I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
|
'cause they'll be try to knock you down in some way
|
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
|
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
|
|
Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the night
|
Your body followed this feeling like following light
|
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
|
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
|
|
You're sad but you smile
|
It not in your eyes
|
Your eyeballs won't change
|
It's the muscles around your eyes
|
|
An egg to fertilize
|
A pulse to stabilize
|
A body to deodorize
|
A life to scrutinize
|
A child to criticize
|
Young adults to modernize
|
Citizens to terrorize
|
Generations to desensitize
|
|
You're dreams are sweet and obsessed
|
And your overworked
|
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
|
How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers)
|
Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
|
Am I a prisoner to instincts?
|
Or do my thoughts just live
|
As free and detached
|
As boats to the dock?
|
|
Just like when music was born
|
And detached from your heart
|
Is your free time to free minds
|
Or for falling apart?
|
|
Night after night
|
You turn out the light
|
You don't fall asleep right away
|
"Are we... are we done?"
|
|
A desk to organize
|
A product to advertise
|
A market to monopolize
|
Movie stars you idolize
|
Leaders to scandalize
|
Enemies to neutralize
|
No time to apologize
|
Fury to tranquilize
|
Weapons to synchronize
|
Cities to vapor-i
|
