You don’t know me, and you never will,
You’re everything that’s wrong with US, here take a pill.
A pill solves everything!,
If you believe that, life is going to sting.
But your body won’t know,
So high on propaganda you are covered in snow.
Not the cold and wet, the dry lines of white,
Pumped into the streets under the broken light.
How did it get there? No help from “The Man?”
Don’t be naïve, they practically put it on your hand.
It keeps you down, but makes you feel up.
You’re moving weight in the gutter, forever stuck. ...

Why do people hide from the truth
I'll never understand the reason
Why are people blind to reality
Because if it's not fiction, it's treason
Freedom of speech frees the mind
But if your mind is spoken
The freedom is broken
And your tounge might as well be ripped from your soul
Because it's hard to realize the real lies
When the fake truths are so old
Timelessness is still time
So when time stands still
Time wasted itself
Now it's too late to chase dreams or build self-wealth
You only live once is what they say
But who follows them...

I remember when we were kids, you and me against it all.
You were always the strong one and would never let me fall.
Not my brother but you were. I know you understand.
At such a young age you were forced to be a man.
Your dad busy at work and your mom busy with the bottle.
You hit the streets hard with a wide-open throttle.
I always looked up to you and felt safe with you around,
even though sometimes you would try and push me down.
Not to be cruel but to teach me to fight,
you kinda saw me as soft and in a way you were right.
You told me...

THIS NEEDS TO BE KNOWN”
by: DAN HITNER

Love,
Love is like a fire. The more you put into it, the longer it lasts
If it is ignored, that brightness will pass
Pass? Oh yes it will pass.
It needs to be recognized in all of its forms.
Lack of love is the cause of all the social storms

This needs to be known

Love is not just a word, it is many other things.
Allow love into your life, and changes it will bring.
Changes like:
A picture with a smile, not a picture with a frown.
Allow love into your life and it will turn your world...

I was there when you said no, not right now, maybe tomorrow.
It was me you passed by, full of excuses and sorrow.
Why play safe, Because better safe than sorry?
Bull sh*t! Today’s moment right now is tomorrow’s yesterday story.
What kind of future would it be without mistakes from the past?
The reason you shouldn’t, is why you should, just get rid of the cast.  
The cast is your restraint, unable to move and grow.
Sure you’ll probably fall, but how else will you learn to go against the flow,
Against the grain, go left instead of right?
That dark path...
