All That We Own

I need a place to be
I need a face to see me when I’m coming home
It’s not plain to see why I’ve been grieving
Just that I’m alone

In need of graces
They’re hardly shown
Sharing our spaces
And all that we own

I need a place to be where I can think clearly
And progress is shown
Don’t wait for me, you’d better be leaving
I can sense your tone

In need of graces
They’re hardly shown
Wearing torn laces
They’re all that we own
I need a place to be
I need a face to see me when I’m coming home
Don’t wait for me, you’d better be leaving
I can sense your tone
In need of graces

They’re hardly shown
Wearing torn laces
They’re all that we own

I need a place to be
I need a face to see me when I’m coming home
It’s not plain to see why I’ve been grieving

In need of graces
They’re hardly shown
Sharing our spaces
And all that we own
I need a place to be
I need a face to see me when I’m coming home
Don’t wait for me, you’d better be leaving
I can sense your tone
In need of graces (I need a place to be, I need a face to see me)
They’re hardly shown (when I’m coming home)
Wearing torn laces (It’s not plain to see why I’ve been grieving)
They’re all that we own
All that we own
All that we own

Clearing in the Fog

They couldn’t see what they believed
Was it on purpose?
They couldn’t see what they believed
They couldn’t be what they believed
Was it all worth it? They couldn’t be what they believed

They might say you’re special just know they tell everyone
You don’t have to greet the devil just to have a little fun

What has got you worried?
Was it something that you read?
You might find the answer, just not until you are dead

They couldn’t see what they believed
Was it on purpose?
They couldn’t see what they believed
They couldn’t be what they believed
Was it all worth it? They couldn’t be what they believed

They might say you’re worth it itl just know they tell everyone
You don’t have to meet the devil just to have a little fun

What is it you’re thinking?
Was it something that they said?
They would leave you bleeding then come back when you were dead

They couldn’t see what they believed
Was it on purpose? (What is it you’re thinking?)
They couldn’t see what they believed (Was it something that they said?)
They couldn’t be what they believed
Was it all worth it? (They would leave you bleeding)
They couldn’t be what they believed (then come back when you were dead)

Thinking too much can be a losing philosophy
But maybe you need to think a little longer before you make a choice
Thinking too much can make it feel like your dreams aren’t real
But making a little progress everyday will help you reach your goal
Taking critique with smiles will keep the vibe all calm and mild
Taking critique will show you’re living with a lot of poise
God is infinity
A nod to serenity
Maybe learn to live with patience and ignore the noise
Maybe believe

Feeling It

Been in that same spot since bout two
Not winning on black or red
You’re blue
Don’t want to admit the game is through
Spending your cash on something new
Sending it back when you are through
Trying to find something else to do

I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
It’s not playin round
Yes I feel it now
I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now

Stacking it back when you are through
Cleaning up spills not caused by you
Peeling the gum right off your shoe
Being a better form of you
Trying on everybody’s shoes
Whether the weather’s grey or blue

I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
It’s not playin round
Yes I feel it now
I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now

I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
I’m not feeling down cuz I feel it now
Pass this round cuz I feel it now

Mobile Living

We’re in a mobile living hotspot
We’re in a mobile living and we’re fried
We’re in a mobile living non-stop
We’re in a mobile living overdrive
We’re in a mobile living hotspot
We’re in a mobile living and we’re fried
We’re in a mobile living non-stop
We’re in a mobile living and we’ve tried but

We can’t put down our phones
We cannot seem to live without them
Models with tan skin tones
Following all the influencers
We can’t put down our phones (We can’t put down)
We cannot seem to live without them (our phones or live without them)
Models with tan skin tones (We can’t put down)
Following all the influencers
(our phones or live without them)

We’re in a mobile living (mobile living hotspot)
We’re in a mobile living and we’re fried
We’re in a mobile living (mobile living non-stop)
We’re in a mobile living overdrive
We’re in a mobile living (mobile living hotspot)
We’re in a mobile living and we’re fried
We’re in a mobile living (mobile living non-stop)
We’re talking mobile living till we die

