & Misery - 2016)
If ever you find yourself beaten and broke And can't feel the
whip for the
weight of the
yoke And fear that the
night will not turn into day Remember the
darkness will show you the
way It's a
long way away, it's a
long way away And I'm all alone along a
long Long long long long long long way Inside the
mind of a
man is a
massacre Made up of many a
miniature message And misses the
most of it So convoluted, design for disaster It's making the
best of a
universe Far too expansive to cope with And he never chose nor was chosen By metrics that make any sense And the
senses are numbed by emotional stresses There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Who got time on a
string, on a
finger? Nothing to remember but the
passage of it Who got time to let anything linger? Where it hovers, surely you will learn to love it Who got time for this love shit anyway? Gotta survive, isn't that mess enough for him? There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Set a
course, it's a
bet upon an endless Roulette wheel odds are ungodly As are the
odds of the
body Making it through and surviving the
gravity shift The
gravitas of which is lost From the
lost thoughts of a
being ch-ch-chopped To a
bite size in the
light eyes Begging don't eat the
messenger The
messages and SOS and other S's In the
language where it goes There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else And somebody gotta keep watch where the
watch stops He talks about his pops in polarity Fingers fantasize of rocks there will never be "Land ho!" likely Lest a
hole in the
mantle of Heaven He's demanding the
evidence for something That maybe never was for anyone He's missing something pretty He's missing where the
air tastes gritty He's missing the
splendor and misery Of bodies, of cities, of being missed There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Flesh is weaker than the
metal, it is true But the
metal's being moved into a
thing it doesn't do Circuitry is only serviceable as much as it is used So why don't you use it? 'Til you use it up, abuse it It is strong, it can take it if you can't Your sinews are more intuitively designed for dance Well, it set up a
random course safely away from suns Four-hundred and twenty-three By a
hundred and twelve by fifty-one There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Inside the
mind of a
man is a
mystery, made up of these centuries Of mistakes he believes are important to be Part of his DNA, calls it history Species with memories longer Don't bother with sweating the
old shit Maybe it's this time-bound conscience That keeps him out pushing through nothing With only the
hope brought on by this belief that There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go yet? Let's go There must be a, better place to Be somebody, be somebody else Go
