| trash day
it’s the night before trash day here in the universe and quietly I walk can to can hoping my luck will reverse my soul is in need of something that’s not all under one roof in the dumpster behind all the churches i look for a morsel of truth cause trash day's my holy day i feed my soul what they throw away in my spiritual transformation one man's trash is another's salvation you can learn a lot about people by the things they reject philosophies opinions and their dreams are all out here for me to inspect so I give ‘em a spin for what it’s worth maybe some of it will work for me if so it goes in my odd collection if not it goes back on the street they say all paths lead to God and I say that’s a relief cause my trash can-lined path to Heaven is far from the standard belief |
| overflowing
i got a map i'll open it up i got a tank full of gas and an empty cup gonna drive till the end of the road till the ground beneath me starts to erode got a thirst for the truth of it all make my eyes go big and my mouth go small i can't know just what to do but it's right for me maybe not for you overflowing seeds are growing i am knowing where i'm going but i don't know how to get there i've never known this amount of pain seems as soon as i'm better it starts again i'm seeing there's big lessons to learn and the road always gives me another turn i soak it in whatever the wording the good the bad the ugly and disturbing you can't learn parked on the couch cause it's just not living if you never say ouch! i take it in take it all in i take it in take it all in gimme some more |
| no right
turn off your tv throw away your dictionary empty all of your knowledge set fire to your college degree we're setting foot into a realm where words are infinitely weak and there is no clear distinction between the alphas and the meek there is no right that is right there is no left that is left there is a middle way in between when boundaries are no longer seen when you reach for the riches wealth and material gain your joy will only be fleeting and replaced again with pain what's the sense of aiming at the target's outer ring when you could just stop doing the things that cause your suffering |
| learn to love

| buddha camp
so you're off to a different place there's something you feel the need to embrace you've had it up to here with the current wrath it's time to walk down an ancient path spend a week at buddha camp they say it's seven days well spent see the jewel inside the lotus and find enlightenment the stuff you packed just leave it behind material things don't jive with the mind yes you'll be faced with a challenge indeed but you've already got everything you need mental objects flying about the seeds of wisdom begin to sprout and what you thought was just despair is really a label for what isn't there the suffering that we claim is fate it's a condition we blindly create cause you can't manipulate reality you just need to see all you've got to do is open your eyes when you see truth you also see lies it's easy to accept the choices we make when we are awake |
