and we are filled with 'ideas' that throw us off course
ensconced in the world's insipid ideologies
handed down first by our parents then our teachers/schools employers and so on and on we go
quarter century later gravitating to the big city because that's where we need to be to be "in the loop" a place where we can BE someone
today's special flavour of the week employee of the month pushing forward because that's what you're supposed to do
it's no wonder why we need to 'medicate' in a jar
ah - all those precious memories
back to the days when young students - boys mostly were strapped for misbehaving (boner, I mean bonus) for their unwillingness to be compliant
I need your lovin' ... like the sunshine
in an abstract absence of empathy and humility deliriously distracted denizens
harassing those who are independent thinkers for being unwilling to learn how to play the game properly
it is a simple message play by the rules and you'll be rewarded question them and you'll be punished plain and simple
truth is
we learn to 'adapt' to our surroundings at an early age - reprimanded for rebelling when in fact challenging the system is what all great thinkers did/do to this day
only all too often many (most) of us are convinced early on that what we ultimately want is something not possible
fear is instilled, then the waiting game begins
waiting for something better to come along and release us from the cage only it never does
accepting our fate, our chosen destiny chosen by others - quietly coming to terms with the crappy hand of cards we've been dealt because
that's just what you do go ahead, have your way with me
I surrender
change your heart - look around you
I'm in heaven - I mean ok, maybe I'll get lucky some day maybe God will come down and give me a lap-dance but only if I stick to the plan and never question the truth
creature comforts in the pleasure dome glued to our sacred sacraments in HD on our soiled screens
waiting
it's just a theory
that makes a lot more sense
to me
V I S IO N A R Y
as an artist/composer looking back my favourite musical compositions are always those created and conceived (and recorded) in a very short time-frame (minutes/hours)
thinking about it too much
just made it more elusive, distant it's like it just arrives out of nowhere
with a simple invitation
visionaries
are those who see light in the darkness and quickly harness it instead of ignoring the signs and signals
embracing them
turning nothing into something change your heart it will astound you
if you care for your children keep their environment uncluttered free of useless gadgets and distractions keep your conversation honest and straight-forward free of control and manipulation free of hidden agendas free of fear breathe
keeping one's decisions fair and generous free of punishment and shame
we lay down on the floor of this house that you were formed in
and the marks on your skin tell your story to my fingers
close my eyes like a blind man and I wait to ride the night

watch clip first
out is the moon as it lights a naked shoulder and this scar that it leaves is it all that you take with you as the fires all ignite like one thousand magic lanterns close my eyes like a blind man and I wait to ride the night
