Presents of Mind

Years of sameness make us this way Taking the blame's no longer o.k. Over again some never stray Tortured and bland walk hand in hand Routines are all right, we all need some To never fight means everything's right? Passive and willing, agree with anything Draw the line, develop a spine Static is our legacy Taught from birth what we believe Our mind creates another boundary Watching the moments pass Our purpose cannot last Trapped in a re-run Going nowhere fast I stand in line for a long time Who says I have to, who made this rule? Speaking to myself isn't going to help Do something dynamic, why withstand it? History repeats too frequently No one ever learns to react positively Whatever exists, we all pay the fees Charging ahead, regardless of need Static is our legacy Taught from birth what we believe Our mind creates another boundary Watching the moments pass Our purpose cannot last Trapped in a re-run Going nowhere Static is our legacy Taught from birth what we believe Our mind creates another boundary Watching the moments pass Our purpose cannot last Trapped in a re-run Going nowhere Chipping away our pride Static is the means to hide Avoiding risk, ignoring all replies It is our legacy Taught from birth what we believe Our minds create another boundary

Show us a change or maybe a move But don't be surpised if it can't be proved We help reinforce the things that you do Your behavior will be changed as we apply the screw Equality to all is advocated here But you're not by yourself, there's nothing to fear To modify There's clarify Conditioning we theorize Systematic planning Has advantages to modify The more you've sold the more you will get Your motivation's improved, but it's not quite there yet What shall we do to keep you here? What to say What to say What to say just isn't clear Coerce and force hasn't worked Our objectives were wrong Instead of helping we hurt To modify There's clarify Conditioning we theorize Systematic planning Has advantages to modify To modify There's clarify Conditioning we theorize Systematic planning Has advantages to modify To modify There's clarify Conditioning we theorize Systematic planning Has advantages to modify

Thread the eye Led by an ill frame of mind Judge to justify End results sometimes lie friends and peers Motives unclear - disappear Facing fear and doubt Hear the whisper explode into a shout Too late to get out Words stinging twisting turning Echo in my head I can't afford the cost of wasted time No failure Trapped in a spiral without an end Around another corner Turning blind Tensions crest Dunce cap crowns the litmus test Smoking guns report Can't leave the line to start as scars return Nothing learned, hopeless and burned Raging on and on War of words fought yet again are seldom won Too late to belong Words stinging twisting turning Echo in my head I can't afford the cost of wasted time No failure Trapped in a spiral without an end Around another corner Turning blind Asking, answering, looking, seeing Take refuge from the storm Seeking, finding, directions clearer Truth takes many forms Words stinging twisting turning Echo in my head I can't afford the cost of wasted time No failure Trapped in a spiral without an end Around another corner Turning blind

Listen to words which come from up front Experience grows with each and every lesson Playing a game, an inquisition Pay attention, find out what you're missing I sense a wall emerge And accept the learning curve Through eyes of gray thoughts focused ahead Shaped in various positions Intent on the pages filled with words to be read Looking for symptoms behind the conditions The signs are poorly lit Lines drawn upon the landscape It's hard to tell what fits With all that is said The future is told A planned destiny That is bought and sold To do as you please Is just what you need Give what is learned And learn what to heed The learning curve still rises before me The more I hear the less it seems I know How to balance above the rocks below Boredom opens up another place in time No passion in these plain dry woods There's a message and it's not very hard to find Providing you hear what is to be heard

I can't find an open door Recall what I was looking for Waste from haste we fail to see Stop to think reluctantly Now? When? Here? Then? Demoralized, compromised Check integrity at the door Cutting throats, dashing hopes Face down upon the floor Our goal, to be the best To find a way to belong Help the ones who need To mold their destiny But good intentions don't always Work the way they should Some end up harming more Than doing any good We can't take all the blame For everything gone wrong When will others have the right To find a way with their own insight? What? When? If? Then? Bottom lines with token fines Slim chance to get caught Example set by hedging bets Means to and end are bought Our goal, to be the best To find a way to belong To help the ones who need To mold their destiny But good intentions don't always Work the way they should Some end up harming more Than doing any good Our goal, to be the best To find a way to belong To help the ones who need To mold their destiny But good intentions don't always Work the way they should Some end up harming more Than doing any good

At the end of the day Nerves are worn, a little frayed Move to wash up after toil Look to see the sweat and soil Passion for existence Can't be bought, can't be sold Altering conditions to pave the way Caution on hold Caught in a rut of safe procedures Realize that change is always a feature So you've done what you're told Following the rule of gold Rescued from obscurity By a sense of destiny When the cast peels away Clearing fog reveals the day Thoughts and plans and dreams take shape As new fears wait to awake Caught in a rut of safe procedures Realize that change is always a feature

I sit looking through a cage Feel the tension and the rage Events evolving without a reason Just a pawn, this political season No hope while efforts fail Fact and fiction on my trail I'm a scapegoat for authority Can't stop this tale of hypocrisy I was told the past is a reflection of the future Life spent in vain seeking revenge A reason to doubt Justice abstained to the bitter end Proof dismissed as too far out There was a reason to doubt But we're too busy with the words That people spoke yet no one heard When are we ever going to learn? I sit trembling in the chair I feel the hatred behind the stares The surge electric builds and snaps my nerves Lifeless innocence whose justice was served? I know the truth slips through the hands of random judgement Life spent in vain seeking revenge A reason to doubt Justice abstained to the bitter end Proof dismissed as too far out There was a reason to doubt But we're too busy with the words That people spoke yet no one heard When are we ever going to learn? Life spent in vain seeking revenge A reason to doubt Justice abstained to the bitter end Proof dismissed as too far out There was a reason to doubt But we're too busy with the words That people spoke yet no one heard When are we ever going to learn? There was a reason to doubt It wasn't convenient There was a reason to doubt No one chose to believe There was a reason to doubt Who is deceived? But we're too busy with the words That people spoke yet no one heard When are we ever going to learn? There was a reason to doubt Truth was the answer that didn't count Won't someone please let me out? Thanks to markallengodwin for sending these lyrics.
