I walk the path I usually do on the left side of the fence Running on the right side there’s you irrational and without sense.

We'll unfold our verses
If everything’s been written And everything been said We won’t speak anymore Won’t write anymore. But if we are the new prophets Sent to remind manhood The world belongs to God And if the world drowns off In the mud of inky well And scribes and Pharisees Roar in the vanities Then we’ll still howl our dreams Writing down all our visions And against their arsenals We will unfold...

JUST LET ME BE
To be or not to be To smile or not to smile To wave or not to wave. A foe I must fight A stranger I must meet A friend I must greet. Why can't I just be A face that no one knows A voice that no one hears A person that no one sees. Why can't I just live Buried in the rubble Head...
