[Verse 1]
Sadly, I never understood the things around me
Never understood the inner to the hour
Found me deep till I'm drifting slowly
My mind is soul lonely
Tried to listen but the preacher told me
Pour me a drink please, make it a double sir
Yes, I'm going to tip you well
Where heaven and earth, pleasure, hurt, love meld
Crazy talk? Nah, nah, this is the old religion
f** the plasma television, all I want is clearer vision
Yes, I need somebody because the pain is open
Pop only call when he need money chosen
Grown man but I need another
So goddamn, where's my f**ing brother?
Yes, I miss my mother
This is an old religion, a deeper meaning of teaching
My eyes are open thinking the feeling is just believing
Adrift, like my relationship with others
Never get it right, I'm too selfish undercover
Want to change my ways but it takes a long time
But at least I am aware it's myself I want to find
Bring it to the upmost, the strong will survive
Not the strong in the arm but the strong of the mind
Treat you how I treat myself
Yeah, I know the golden rule
But if I treat myself like sh**
What am I to do to you?
Treat you how I treat myself
Yeah, I know the golden rule
But if I treat myself like sh**
[Hook]
Cause' I'm sitting by Siddartha by the edge of the river
Listening eagerly to the voices the tide will deliver
See my love flowing by
Dragon vein in the sky
Where Heaven and Earth will meet
Watching Icarus fly
Cycle of events, d**h and rebirth
Yin and yang, circling verse
Born of the dust, return to the dirt
So what is it now?
Yes, the world suffused with sound
Tune the Earth till utopia found
[Verse 2]
f** the pretense and f** the fakeness
I see you like a ghost right through and changing faces
Double-speak all the time and your message ain't clear
The real reason you talk ain't a blessing endeared
We search space looking for life
But can't even help the lives of those that's hurting right here
So turn the soul searching, the inner universes
The span of God encompa** the wonderful reverses
The hurt is urgent, insurgents are sitting in your churches
Emotional terrorists, holding all the good for ransom
Life is ugly, so is d**h handsome
God is cruel, so the fire burning
Is this the higher purpose?
I just can't never get it
Self became religion
Wealth the circumcision
Greed the proposition
Watching on television, m**m versus the Christian
Fact and superstition
We talk but never listen
I'd like to think we're human but some of the things we doing?
In the name of higher
Power, blood, and fire
[Hook]
