Dimentia

My conscience has left the building, my soul is close behind
I maybe drooling in my cereal, but I'm off in another time
I can't seem to find my piece of mind
My physical may be diminished, but my spirit is in its height
My muscles may be lacking, but my ambiance has taken flight
My life is flashing before my eyes and I may not recognize you
You somehow look different to me in this alternate reality
I'm living the dream, I'm making it right,
I'm trying again to take another bite
I'm sipping some tea with friends long gone
I'm trying to right the things that went wrong
I'm in Dimentia. Its in contentia. I'm living two lives you see.
While the first one is ending, the second one is bending my sense of reality
I'm fading in and out, cause I'm living in two dreams
And it gets confusing, playing for two different teams
I can't seem to find reality
I may be talking to someone who died, or someone within my past
I'm playing another story, I'm performing another task
I may be startled or shouting out, and I'm living in a world of doubt
You somehow look different to me in this alternate reality
I'm living the dream, I'm making it right,
I'm trying again to take another bite
I'm sipping some tea with friends long gone
I'm trying to right the things that went wrong
I'm in Dimentia. Its in contentia. I'm living two lives you see.
While the first one is ending, the second one is bending my sense of reality

Non De Te

Music permeates my soul and fills me with joy as I soak in the sun’s rays
Soothing my anger, my rage, my insecurities
As the media pummels me with injustices, and entitlement, I remember my family and my gifts
I remember who I am and who I could be, if only I would believe
Engage… Read… Share… Believe
Find your talents, share your dream
Find your worth to society
It’s not about you, It’s not about me,
It’s not about you, it’s not about …
Understand, not what you do not have, but what you truly have
Each of us is lacking, but each of us possess a talent of immeasurable value
If only we would engage it. Put it to use. Not for ourselves, but to be enjoyed by others.
Only then would we see the value of our existence.
Converse… Empathize… Centralize… Harmonize…
Find your talents, share your dream
Find your worth to society
It’s not about you, It’s not about me,
It’s not about you, it’s not about …
I am not an individual, until I become valuable to someone else
No one cares about me, until I contribute to someone else’s life,
until my talents are useful to others. And then I will stand out
As a beacon, as an asset, as a hero in someone’s life
Sympathize… Empathize… Centralize… Humanize…
Find your talents, share your dream
Find your worth to society
It’s not about you, it’s about us,
It’s not about you, it’s not about YOU

Lies
02:10

As you sit and tell your stories
But your eyes tell the truth
And you spin your web so tightly
And you try to hide
But I see right through you
When the truth reveals your secrets
And you don’t know what to say
And your world falls to pieces
And you try to hide
But you can’t find your way.
All of your lies
All of your lies

As The Night Grows Cold
04:25

As darkness fills the sky
and the streets fill with decadence
The air is thick with intrigue … and suspense
Perception is an art
and information is the key
To uncover the deception … of conspiracy
What lurks in the shadows in the dead of the night?
What’s around the corner, down the street, out of sight?
Who’s the man behind the cold and hard façade?
Who‘s been given the numbers to finish the job?
The dark psyche is brooding,
the lights of the soul goes dim
When you kill for pleasure is when … evil begins
When the feel of the gun
Is your only friend
When deep in the rabbit hole … or the lion’s den
Who’s the man behind the cold reality?
A master ghost, a god of anonymity
Who’s the man behind the cold and hard façade?
Who‘s been given the numbers to finish the job?
Will you sell your soul for your country, for your kind?
Will you keep your secrets, will you draw the line?
Will you walk in the darkness, day after day
Will you break the chains and walk away
As the night grows cold …
As the night grows cold …

So Gone
05:12

She stares outside for no reason
It’s gray, not a change of the season
The tea pot whistles but no one hears
Her eyes are drained, already shed the tears
Already past where she’ll never be
Just an emotional refugee
Nothing comes to mind, she sits and stares
Tries to act as like she never cared
Cell phone rings but no one answers
Got the call that left her in tatters
The news left her uncomfortably numb
The threads of sanity came undone
Unfinished food on her plate
Best laid plans erased
Inside her thoughts are sedate
Havoc the sole creates
So Gone
Hides her face in her hand
Holds her head up, she hardly can
Looks at her tea cup for a sign
Can’t seem to find a piece of mind
Already past where she’ll never be
Just an emotional refugee
Nothing comes to mind, she sits and stares
Tries to act like she doesn't care
So Gone

Tired

The alarm goes off in the background
I get out of bed
Drag my feet cross the carpet
Try to clear my head
Brush my teeth
Sit on the seat
Open my eyes
Just to put the coffee on
Drive my car on the freeway
To get to work on time
Have to fight all the masses
No reason or rhyme
Try to get it straight
Try not to hate
Get outta my way
Gotta get out of here
Arrive at work
Work until it hurts
There goes the bell
Another day is done and gone
I’m so tired
of working
and scheming
and dreaming
grinding my fingers down to the skin and bone
I’m so tired
of rising
at dawn
In the cold
out of bed
just trying to keep my home
Cars on the brink of dying
Can’t get a break
Life keeps emptying my wallet
I give it takes
Try to get ahead
Work until I’m dead
Gotta get a break
Pack up and go to Belize
Boy am I beat
Need to get some sleep
I’ll feel better
After a couple of Zzzzzz
I’m so tired-
of doing
and saying
the things
that everyone
tells me to do and tells me to say
I’m so tired
I think I’ll
get back into bed
shut my eyes
and hope it all goes away
