What would your mind do?
If our minds could move
They'd fly away from us, and never dig the same groove.
Our minds, they need to be constantly fed
Not kept snuggled up in bed.
We could be smart
But we put our mind's too much in our hearts.
I'm not smart, so don't take it the wrong way
I just wanted to point it out today.
Our minds would turn into a flock of birds and fly away
But for some reason we make it stay.
I wish I could let my mind fly
I wonder if it would go past the sky.
I wish I could just see what my mind can see
Because it...

Spew Obscure Colors
I've got so many dreams and aspirations
I've got so many words, rhymes, drawings and creations
I don't know where to shoot for though,
The stars are much too low.
My life
The feelings are my right
My right of the feelings inspire me to write.
No one else's dreams could ever come close to this height.
But they all do
We all have our dreams and wait for them to come true
The only difference is though,
I'm not gonna wait, waiting is too slow.
The papers fill up with colorful inks
In my head I feel obscurity making a link...

No Longer Be A Fool
Life...there are so many different categories
From what's happening now, to some lost frozen memory.
The one being addressed tonight
Is one that has lately made me not feel so right.
The wonderful world of right and wrong
When your actions fall short, or take you long.
Nothing seems to be right when it is
Nothing seems to be wrong when it is.
I mess up
Any form of apology doesn't come gentle, just distant and rough.
I won't lie about it though
I haven't tried to do the right thing, my actions seem to disperse like snow....

Clear Your Mind, But Don't Forget Your Soul
When you cleans your mind but not your soul
It's like paying your body an expensive toll.
Saying that your head is clear
When your soul is still conflicted, and your losing control to steer.
You make all the right changes
You're still crumbling inside as you roll through the ages.
It's tough living a good life
When it seems like your only friend is strife.
When it's hard to make it through the night
Without that one person their to hold you tight.
When it's hard to open up
After everyone's used you, and the road you walk is...
It's like paying your body an expensive toll.
Saying that your head is clear
When your soul is still conflicted, and your losing control to steer.
You make all the right changes
You're still crumbling inside as you roll through the ages.
It's tough living a good life

When it's hard to make it through the night
Without that one person their to hold you tight.
When it's hard to open up
After everyone's used you, and the road you walk is...

Blind Heart Beats
Innocents cascading down into a gentle stream
Heart beats running, not one, not two, not three.
Every heart, beating in synchronized harmony
Every heart, beating a soft tune for me.
Not one single person sees the other
We're all blind, from my best friend, to my mother.
We can't see what the outside beholds
We can feel what happens inside, and cherish the moments we hold.
We're not worrying about how the other sees us
We can't see, even if we could, we wouldn't cause a fuss.
No one is sad
No one is hurt, crying or mad.
...

Coloring Outside The Lines
Coloring outside the lines
So much fun to roll around in the grime
So much fun to commit a few petty crimes.
Coloring outside the lines
While the important men sip their wines
While the important men discuss their bloodlines.
Coloring outside the lines
Floating in between what's yours and what's mine
Floating in between good, bad, and just fine.
Coloring outside the lines
Dare to define
Dare to make the battle cry.
Coloring outside the lines
Ignore what you hear through the grape vine
Ignore what someone else's...
So much fun to roll around in the grime
So much fun to commit a few petty crimes.
Coloring outside the lines
While the important men sip their wines
While the important men discuss their bloodlines.
Coloring outside the lines
Floating in between what's yours and what's mine
Floating in between good, bad, and just fine.
Coloring outside the lines
Dare to define
Dare to make the battle cry.
Coloring outside the lines
Ignore what you hear through the grape vine
Ignore what someone else's...

Creativity in its most fake form
Making your mark on this world won't change a thing
Nothing goes away, there's still life left to draw and words left to sing.
Putting your hand print down to show you were here
Do you honestly do it to try to make a change, or simply to instill fear?
Everyone is all the same
You want the world to be different, you want everything to change.
When it comes down to what you really want
It's not change, it's not a new world.
You hate you
You wish you weren't fake, you wish your lies could become true.
You want yourself to change...
Nothing goes away, there's still life left to draw and words left to sing.
Putting your hand print down to show you were here
Do you honestly do it to try to make a change, or simply to instill fear?
Everyone is all the same
You want the world to be different, you want everything to change.
When it comes down to what you really want
It's not change, it's not a new world.
You hate you
You wish you weren't fake, you wish your lies could become true.
You want yourself to change...
