Strung Out

I'm preaching life
I'm preaching thought
cause I see it all around me as it struggles to unfold on a world
born afraid
I don't need science no reason to calculate what's here inside
no answers won
no questions asked will chase this feeling away
I know about hate
I've been in love
and I've seen everyone around me close their eyes and turn tostone
I've seen hope in disguise
well I'm not trying to save your soul
don't wanna show direction
don't wanna take control
I've been a lie
I've told a lie but I'm trying to get it better each day I try
life shot in the vein
pumped in the heart
awaking my soul
knocked down
kicked in the face
shown the easy path is the hardest way down
I've drawn to one conclusion that no one really understandsanything
we're all grinding gears
don't know which way is up
once the soul is dead the mind ain't far away
on the steps of my mind one thousand thoughts decline away
