In the Flesh
Life in the gutter
the metaphor ive become
suffer for you to string me along
step by step
showing you mans plans test for god
in the flesh
showed up for his mistake
walking circles in happiness
too busy to do this for free
paying the piper with another crime of your century
jesus has obsessive compulsive disorder
eventually blindly you will see
the hit of the century
the nightmare over
taken from you like a thief
who am i now anyway
confusing these realities
golden child of latent powers
something you will eventually see
life got out of bed for your birthday
reality not always so kind
who was there at life's birthday
in the flesh, in spiritual dreams
the joke of life im out to fail to become
the one song we sing keeping us amazing
step by step changing the smal things
where did this all start anyway
what are we supposed to say today
three days are all we have to work with to show our maker we believe
killing time and crucified by ignorance is truth
what is the right thing to do
amongst the waves of confusion
here they are in the flesh
level one of how we all belong will take you higher
here they go
shaking the glitter
taking themselves to where they are destined
back in the limelight of life
life in a stranglehold
failing its own lessons
of self defeating tortures
scared of the neverending circles
metaphor for a prayer
metaphor of life
mankinds wil to do good
step by step
from the gutter to our finest dreams
In the flesh a phenomenon
childlike latent powers
Forgotten script of the world meeting their maker will be remembered
holy ghost in training
hole in the plot, the humming in your head
is the piper paying you for his vacation
eventually there will be less distractions from this