We can’t put down our phones
We cannot seem to live without them
Models with tan skin tones
Following all the influencers
We can’t put down our phones (We can’t put down)
We cannot seem to live without them (our phones or live without them)
Models with tan skin tones (We can’t put down)
Following all the influencers
(our phones or live without them)

We can’t put down our phones (We can’t put down)
We cannot seem to live without them (our phones or live without them)
Models with tan skin tones (We can’t put down)
Following all the influencers
(our phones or live without them)

We can’t seem to live without our phones
No we can’t seem to live
Just like a dog who goes without a bone
No we can’t seem to live without our phones

We’re in a mobile living (hotspot)
We’re in a mobile living and we’re fried
We’re in a mobile living (non-stop)
We’re in a mobile living overdrive
We’re in a mobile living (hotspot)
We’re in a mobile living and we’re fried
We’re in a mobile living (non-stop)
We’re in a mobile living till we die

Finding What It Is You Seek

What you know about it
Well that’s just fantasy
You know there’s room for growing
For both you and me and what we’ll be

Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek
Looking round looking down
Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek

Won’t you please start acting naturally
It’s plain to see that you need a little sympathy and company
Then you’ll be all that you want to be
It comes naturally
And you will see all that you want to see
You will see looking round looking down

Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek
Looking round looking down
Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek

Won’t you please start listening carefully
It’s plain to me that you need a little empathy from them and me
Then you will be all that you want to be
It comes naturally
Then you will see all that you want to see
You will see looking round looking down

Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek
Looking round looking down
Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek

What you know about it
Well that’s just fantasy
You know there’s room for growing
For both you and me and what we’ll be

Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek
Looking round looking down
Looking up and down
Looking all around
Looking up and down
Finding what it is you seek

Tuesdays Sittin Around

I’m living truly grinding through town
You thought you knew me but you’re never around
Strike a cord or trying to sing
When you’re bored you need to go on out and do your own thing
No doubt it’s easy to pout
With so many things to worry about
No clout, holler or shout
Nothing emotional, no feelings, nor a sesne of the world

Tuesdays sittin around
We’ve got nothing to do but a couple of frowns
There’s no way to figure it out when you’re sitting around feeling down and out
Tuesdays sittin around
We’ve got nothing to do but a couple of frowns
There’s no way to figure it out when you’re sitting around feeling down and out

Small talk, scribbling chalk
I see you’re finally in love with yourself
No baulk, leading the flock
You can’t rely on anybody else to give you a hand

I tried but who the hell am I
I’m just the one who always gave you a ride
Tongue tied with your alibi
You’re fooling no one you’ll just end up getting on their bad side

Tuesdays sittin around
We’ve got nothing to do but a couple of frowns
There’s no way to figure it out when you’re sitting around feeling down and out
Tuesdays sittin around
We’ve got nothing to do but a couple of frowns
There’s no way to figure it out when you’re sitting around feeling down and out

I had this funny feeling
I stood there badly reeling
I had this funny feeling that you were through with me
I had this funny feeling
I stood there badly reeling
I had this funny feeling that you were through with me
That you were through with me
That you were through with, you were through with me

Double duty yet nothing for me
I’m always trying to please everyone else
Living truly grinding through town
You thought you knew me but you know that you are never around
We don’t talk or even make a sound
If you got a doobie you can pass it around
Before long we’ll be homeward bound
And by then I know you’ll be ready to let it all out

Tuesdays sittin around
We’ve got nothing to do but a couple of frowns
There’s no way to figure it out when you’re sitting around feeling down and out
Tuesdays sittin around
We’ve got nothing to do but a couple of frowns
There’s no way to figure it out when you’re sitting around feeling down and out

