lyrics

it was all for the art of it
put the heart in it
from the start of it
let it harden
now i shiver at the thought of it

i just wanted to be part of something


but when i look again
that was all make pretend
that was make a plan
break it
and than start again
that was make it all about you
in spite of them
like why fight a demon?
just invite him in


a snake move in tighter skin
i can see him playing tiny violins
how much time you putting in?
still haven’t given in

"oh what it could’ve been"


but for a meager living
all the feeble give in
the church and the steeple got no people in it
straight ego driven
speak hedonism
King So and So edition
keep that Holland tunnel vision

what you turning into?

that's a whole other version of you

standing on the back of what you wanted to do


this is outsider art
inside of heart
in spite of our
insight of all

its on your blind side

now how long can this charade last?
I'm just asking cause i used to wear the same mask
“its a vibe”
i scribe pictures on my vision side
too little, too late

i could never pick a side


nothing left to sell
cause there isn’t shelves
answer living within self
but it didn’t help

still got the rain soaked
heavy wings
keep a steady hand
pour heavy drinks

none of this is planned
and it doesn’t think
you hear it coming
its all done in a simple blink


its been here the whole time


now what you turning into?

that's a whole other version of you

standing on the back of what you wanted to do


"I was trained to think of myself a certain way
from my parents
my education
my culture
and to get reassurance from the minds of other human beings
that I was doing it right
...the problem was..
that inside..
it didn't feel good..
it was as if I was wearing a piece of clothing that didn't fit right
and that I was trying to make myself ...make it fit..
so I would scrunch my body
so that it would fit perfect
so that I could be the somebody
everybody wanted me to be
and I would be in pain
and people would come and say

what a lovely suit

what beautiful material"

-RamDass
