life in the balance
Singer:four owls, the
like a leaf clings to a tree
the world is well balanced like karma is
do you find freedom on the front line where the army is
or in your mind opening the left part of this
i feel it in-between my bones just like the cartilage
when i'm parting this world i won't be sad
the true gift was the blessing of life that i've had
you can think that i'm mad
ol' leaf's on some hippy shit
it took a lot of changes in me to consider it
inspired by an old ancient manuscript
it's a sign of the times that's hidden in the lines
the description is what the indigenous define
assure as the sun won't shine
the balance is untold in this life we all in
with the things that molded how i've grown
looking at the bigger picture
there'll always be people like hitler
mother teresa tryna fix the world
then ghandi making sure the scales don't tip turn
that darker side but that's just the mix in life's elixir
without bad there's no good
without wood there's no fire
without the hood the posh house price wouldn't be higher
no dick dropping rubbish there's no work for street sweepers
without life there'd be no death
and that i don't stop the pain
just concentrate on the memories they left
when i'm looking at the stars i realise
i'm just a speck on the earth's surface
i measure my worth by my intellect
some people fall in line and others have got dreams
we all do our best with the tools we were given
shit my hammer and chisel is this life that i'm living'
in fact flip that eight on its side
because now i infinitely chase
for that intimate embrace with lady luck
how long can someone stay in a rut?
do i know myself? and if not
is that why i can't control myself?
i got a family man i should be responsible
same time mind states held in that constant ball
that's why my girls so stressed hey
'cause i get under your skin like an x-ray
but let's pray that it change for the best
now i'm ready for the next day
your in life with the next brain
tryna be the opposite like a sex change
its like i'm standin' on the moon staring at the world
tryna work out the balance of this life we hold
it's all a mystery encrypted in the mayan scrolls
the cycle of the fifth sun is coming to a close
2012 will only truly show us what that holds
the plot thickens as i stand here to break the mold
tryin' not to feel the cold
but some people walkin' by are fueled with an icy soul
they take your life for your frigging phone
the selfless give a child a home
rich feed the rich while the others just apply for loans
but love that's the finest gold
i gotta live fast and won't be dying barely old
hedonistic lifestyles reflect how our lives unfold
life is one big cycle like the vinyl spinnin' round it goes
see a billion desperate parts conjoined and deified brilliance
emerging like blood when blunt words collide
the ice sliced his feet to bits
but you ain't gotta teach it shit
'cause the change is instinctual
but never put your faith in a fake individual
from the fangs and the mandibles and talons
to mannicles and batons to cannons
to mechanical contraptions
that could turn the earth back to a burnt black chasm
to fractal patterns i saw spinning
in the caverns of my mind once
if i could see a bright sky shine when my eyes shut
