HALF-NAKED
This is what must be said
Holiness in word form
Emitted syllables of truth
No one is who you think they are
Energy radiates but lies
We think we know
Lies is all it is
Yet we see past them
Far in the distance
Only to see what's deep inside
Regret what's on the outside
Most hope for the best
Even when they see the worst
Do you understand this?
Background noise
And the deep-down self
Notice the likeness
Decide if what is being said
Heard only vaguely
Actually is what is important
Look at what is right in front of you
Forget about the deep inside
Nothing there will ever break the surface
And you keep waiting
Keep hoping for it
Eventually you realize
Deep down is gonna stay
Inside the deep down
Didn't you believe me?
I only speak the truth
Okay, not always
That's another deep inside
Steer clear of that
Instead just focus on the now
See what people really are
As long as you don't view them by what you see
Sight deceives and sets the seed
Flowering in your mind
Only makes you see
Lies you want to believe
Like them so badly
Obvious desire for the lies
We aren't what you think
Shade your eyes from their sun.
Begin anew with light in your eyes
Arouse the greatness at the surface
Set it free to break through or die
See what you really are
Inside, just below the surface
Stop sight before you go too deep
Train yourself to pierce the skin
Just the skin, no deeper
Over the old comes the new
Separate the two
Hold them to each other
Scan for slight differences
Manipulate the masses
In my mind, all is great
Too complex to comprehend
Here is what it all does.
Grains of sand wash away
Until replacement
In some other time
Together we can let it all go
And be ourselves
React to the dumb situations
Indifferently, irrelevantly
Something awesome will occur
That day you step away
And find yourself
Kick away the damp of old
Overturn a new leaf
Neanderthals lived
In me just a while ago
Ventilating their rage
Inside my mind
Emitting toxic fumes
Running through a stream
Racing to death
At the hands of a god.
Don't incorporate
Reality from someone else
Unless you want to kill yourself
Murder your soul
Melt your mind
Extinction is the next resort
Rewind it and start again
Back to birth
Relive your life
And do better
Destroy your self
Your self of old
Be reborn into a world
Evil without the devils
Look around and re-adapt
Live again.
Vicious tenacity
Overcome by rage
Caused my self-inflammation
And I was born anew
Looked the same
I was so different
Social now
Though still bearing a message
Before that, I never talked
Even to my parents
Not prepared to face life
Regret nothing
I broke through
Couldn't be stopped
Every day I win again.
