What Do You Believe In

think outside the box and read between the lines
hidden messages everywhere we look

a look a move a style a glance a smile
instantly or hiding away

in a book on paper in a  dollar bill
secret messages are leading us through

people hunt and search to find their way
avoiding walking under ladders

a black cat a sidewalk crack a totum poll
voodoo dolls and witch doctors

strong beliefs and strict laws all blend as one
faces covered lambs slaughtered

candles of all colors burning strong
apples hallowed out with names in them

you say i say we all say it must be ok
chicken blood cult rituals

all becomes ones own belief
we hold them near close to our hearts

until they take it away
