A doctrine of archaic lessons
A culture of fear and confession
Guilt paves the path to your blessings
No questions; only offerings
As this inquisition
Urges submission of the mind
Negligent conjecture
On a guiding hand of the divine
I wonder if we’re trying to find
The truth or quick solutions
To the entangled consequences
Of reactions and wrong doings.
Given the choice
Why aren’t we using
Erudition to see through this?
A doctrine of archaic lessons
A culture of fear and confession
Pain paves the path to your blessings
No questions; only offerings
With amenities coercing belief
And prostration to the make believe

We really wanted to believe
It was something special
Everything we could conceive…
Some search forever,
But some, they just have it
And that should have been the break
But who really knew
How quickly it would ruin
We were all just so naïve
To think we could make it
With such weak ass will
But we needed to believe
These backyard arenas
Would keep us runnin’ all the while
‘Cause we knew that they’d go all the way
Given all the “whoas”!
They say don’t give up until the end
Well that’s where we appear to be
So far away
Yet we keep holding to this tether
But not for what it seems
Brotherhood,
Another family
Given what we know
New direction, new perspectives
We could never turn away
Lifers ‘til the end
We thought they’d have the world by now
Given all the “whoas”!

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
It all comes back to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
It all comes back to you
Keep a weather eye upon the storm
It’s growing all around you
As you’re looking forward
Beware the tempted tempest scorn
Will catch up with you eventually
Now you’re swimming shoreward
Time to atone now
For what you put people through
Time to change your tack, man
Before it comes back to you
You’re going down
I’m going down
We’re going down
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
It all comes back to you
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
It all comes back to me too
Actions speak much louder
You can’t run away forever
She’s coming for you

What the fuck ya doin'
You're about to ruin
What could be rearranged
Who the fuck ya playin'
There is no delayin'
The coming tides of change
And we have prevailed since the dawning of time
Liberating the soul from the powers that bind us
(from the powers that bind us.)
And you believe
In this routine
That says fuck those around you
Unless it conforms to
The benediction you seek
Benefiting the privileged
Suppressing the weak
Where the fuck ya goin'
We've been down this road and
We know where it leads
When the fuck will you see
Blatant insincerity
Imbedded in your deeds
And we have prevailed since the dawning of time
Liberating the soul from the powers that bind us
(from the powers that bind us.)
Since the dawning of time
Liberating the soul from the powers that bind us
(from the powers that bind us.)
And you believe,
In this routine,
That says fuck those around you
Unless it conforms to
The benediction you seek
Benefiting the privileged
Suppressing the weak
So you speak of love,
But get that word outcha' mouth
It is clear to me
You don't know what it means
So you speak of love
But get that word outcha' mouth
I can clearly see
You lack the capacity

Do you think you went the wrong way
Took the wrong turn, wandered astray
Now you’re looking back
It seems like you’ve lost all direction
So you wonder where you might be
Given chance and opportunity
Don’t you think that looking back
Is focus in the wrong direction?
Man, I feel just like you do
Life is full of bruises and battle scars
This world will tear your soul apart
Don’t let it dictate who you are
You can learn to fall the right way
You can learn to swim before you sink
You can live to fight another day
You’ve gone too far to throw it all away
You can learn to fall the right way
You can be strong even on the brink
So brace yourself…
The impact is not as bad as you think
Don’t regret, but
Don’t regress, and
Don’t forget to forgive yourself
You can learn to fall the right way
