| Looking in deeper past the murky waters Past the litter and the pollution Seeing beyond what the surface offers. Sometimes you can't find past what meets the eye, But you gotta look for those things that hide On the other side 'Cause sometimes God likes to be sly And make you search for his secretive marvels To appreciate more Once you see where it all derives By making it harder and more descrete Not throwing everything right at your feet. But you have to be willing and able To open your mind And lay the cards on the table When the other side sees what is there Knowing that what you believe is a fable. And you've marked the package with the wrong label, And sent it off to the wrong place Switched the package with another face. And suffering a loss that could have been beneficial Can't you distinguish between the inner and the facial? It's important to give the benifit of the doubt When it comes to the heart, soul... What it's really about. And if you can't see past your own face Please! Place... That mouth where it belongs. Hidden Not publicly displayed in songs 'Cause it's not what I want to hear Ignorance smeared Simply because to you it's not clear, But murky water If you're not willing..... Don't bother! |

| When you're going through the struggle to live and survive When you're going through the struggle and the good is disguised When you're going through the struggle and it seems so far away the light in the tunnel As they say. What is there to do, but pray? 'Cause He said He'd take my worries away with just a little faith and a will to know. Then you'll see the show where all your dreams come true And His promises are proved. When you're going through the struggle and you don't know anything any more. When you're going throgh the struggle and you hear the empty pit roar. When you're going through the struggle, You've got to keep in mind. That the light will shine And you're ship will float in. Eventually, you'll win. 'Cause every stage is temporary If you conquer You have to remain a surviver. And take advantage of every blessing, And find it in yourself to sing! The song of joy, appreciation, and praise! Even when the burden weighs more than you could ever imagine. Keep in mind that your problems are common And you're actually lucky 'Cause this guys got it worse. He's got more to dispurse. So, keep finding happiness in all of the simple. Show those dimples. Avoid the wrinkles. |

| All the shit that I've been going through, Good.....Bad.....Hurtful....Happy..... Conforming and Molding, Twisting and forming Teaching me that life is just loaning A little bit of information To make it through, I need great duration To avoid suffication Those things that kill and wither me, Chop off my neck like a willow tree. Ultimate betrayal Reveal the true image under the veil. Showing me that the impossible IS conceivable Family, friends, loved ones... EVERYTHING is believable. Injustice committed Who really done, did it? You wit it? When there's only one story from which you get your glory And jusfication For your action Just because your life and mine have opposite attractions. But there's nothing you can do To make me like you. The more you strangle, The more I run. The more you punish The more you stun With bewilderment and amazement. Unfortunate separation. Brutal estrangement From all that I knew. A thick line drew A strong perimeter "Restricted area" "Do not enter" This is a private joint. I hope you made your point. And I hope it was worth it. Look inside yourself Could've set the old book back on the shelf Instead of lighing the match And creating a forest fire, Erased my memory of you By backing into me with your 4x4 tires. All I can say, is that a new spring must blossom. Self Baptism..... Meaning death to the old No one thought I'd be so bold Everyone thought they were sly No one thought I was serious Until I silently said, "Good Bye" |
