Pontifex - MindField lyrics

[Verse 1] My culture has beauty but lament pervades Saturated with self and black parades It persecutes the body and the slaughter still legal Man turned beast, and the feast turns lethal We forfeit the regal, crown cast to the ground Talents twisted narcissistic, examples abound Trample on his mercy put the nails back on beams Removing his presence is not as glamorous as it seems Smoke and mirrors, plastic figures with no substance And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't _____________________________________________ Stand with my fellow man facing rejection How much of this real, how much is perception? Is he really my enemy Can I risk my heart? Embrace the cross & let life imitate art Struggle to love in the face of hate Maybe it's my hate, it's a constant debate Is this authentic or a media stunt Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't [Chorus] I'm sand in you hour gla**, walking on the line Trying to make my way through this invention called time Push through open door but found that it wasn't And sometimes it clicks and sometimes in doesn't [Verse 2] Let's get to it, straight to, like thorns piercing through it My request is simple at best don't let this quest end in vain In the desert of my soul I pray for rain In the MindField of my heart I pray for rain With this problem of pain I try to maintain this Quo A status yet pushing past it struggling trying to grow Unlatch the window and let it blow deep inside this soul I want a wear a crown of thorns instead one of pure gold This world is getting old same old drama it seems Eye, flesh and pride disguised as American dreams Just schemes that leave the seeker empty While glossing over banquets of the good and the plenty Who sent me? that's what they all keep asking Got this priest on this microphone and rappin, simple packing Grabbing nothing for the landing With echoes in the distance from that last man standing [Chorus] [Verse 3] Cautious steps taken to navigate through safely I feel that stir deep in my stomach on the daily Signs say this is the light but it feel like a cold night He said this is the way, I'm just hoping I heard it right Called to walk it but the unknown can blur my vision The path may be clear but I'm just waiting for the collision Chasing shadows, dark whispers can cloud my judgement And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't Layers of history found on the side of a mountain A drop of water in the rushing flow of a fountain The universe is vast, I'm just a spec on this planet Billions of faces but not one taken for granted Lost forever but rescued by love's relentless hunt And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't
