Chasing Owl

I was once told by a wise man
Go and look at yourself by your nightstand
As clarity starts to heighten
Close your eyes I'll enlighten
You broken hearted, your soul is starving
Stop the crying I ain't even started
Open your eye pin point the target
Money and statues that's dumb retarded
You chasing this you chasing that
Then you waste your life trying to get it back
How's that working out for you jack?
And you'll keep doing this till your lights are black
And it makes no sense to me
You keep buildin' up your own misery
Then you drinkin' down alcohol instantly
And now your body is full of that intoxity
I said now freeze...
Open your mind...
And you'll see what you find
And now at ease...
I give you so many signs...
But you still living blind
You give an inch you want a mile
A hundred dollar now a hundred thou
Empty inside and you wonder how
Grind all day not one smile
If you keep doing things that's asinine you gonna get the same thing like every time
Full of ravenous demons that's in your mind
And then I heard em say...

I... E... I... E... I
I... E... I... E... I
Where are you running to?
Who who. running too. Who who who
Where are you running to?
I... E... I... E... I
I... E... I... E... I
Where are you running to?
Who who... running too. Who who who
Where are you running to?

You treat your life like a Rubik's cube and stuck in a maze in your inner tube
Keep accepting that servitude and you really let the stress get in to you
Still playin this game of the rat race
Trying to find a bigger bag with a fat case
Well in that case... you'll get what you want but you'll find yourself in a bad space
Now you lost, noisy thoughts, smoking weed
Poisoned heart, now everything falls apart
And now you need your drugs for your jump start
All alone in the unknown
All you hear is the dial tone
Trying to straighten your life like a hot comb
I said just let it go...
Keep do what you do...
That's suicide
Like water just let it flow...
You don't have to move... just let it ride
If you stay still you can hear yourself
Pay attention to your inner health
But you to busy trying to chase your wealth
Now you fell in the trap what the devils delt
If you keep doing things that's asinine you gonna get the same thing like every time
Full of ravenous snakes that will bend your spine
And then I heard em say...

I... E... I... E... I
I... E... I... E... I
Where are you running to?
Who who. running too. Who who who
Where are you running to?
I... E... I... E... I
I... E... I... E... I
Where are you running to?
Who who... running too. Who who who
Where are you running to?

You addicted to your vision
Material things that is listed
If you look inside and just listen
You can understand why you so distant
Big boss man now what?
Got the fancy car now what?
Got the big house now what?
Why you runnin hard so much?
Look here...
You cannot run from yourself, you cannot hide from yourself
So why you chasing yourself
Hugh... Hugh... hugh... hugh...
You cannot run from yourself, you cannot hide from yourself
So why you chasing yourself
Hugh... Hugh... hugh... hugh...
Gave you the world but you want more
Make a lot of money but you want more
Got many things but you want more
Can you really tell me what for
If you keep doing things that's asinine you gonna get the same thing like every time
Then you gonna stay trapped that's by design
Then you can truly say...

I... E... I... E... I
I... E... I... E... I
Where are you running to?
Who who... running too. Who who who
Where are you running to?
I... E... I... E... I
I... E... I... E... I
Where are you running to?
Who who... running too. Who who who
Where are you running to?
