lyrics

I didn't want to rap again but just listen to that beat
I was sure I would never dance again
but I look down and I am tapping my feet
I didn't want to hate the world so I paid it no attention
All our leaders want these wars
so I wished on stars and whole constellations
Laughing while we played with fire, forgetting every lesson
it had to be uncertainty, walking away tore a hole in my world
that we swirled out in like a riptide
it wasn't what I wanted when it tasted sweet
is it a Holy Spirit or a demon we seek?

I began my life with a terrible disbelief
and God was in the story books
and in the minds of madmen
with no ties to reality
now here I am playing the part of the madman
trying to find my way back to reality
I returned to find that I was the
bitter and unforgiving god I had feared all the long
it's all the beautiful things
that find their way to me.

Life is liberty
Life is slavery
Life is victory
Life is tragedy
Life is comedy
Life honesty
Life is all these things...
