Eyedea, Abilities - On This I Stand lyrics
[Eyedea, Abilities - On This I Stand lyrics]
On this I stand
Two sets of footprints placed ahead of
The dirt softened from tear drops
And overlooking the earth as the
Son of the moon
Protected by a forcefield of pure
Thought on this I stand
A rally of unemployed
Disgruntled words spawned
From long journeys through somewhere
Somewhere that only causes me pain as I
Strain my soul crammin it with (light?)
So I could bring some there
I bleed the blood of a cold
Stone that roams without a shadow
I'm only deep enough to
Realize that I'm shallow
My head I keep it up but
It's hard to keep it straight
When you don't believe in love
And you just can't cope with hate
Metal rust, leaves turn into dust
As the difference between love and
Lust clarifies as trust
If you only had an hour to
Sum your whole life up
Would you spend that hour sayin
That an hour ain't enough
I've escaped the shell that
Bound me to cowardice
Now I'm faithful to the wind but
Compared to it I'm powerless
The first step was made
And it was a fair accomplishment
The pond was sittin still
So I threw a rock in it
And as my reflection rippled
It all became clear
The seasons always change so there's
No reason for fear
We made an autobiography of our pivotal years
Its all I got and I'm giving
It you because I care
See, a lot of the time humans as artists
Exist in a self-projected state of falsehood
We're either too close to our image
To stay objective in our perception
Or too far away to be
Subjective in any matter
This only widens the void
In social conformity
I don't write without the
Intention of objectivity
Or attention on the image
But only as an omni-directional bridge
Between the several
(floating, tunnel structured?)
Realities present in comparable
Space and time
See I don't write for the future
I write about the future, for the present
I write with my past, about the future
For the present on this I stand
The oasis of a limbo
Adjacent to my generation
Facing out the window
Waiting for some ventilation
Patient while the wind blows
Graceful in it's demonstration
Overall innovation on this I stand
A fountain of youth sovereignty
(found in?) 1000 syllables more than
A pound of flesh deep breath of achievement
A dream and a wake up call
Another haul of the quest on this I stand
A letter to civilization on this I stand
The purity of creation on this I stand
A paradigm for self on this I stand
I thank you for your help on this I stand
My first born child on this I stand
Something for now on this I stand
Life, love, death and hate on this I stand
An album, glad you could relate peace
Two sets of footprints placed ahead of
The dirt softened from tear drops
And overlooking the earth as the
Son of the moon
Protected by a forcefield of pure
Thought on this I stand
A rally of unemployed
Disgruntled words spawned
From long journeys through somewhere
Somewhere that only causes me pain as I
Strain my soul crammin it with (light?)
So I could bring some there

Stone that roams without a shadow