I had this funny feeling
I stood there badly reeling
I had this funny feeling that you were through with me
I had this funny feeling
I stood there badly reeling
I had this funny feeling that you were through with me
That you were through with me
That you were through with, you were through with me

True Valuation

What’s your true valuation
It’s too low
You must give communication
For them to know
What’s the true situation
They won’t know
You must give evaluation
Then it will show

They can’t hold you
They can’t keep you from earning
They can’t fold you
Show them the tables turning
They can’t mold you
Keep your own minds churning
Make a bold move
They’ll need help discerning

What’s your true valuation
It’s too low
You must give communication
For them to know
Show your true valuation
Standing toe to toe
Strengthen up your reputation
Then you can let it go

Strengthen up your reputation
Strengthen up your pride
Show them your true valuation
Show them reasons why
Shed all of your reservations
Shed them from your mind
Show them your true valuation
Show them reasons why

Save Their Crown

We can’t leave without our friends
We can’t leave without our friends

You need a little beat down
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll setalittle
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll settle down
You need a little beat down
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll setalittle
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll settle down

We can’t leave without our friends
We can’t leave without our friends

You need a little beat down
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll setalittle
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll settle down
You need a little beat down
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll setalittle
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll settle down

They will slaughter sons and daughters just to save their crown
They will hoard all of the water just to save their crown
They will martyr all their fathers just to save their crown
They will barter pawns and poppers just to save their crown

We can’t leave without our friends
We can’t leave without our friends

You need a little beat down
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll setalittle
You need a little beat down
Then you’ll settle down

(They will they will)
They will slaughter sons and daughters just to save their crown
They will hoard all of the water just to save their crown
They will martyr all their fathers just to save their crown
They will barter pawns and poppers just to save their crown

Modern Day Lullaby

What a place to be
What a place for me
Though you see me aching
You’ll never see me breaking down

The sun is shining down
The sun is shining down
The sun is shining down
It’s peaceful all around

What a place to be
What a place for me
Though I may be aching
You’ll never see me breaking down
Though I may be aching now
You’ll never see me breaking down

There’s fun to have, it’s bound
There’s fun to have, it’s bound
There’s fun to have, it’s bound
Your dreams are hanging around
Your dreams as re hangin

Emotions take control
Might just needs a bowl or two
It seems to me you get a little sentimental
Potions take a toll
Might just needs a bowl or two
It seems to me I always get a little sentimental

What a place to be
What a place for me
Though I may be aching
You’ll never see me breaking down
See me breaking down
See me breaking down
You’ll never see me breaking down

Emotions take control
Might just needs a bowl or two
It always seems to me you get a little sentimental
Potions take a toll
Might just needs a bowl or two
It seems to me I always get a little sentimental
Oceans wake the soul
A mental cleanse the goal for you
It seems to me we ought to get a little sentimental

Tail’s Ripped Up

Round I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running

My tail’s ripped up but I’m still running around your street again
To gather nuts for winter’s freezing until the spring begins

Round I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running

My tail’s ripped up but I’m still climbing your tree without a fear
I’m down but I’m not out of the game
There’s so much up from here

Round I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around
I’m still running around

I need someone near me
I need someone near me
I need someone dearly
I need someone near me

I need someone near me
I need someone near me
I need someone near me
I need someone dearly

Call It As It Is

Lay it on the line
We’re tired of wasting time
We’ve played enough
We’ve played it tough
Call it as it is
It won’t be the same after all this
After all this

You’ve really done it this time
You’ve really crossed that line
It’s just a matter of time until it ends
You’ve really done it this time
You’ve really crossed that line
It’s just a matter of time until it ends

Read between the lines
We’re tired of wasting time
We’ve played enough
We’ve played enough
Call it as it is
It won’t be the same after all this
After all this

You’ve really done it this time
You’ve really crossed that line
It’s just a matter of time until it ends
You’ve really done it this time
You’ve really crossed that line
It’s just a matter of time until it ends

