in a world of copy cats
in an era of followers
in a time of liars
in a time of thieves
walk your own path
be your own person
do what feels natural
do what feels right
don't follow the crowd
don't follow the mob
don't do without thinking
don't live without feeling
live for a purpose
live for a reason
invest in yourself
change with the season
be what you want
be what you choose
be who you are
be your original star

Pursuit of Truth
September 10, 2010 - 14:41
to be lied to is like death
you never see it coming
to turn great into less
to lose more than something
honesty above all else precludes
but in doing so the truth eludes
what is sacred can never be known
what is true cannot be shown
the truth is not told or written
it is not worshiped or smitten
it is embraced without reproach
its boundaries you cannot encroach
you don't choose truth, it chooses you
but you too must choose to be true
for truth's feet are forever fleeting
it provides no comfortable meeting
it is raw and pure and can never be shaped
it is blunt and jagged with cuts that gape
not everyone can bow to its mercy
can you forever handle depth instead of cursory
truth is all around but we don't look
truth doesn't explain, it leaves you shook
to pick up the pieces of reality and grow
learn, change, adapt, know, row and go
but the truth is you can't grasp
the truth that you will relapse
into the pain your lies create
to nourish you and supplicate
no one can be entirely honest
even those who try their earnest
because truth isn't told or sold
control is an illusion you cannot hold
you can never know the truth
so it's best to let it go, but don't forget
the lost innocence of youth
when life was simple without lies or regret
to be lied to is like death
you never see it coming
to turn great into less
to lose more than something
honesty above all else precludes
but in doing so the truth eludes
what is sacred can never be known
what is true cannot be shown
the truth is not told or written
it is not worshiped or smitten
it is embraced without reproach
its boundaries you cannot encroach
you don't choose truth, it chooses you
but you too must choose to be true
for truth's feet are forever fleeting
it provides no comfortable meeting
it is raw and pure and can never be shaped
it is blunt and jagged with cuts that gape
not everyone can bow to its mercy
can you forever handle depth instead of cursory
truth is all around but we don't look
truth doesn't explain, it leaves you shook
to pick up the pieces of reality and grow
learn, change, adapt, know, row and go
but the truth is you can't grasp
the truth that you will relapse
into the pain your lies create
to nourish you and supplicate
no one can be entirely honest
even those who try their earnest
because truth isn't told or sold
control is an illusion you cannot hold
you can never know the truth
so it's best to let it go, but don't forget
the lost innocence of youth
when life was simple without lies or regret

I walk without purpose
Strolling on this road to nowhere
The sun, the rain, darkness falls
Still I do not care
Living is a distant memory
While tears drown my beer
But my sorrow never lessens
No life, no cares, no fear
The King is truly dead
And so I live solely to die
Pain is my only solace
My suffering makes me feel alive
I walk without purpose
Strolling on this road to nowhere
The sun, the rain, darkness falls
Still I do not care
Living is a distant memory
While tears drown my beer
But my sorrow never lessens
No life, no cares, no fear
The King is truly dead
And so I live solely to die
Pain is my only solace
My suffering makes me feel alive
