when I was younger I tried to wander
but I never understood how good it felt
to be rebellious against the ones who had control
so now I’m going at my own pace, feelin’ great
and damn it’s good to be alive
and ascribing to the love that we can make
we gotta take to the next level
we gotta break it through, embrace, revel,
one disheveled heavily impresses on the others
if they cover one another with a blanket technicolor
we be livin’ in some strange times,
gotta steal from the man just to get by
but there’s still a hand demanding us to step in line
fuckin’ mindless primal inept elitist guidance
so we stick it out, at least we still have dreams
so we may come out short but it still has meaning
neatly breeding sweetness, through self-treatment
weak limbs break free
easy, increasingly pleasing
to reasons, new seasons greeting
“being with completeness”
to reach this seems ridiculously far away
but it’s closer every day gotta let it rain, entertain
some struggle, pain
oooohhhhhh maayyyynnnee
when nobody’s weird, we’ll know were at home
we’ll drink from the same cup, we’ll tell what we hide
in visions we tether, we’ll weather our lives
and never feel effort to give to what’s right,
love, it’s the soul of the human race
key to my heart, go ahead and open up the gate
the one thing that bleeds honesty, plant the seed,
what I wanna see no more pain and suffering
you’re still young, I understand you’ve got faith,
but what if you found out everything you know is fake,
basing all your time on earth on the afterlife,
fuck man, it won’t matter if you’re not around
ashes spread to mist, all the opportunities missed
infinite darkness, you got no thick book to read,
stuck in limbo, feeling like such dumbo,
boy, wish you woulda found inner peace
just want you and I to live with an open heart
cuz hell, even I believe our souls go somewhere,
just think we need to find love in each other