You’ve really done it this time
You’ve really crossed that line
It’s just a matter of time until it ends
You’ve really done it this time
You’ve really crossed that line
It’s just a matter of time until it ends

Why Try

It’s raining down from the clouds
Shit’s raining down
It’s seeping up from the ground
Shit’s seeping up
We breathe it in through the air
We breathe it in
Where does it start and begin
Where does it all

Why try when there’s so much to lose
They’re trying to give you the blues
There’s not enough for the people to choose
With white lies and political stews

It’s raining down from the clouds
Shit’s raining down
It’s seeping up from the ground
Shit’s seeping up
We breathe it in through the air
We breathe it in
Where does it start and begin
Where does it all begin

Why try when there’s so much to lose
They’re trying to give you the blues
There’s too much for the people to choose
With fake news and political stews

We’re Nothing

We’re nothing
We’re nothing
We’re nothing without each other
Say something
Say something for the love of God

Lost nights
Alone, won’t sleep tight
Don’t know what is right
But it sure does seem that

We’re nothing
We’re nothing
We’re nothing with each other
You’re listening
You’re listening
I saw a little nod

I dream
I dream we’ll be back
Alas, we sleep by ourselves

We’re nothing
We’re nothing
We’re nothing with each other
We’re nothing
We’re nothing for the love of God

We’re nothing for the love of God

Sour Grapes Resolutions

They say this is the land
They say this is the land of the free
They say this is the plan
They say this is the plan of how it’s supposed to be

Play strong and stay strong
Govern selves
Play strong and stay

They said this is the land
They said this is the land of the free
They said this is the plan
They said this is the plan of how it’s supposed to be

Play strong and stay strong
Govern selves
Play strong and stay

Play strong and stay strong
Govern selves
Play strong and stay

By Myself

All is gravy
Seconds maybe
I cleaned my plate and
Folded laundry
Life’s been mashed up
I’ve tightened cash up
Seasons clashed up
Over me

I keep growing I’m living here by myself
Don’t know how long I’ll be by myself
Trees blowin’, standing there alive and we’ll
Don’t know if I’m doing fine by myself

Thoughts are raining
Thinking’s straining
Life is draining
All of me
My mind has trailed off
My train has railed off
Don’t mind this frail talk surrounding me

I keep growing living here by myself
Don’t know if I’m doing fine by myself
Trees blowin’, standing there alive and well
Don’t know when I won’t be here by myself

Season’s greeting
Who you meeting
Seems they’re feeding
A meal for two
I’ve lost my hunger
For fruitless wonder
Seems this patience will have to do

I keep growing, living here by myself
Don’t know how long I’ll be here by myself
Trees blowin’, standing there a live a well
I think that I’m doing fine by myself
Living here by myself

I keep growing living here by myself
Trees blowin’ standing there alive and well
I know that I’m doing fine by myself
Living here by myself
Standing there alive and well
Living here by myself
I know that I’m doing fine by my

It Was Overstated

With people you’re falling out losing relations that you had
You’d think that you’d notice your choices were what were really bad
But you ignored everyone and
scattered ’round blame ‘cept at yourself
And chose to ignore what was real

Should not have gone along
It was overstated
You think you do no wrong
But you’re overrated
I think I’ve heard this song ’cause you’ve overplayed it
It’s time we moved along and let our past be faded

Tracing are falling down into place pointing it out
Graces are lacking seems everyone’s cutting you out
Things were all going well ’til the day that you feel for her
And you fell asleep at the wheel

Should not have gone along
It was overstated
You think you do no wrong
But you’re overrated
I think I’ve heard this song ’cause you’ve overplayed it
It’s time we moved along and let our past be faded

It’s time we moved along and let our past be faded

Learn It For A Fee

Think of all the things we’d be
But we’re afraid of falling down
You can learn it for a fee
But ya gotta get up from the ground to see

Visions of a life never lived
Memories of a time that was better
Visions of a life never lived
Memories of a time that was better

