What Does It

Now what does it profit a man to gain The whole world but lose his soul. I don't know... ask the fool With the gold. Chomping on the bread of Decite... And boy does it ever taste sweet... But afterwards your mouth is full of concrete. Two eyes that never meet, Feeling so incomplete... Yet we look at each other... And say...Ssh we're just being discreet! Running in circles like three blind mice... Out of sight and out of mind, Cant you see, I'm on my grind Doing this on my own time, This is my house, I'm in my prime. Funny how your life is sour like lime... So you never realize the real lies that lie Deep within the lines of a man-made mind. Yet you act so surprise when you find yourself in a house full of compromise. A penny for your thoughts, here take a few shots, Don't worry about the time you lost, it wasn't worth much so don't count the cast. Shipwrecked and upset, your life holds no threat... and the way you act, this is the best you'll ever get! So step up or get wrecked, because the chain is off the neck, so wild and carefree a short step away from destiny ready to take a step so, please don't ignore the blood and sweat. No longer bound By my regret. So look into my eyes and tell me what you see, am I your friend or your enemy? A good time or a casualty But at this point It doesn't even matter, because I break through reality, and shatter your fantasy, so please don't flatter me. Because I couldn't care less For who you are or what you think, if you swim Or if you sink... Because this life is too short And ends in a blink. Stined by your pride, swept by the tide, my shame on the rise... But this little light of mine... I am going to let it shine and run this Race til I've run dry. Now what does it profit a man to gain The whole world but lose his soul. I don't know... ask the fool With the gold. Chomping on the bread of Decite... And boy does it ever taste sweet... But afterward, your mouth is full of concrete.
