Identity Crisis

The potion shop
The honest motive of
The victims of this modern world
It's sink or swim
No one will help you float
Roll with the tide to stay alive

In life everlasting
The push and the pull
Will unite or divide
If we're not made of concrete
Oil or steel
Do we still feel alive?

What's done for certain people
The one, it was done
For it has a meaning
For absent reasons it touched
Wrong nerves on the brain
Makes people insane

Careful for what you tell these people
For what you say
They will remember times
You destroy their only means

Their means only existed in a mass fantasy world

From the cradle, instilled with haste
Taught to bury ourselves
Beneath a blanket of fear
So thick we can't see who we are

Quicksands all around me
Trying to suck me down
The vultures will rob us of all
We cannot let them have our minds

Between heaven and hell there is a common ground
Open your eyes and just look around
Walking alone taking all the cuts
Our blood gets thinner with every step
I know a place to go
Where legends and gods once roamed
The surface streets were stolen through the ages

To keep us free from sin
We've come back again
To set foot on land of years ago and remember

I drowned in the sea
Brought hundreds down with me
The remnants of our lives float to the surface

Outside on my lawn
Admiring the grass he was standin' on
I would have got my gun but I remembered

How does our leader get off
The rules must be money backed guaranteed systems
Left us in ruins, rebuilt to destroy
Given time and space delusions of our peace
All go unnoticed
We're all nuts so the rules didn't apply anyways

There's only one thing for sure
The gross amount of people
Can't be out of their minds
It's gotta be the system

Attacks led by leaders causing unbalanced plague
Spread like a wildfire
Disasters over ice caps cause tides to rise
Magma boils out of the inside
Hold on you're in for a ride

What a trip we had
From all the places we've gone
Was it all really there
And then we just stop

We can't run
We must grow
Our blatancy squeezes me
Now I've got vertigo

Tell Mother that I won't be in
I went on a walk and now I'm lost
Where to from here
Well I'm not quite sure but
Guess that I'll just have to learn to love

My brain is racin' fast as hell
All wound up, can't wind down
I'm wonderin' why I can't seem to remember who I am
Put myself in my place
Oh so many times and now I
Just want me to tell myself that I'm here and all is fine
Why don't you sit down, have a drink
Maybe two or hell, eighteen
You've got to learn to hide and not to care
It's just your mind
Now I'm here, or maybe there
I can't quite tell, should I care?
I'm diggin', diggin', diggin'
It's just time

I'm chiselin' at the layer
Of fear caked on my soul
I once was lost and now I found
There is a bigger picture
