Press Men<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All the press men talk the same<\/p>\n

Same filth from the same drain<\/p>\n

Needed is honest legitimacy<\/p>\n

where the world is depicted accurately<\/p>\n

No more untruths<\/p>\n

All this lying is making you media scum busy<\/p>\n

your world is making me dizzy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rotting in a prison<\/p>\n

catching flies for religion<\/p>\n

eating wings for wisdom<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bars are glooms of hatred thought<\/p>\n

The past is shadow<\/p>\n

cavernous shadow<\/p>\n

The coming is tomorrow<\/p>\n

a light to follow<\/p>\n

All what happened should not be forgot<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some Say<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

they can remember as if it were yesterday<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

it was a lifetime absent<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

show your scars<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

it\u2019s easier to suffer alone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

peace will be fought for<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

we need to<\/em> renounce violence<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

use freedom of speech<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

we\u2019re bullied into silence<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

get busy living or get busy dying<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

dying is the default<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

absence makes the heart grow fonder<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

absence foretells new passion<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some say:<\/p>\n

enjoy what\u2019s free in life<\/p>\n

But in reality:<\/p>\n

freedom costs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No Hidden Meaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I breathe for everything<\/p>\n

yet I need nothing<\/p>\n

or reverse to contradict<\/p>\n

I\u2019m as cool as can be<\/p>\n

vague in disguise<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t hide what I appear<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be what I want to be<\/p>\n

To be just me<\/p>\n

No hidden meaning<\/p>\n

To be without reason<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t breathe for nothing<\/p>\n

yet I don\u2019t need everything<\/p>\n

what comes I won\u2019t deny<\/p>\n

I look this way because I do<\/p>\n

however contrived<\/p>\n

just me in florescent socks<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One who remained has stopped breathing<\/p>\n

the deceased\u2019s memory dies<\/p>\n

Inhale for identity<\/p>\n

and rise<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be what I want to be<\/p>\n

To be just me<\/p>\n

No hidden meaning<\/p>\n

To be without reason<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bless those that encouraged me<\/p>\n

Bless those that cared<\/p>\n

Bless those that don\u2019t understand<\/p>\n

Bless the one\u2019s that hold my hand<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The journey carries on<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Idiot<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When embracing what evil brings<\/p>\n

Deserved are the bitterest things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good will pity it<\/p>\n

Good will tell you you\u2019re an idiot<\/p>\n
