Ruckus Roboticus - Laxidazia lyrics

[Adam WarRock] And it stings like a cigarette Because you're dealing with forces You haven't figured yet Lost inside the silhouette Sit back, relax and listen As i lift the curse Open to the wisdom Submission into the universe Shift reality Open up your cerebral cortex Back to ethereal And pa** your soul Straight through the vortex And listen closely As you're drifting to sleep I know the spirit is willing But your body is weak Release your earth form And submit to these substances While keeping your body's Blood warm and feasting Off this beat for sustenance Relax your body And free your mind Sit back, relax As you'll find in due time That it burns like a shot of jack Because these demons You're fighting, they never fought back Lost inside your thoughts of that So life rocked your a** back a couple paces As you sit and scan the crowd Looking past these puppets' faces We all decayed past bodies Through carbon cycles And restless for the future While still feeling suicidal And going back through metamorphosis And asking for bigger portions with Last meals over fat deals Or bigger dollar endorsement tips Because the real is to the soul To the mind So d**h is just a state And purgatory's a bind Stuck here for centuries Simply pa**ing the time Puffing on this cigarette Sipping on this wine And it kicks like a drum beat Because these visions of fortune Are never complete Hidden from the sun's heat Wrapped in pensive tendencies Over the simple life While still debating enemies Listening as they twist the knife You push yourself for successes And worldly endeavors While bleeding from your thoughts And leaving these bridges severed Belief in what men have to offer In this stage of sense Let go of your hatred And just do it for the innocence You burned through life And thought your power was gone And every hour upon But now your power is strong Existence for the simple And singing songs for the temple That we lift our voices higher And create art with a pencil And infest us like a last regret Because you realize Nothing is really finished yet Time for you to resurrect For every unfinished creation That you started To every person whose life you touched Leaving them brokenhearted That this end isn't the end But the beginning of the message We're sending Determine for yourself The reasons you're contending Cause at first, you used to do it out of Social obligation And now your force is faded You realize your vocation That the greatness that you reach Isn't the sum of what you speak But rather Parts of how you live And the boundaries that you breach That for greater men Their struggle is never done in this battle But for me i sit and drink As the next chapter unravels And it stings like a cigarette
