Moment of Truth

The law of the material world It goes like this Everything is temporary-all life It comes into being Stays for some time Produces some by-products Dwindles and vanishes What's the deal Why are we here Trapped inside this body This body carries the soul That's right-it's just a shell So many think we are this body But we're not It's what we are inside that counts Why are we proud Now I know why I cannot resist In tune with nature's way I walked a crooked path alone I thought I could get there on my own What am I to condone This body I don't even own People want to know your occupation Where'd you get your education Don't wanna meet the soul within Good looks and wealth a necessity You think it's love but it's a smoke screen When good looks fade Divorce lawyers bring pain Isolation Help me realize I cannot regret If I don't fall victim to sense attachment

I've come to realize I am my own worst enemy Each day I must wage a war, a war on myself Voices of doubt beckon me Demons inside won't let me be The anxiety builds As I face another day I know what lies ahead The uneasiness comes as I Force myself out of bed The triumphs of yesterday Mean nothing to me now And with each step that I take The battle rages on Self doubt is my cause I search for an easy way Just to get through the day Can't think about tomorrow-not yet I'll take things as they come I have no one to fail No one but me-no one I've come to realize Inner strength conquers all And that I can't ever say I give up I can suppress the demons I can prevail if I'm strong No intimidation, hesitation, deprivation I will prevail if I'm strong

The questions multiply But I can't see the signs I search for these signs every day When time stands still I've had my fill And I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid This is my faith I can relate And this belief has set me free, I'm sworn to try But why the fear Why are we here I guess we'll find those answers when it's our time Searching for answers in life Desperate solutions we try To understand I hope I can I think we are down here to learn From our mistakes It's what it takes I wish I had some coaching in this game of life Now I realize That I've been taught That's what I reflect when distraught So how willing I am to fight For this will tell my afterlife Sometimes life will get the best of me But all I've learned it can set me free A lesson learned can bring pain at times It comes with the territory I realize Just when I think, just when I think Just when I think I know the truth I come to realize, come to realize Come to realize I have no clue

I can't see why We don't see eye to eye The hatred it brews within The mind of ignorance What do I see One step back What this brings Stone cold facts Why should we All divide Why should we Why should we go One step back What this brings Stone cold facts Why should we All divide I try to drill this in your head Blood's red You haven't heard a word I've said Not yet What's it gonna, what's it gonna take To reach the public in This day and age Without going Haven't we already Already been through this shit Witnessing the rage And all the ignorance What I see Is inferiority And what this brings Is tension to the streets One step back

Most of us spend the majority of our lives Worrying about our problems Or our aspirations Going through life with blinders on Dwelling only on the things That stress us out all that much more I do believe that life is about Working hard to obtain your goals But at the same time We must remember to enjoy ourselves We must learn to laugh at ourselves And the situations we get in to Forgetting about who we think we are Or who we want to be If for nothing else-to ensure our sanity I know we all have problems We all know life is rough We try desperately To take control of our lives Day in-Day out Pushing, pulling, twisting, turning The strain gets so intense Emotions bottle up inside Endless struggle to survive We try so hard But we can't let ourselves forget To step back and take a look To see the irony of it all The irony of it all And we can't let ourselves forget To not take our lives so seriously And see the humor in it all At times it all seems hopeless We wonder what's the point With the weight of the world on our minds Happiness seems so distant Day in-Day out Building, pounding, burning, yearning Still we keep on forging ahead Build the walls thicker around us Remain strong stay in focus I try so hard Step back and take A good look at yourself

Looking back Back on the past The memories Of times that we've had I struggle Reliving in thought The good times And all that was lost And I know it's all history But I don't wanna let go Of the past Don't wanna let go I don't wanna let go Looking back Don't wanna let go Something is telling me To move on I try and try and try God knows I try But I'm still drawn The echoes of the past Are telling me How do you expect To live your life in agony They tell me Let it go I'm sick and tired Of watching good things In life just pass They are here and over so fast But I know in order to grow I must move on And push it beyond I can't see Looking back I know I must let go

You can't disappear anymore I see your face lurking outside the window You say you're a trife, I'm a bore You touch yourself, put your face in the pillow But the funny thing about you is You remembered to leave it behind And the funny thing about me is I'm a member of the Right Brigade Makes no difference to me What side you choose, what side will loose All there is to perceive Is what I want, and know how to get it But the funny thing about you is You remember to leave it behind And the funny thing about me is I'm a member of the Right Brigade

Scarred inside No cure in sight Verbal strife Cuts like a knife Before I slip Please come and arrest me So many times I've resorted to hostility What's with me When I feel the heat I look back at a time Filled with innocence The memories And all that it meant It's been destroyed Self control's what I need The mind is restless Turbulent-obstinate To subdue is like Controlling the wind So much invested Thrown away Now our words pay My tongue is weak Speaking up And against me It's saying things That I know that I should never say It's made me weak I need some time to think Just turn your back And forget me In all due time It will come to Surpass me Hard like a fist The words are received Your tongue can be Your worst enemy With it's own mind It can run so free Without much thought It can bring you down With foot in mouth Brought right to the ground IT comes back Time and time again Our words are hostile Whirling in the wind Our composure Is what we need As affinity

Is there-no hope Will I-ever cope Will I see-light ahead Or live life-walking dead When I look at my life I see A never ending struggle I can't get out of trouble When it starts to look like things Just might change-just might change Something even more fucked up gets in my way again So much pressure on my brain How much longer can I take the strain Don't know if I can keep my anger tame God please take away the pain How much longer can I take the strain So much pressure on my brain Doesn't matter how hard I try I just can't seem to win Don't have a clue to what I've done To deserve this shit When I get a step ahead I get Knocked back two-Knocked back two Somebody tell me how I'm supposed to find Strength to make it through It's getting harder and harder To keep my chin up Every day in one way or another Something's always trying To keep me down But I know I'm not alone to face it

My feet planted firmly on This ground is where I'll say Each and every day Each and every day I know when reaching for the sky You don't realize Who you are today Forever, in my mind, it's there To bring me down to all that is real Forever And never will I back away From the ones that stayed And stood right by my side Stood right by my side I must never turn into A plastic, rambling fool Self-obsessed and cruel Forever, in my mind, it's there To bring me down to all that is real Stop me if I should derail And bring mе back to all that I feel Forever real What was first prеsented to me Was just a front with no sign of deceit I gave my trust, how was I to see Your true colors? Staying true, I will stick to my guns By your example, I will check what I've done All you've saved, as compared to me I've got my conscience Forever, in my mind, it's there To bring me down to all that is real Stop me if I should derail And bring me back to all that I feel Forever

Pride or anger A long cold stare Had no emotions Inside I didn't care No objectives My future bleak All out aggression Inside me What was going Through my head Innocent lives Were tampered with False ego and False pretense Was my so-called intelligence I've learned control I will sustain Time to unfold Stop! Stop this pain I've burned bridges But now I'm done I didn't think I'd hurt anyone I can now Feel this shame That I've caused From others pain Since that time I've changed Try to hold My rage If I don't I am bound What comes around Goes around That was my blindside Back in the day That was my blindside
