Sides, we fall and rise
I try to lend an ear but all I hear is false pride
So I've been on the outside lookin in
Not been thinking about the past or what could of been
I'm clear on all sides, we all fall and rise
I try to lend an ear but all I hear is false pride
So I've been at the shooting range killing time
Not been cloud gazing looking for a silver lining
Today was like the first day
Let there be light aside life
Day divided like Mr.Mojo rising to his height
See it started with a bang
A solitary sun spot
As strange words echoed through the void like a gunshot
One drop of blood became a pomegranate seed
Grew into a tree with forbidden fruit for me and Eve
The landlord took his keys and kicked us out thr garden
So we moved to New York and got a two bedroom apartment
But life seems mundane, and I'm to blame
So I don't have the right to complain
I'm spin cycling
Dark angels knock on our door and I invite them in
To bring to life the things I've supressed and help me write again
I could plant a seed and tear it out the ground
And kill it before it grows like Sheriff John Brown
Stare at a blank page for days, block days off
Parade around my block lost in thought till it pays off
Until the pain stops, until the rain drops
Turn to pomegranate seeds
Point me in the right direction, then aim and squeeze
The shot that echoes though the void's what created me
(Im clear on all)
Sides, we fall and rise
I try to lend an ear but all I hear is false pride
So I've been on the outside lookin in
Not been thinking about the past or what could of been
I'm clear on all sides, we all fall and rise
I try to lend an ear but all I hear is false pride
So I've been at the shooting range killing time
Not been cloud gazing looking for a silver lining
Today's the day I finish what I started
Put the final touches on it
Take the false bravado replace it with something honest
I'm in the lab, trying to figure out my brain chemistry
With good and evil on either side of me like parentheses
I keep my dogma on a short leash its ravenous
I feed off Cain's offspring and bible passages
My little hell hounds accusing me of sacrilege
But let's get back to rapping 'bout money, murder and avarice
Able got murked, Judas took the loot
Deca got a stomach virus from eating the forbidden fruit
I was duped by a tapeworm, accused of high treason
Given a moral code and taught to apply reason
But I don't listen well and mindless
obedience is like a prison cell, a living hell
Sinners cast stones at the old shattered bag of bones
In catacombs where I walk a crooked path alone
(Everything is music)
(I'm clear on all)
Sides, we fall and rise
I try to lend an ear but all I hear is false pride
So I've been on the outside lookin in
Not been thinking about the past or what could of been
I'm clear on all sides, we all fall and rise
I try to lend an ear but all I hear is false pride
So I've been at the shooting range killing time
Not been cloud gazing looking for a silver lining
Today was like the last day
We masquerade around backstage
Half-crazed with skulls like Fabergé eggs
When I crack the yolk breaks and the light cascades
I think the world came to life that way
I heard the end is like a new beggining
The curtains rise like a red tide
The devil's hanging by a politician's necktie
We all fall and rise, the stage comes alive
The veil drops and shes standing on the other side
Act 2 is the summer of '97
When I figured you got to go through hell to get to heaven
But point me in the right direction
I was somewhere in the darkest depths
When she dragged me out of my depression
There's no time better than now
I'll be gone awhile, drifting on a cloud
Daydreaming at the domicile
Two pupils like two black suns I saw her smile
She pulled a demon out of my head like God's child.
