[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]
