Looking in as an outsider. I have seen you slip. Are you really happy. Or just trying to forget. . Every joyful moment is reciprocated. By a desperate and lonely thought.
Can you fill this emptiness inside. Can you share the secrets that you hide. Trying to find. A friend to end my pain. The faces change. But the feeling stays the same.
Well she comes from the land. Of Valencian winds. Deciduous daydream. Dressage 'round the bend. See sometimes just maybe. The mistress of when. A triptych of new touch.
[Verse 1: Chuck D]. Bring that beat back, we set it off "we set it off". Got us back for combat, we get it raw "we get it raw". With a counterattack over tracks we build minds of the blind.
I know I'll never be good enough. And I don't care, 'cause I'm never giving up. . How does it feel when you can't hold your own?. And how does it feel when desperation has left you alone?.
Let us pretend love for the day. The life we live alludes to things away. Suppose in youth the soul depraves. But now suppose the truth's beyond the grave.
Knock on the door and the door knocks back. The joke never go no further than that. Fire goes back inside the match. Back down the stack. . And we hustle and cuss, lick on the dust.
A fix that saves the dead. I'll do it once. And my mouth's wide open. . Now I'm here again. Another fuck. With a monkey controlling me. . I can't get myself away from this.
We're flying on the wings of faith. We're flying on the wings of faith. Don't let me down. Don't let me down. . We're gliding on the winds of change. We're gliding on the winds of change.
Oh, another face joins the crowd. It's time to impress, time to prove yourself. You don't realize. That in a year's time you'll be over this. . Moved on to the next trend.
It was hard to avoid. I suppose it was the shame. But they didn't even try. You see we'd never met. . And they didn't have names. There was nothing I could do.
[feat. dead prez & Bazaar Royale]. . [Intro:]. "What do you see when you're in the dark and the demons come? ". "I see you. I see you standing over the grave of another dead president".
I never know how to treat you. You say I love you but it ain't true. I'm walking away now. One step forward and back two. . I'd like to grab you by the hair.
You've waited here just to be thrown away. And your a paracite,. Feeding off the last one standing. And now your fallin'. Fallin' to the ground with clenched fists.
(here we are). Here we are, haven't we come far. From the tragic things we knew. Gone is the dark (where the demons flock). In the mountains they've got no view.
Blindfolds and cigarettes. Black hoods and camcorders televise homicide. Soldiers in shallow graves. Martyrs and thought police waiting to take you away.
The hands of time. Are frozen in this moment. I can't spit it out. For fear has overtaken my voice. . Waiting seems impossible. Different stages. Waiting seems impossible.
In the blackest of light. You try to sell the sooth, you try to turn me on. And undercover at night. In times of ill refute they play a distant song. When there's a sudden surprise.
We're left hanging by a string. Stripped of all meaning. Raped by atonement. A stoning continued to bleed. Gagged by their judgements. And left with no promise.