Think of all the things we’d see
But we’re afraid to look around
You can learn it for a fee
You gotta get up from the ground to see

Visions of a life never lived
Memories of a time that was better
Visions of a life never lived
Memories of a time that was better

Think of all the things we’d be
If we would only look around
You can learn it for a fee
You gotta get up from the ground to see

Visions of a life never lived
Memories of a time that was better
Decisions that you cannot forgive
Claiming that you’re under the weather

Peeled and Faded

I wouldn’t leave you
I couldn’t seem to
What it would lead to
The fun things we’d do
I tried to please you and I would feed you
Peeled and faded
I couldn’t trust you ’cause I had issues
I couldn’t trust you ’cause we had issues
The price of love I had underrated
Sealed and dated

I got too lazy with my life
I fell asleep and dropped the knife
Keeping love’s a skillful art
You left a piercing in my heart

A little rusty, you really trust me
A little anxious and full of patience
The price of love I had underrated
Kinda feels like I’m peeled and faded
Sealed and dated
Reeled and slated
Keeled and faded

I got too lazy with my life
I fell asleep and dropped the knife
Keeping love’s a skillful art
You left a piercing in my heart
Keeping love’s a skillful art
You left a pierce inside my heart

I got too lazy with my life
I fell asleep and dropped the knife
Keeping love’s a skillful art
You left a piercing in my heart
Keeping love’s a skillful art
You left a pierce inside my heart

It Was Overstated

With people you’re falling out losing relations that you had

Center of Nowhere

In the center of nowhere there’s nowhere to run
In the center of nowhere you’re lost
Center of nowhere there’s nowhere to hide
In the center of nowhere you’ve lost all sanity

In the center of nowhere there’s nowhere to run
In the center of nowhere you’re lost
Center of nowhere there’s nowhere to hide
In the center of nowhere you’ve lost all sanity

A Plea For Help

Won’t you follow me down the road to peace
Let’s end your wallowing
It’s time that you released

Won’t you call me when you’re down
I will always be around

Acted shallowly when really it was deep
Throw the towel for me
I’m feeling like defeat

Won’t you call me when you’re down
I will always be around

When you get trapped inside your head it’s like you’re stuck on a merry-go-round
You must face your problems head on instead of giving them a runaround

Won’t you follow me down the road to peace
Let’s end your wallowing and finally get some sleep

Won’t you call me when you’re down
I will always be around

When your mind gets racing it seems your thoughts are what spin the merry-go-round
Figure out what does it for you something’s got to get you back on the ground

Lenses of Greed

You sat there feeling plain
Then you would feel amazing
You were not feeling sane
But you were not feeling crazy
Not looking through lenses of greed
You weren’t looking to take you a free ride
Not expecting that much out of me
But by now you’d had thought I’d had made big strides

We sat there feeling plain
And a little bit lazy
You would drive me insane
But then I would drive you crazy
Not looking through lenses of greed
You weren’t looking to take you a free ride
Not expecting that much out of me
But by now you’d had thought I’d had made big strides

I just want you all to know
That I will never be ordinary
I cannot go with the flow
I don’t know if I will ever marry

Who did you think it would be
When you were out there looking around downtown
Who did you think you would meet
When you were out there looking around downtown
Who did you think it would be
When you were out there looking around downtown
Who did you think you would see
When you were out there looking around, looking around, looking around downtown
Looking around, looking around town
Who did you think you were
Looking around, looking around, looking around downtown
Looking around, looking around town

You sat there feeling plain
Then you would feel amazing
You were not feeling sane
But you were not feeling crazy
Not looking through lenses of greed
You weren’t looking to take you a free ride
Not expecting that much out of me
But by now you’d had thought I’d had made big strides

I’d give everything I own
But I see that you’re a little weary
You’re a miner digging coal
And you treat me like I’m your canary

Who did you think it would be
When you were out there looking around downtown
Who did you think you would meet
When you were out there looking around downtown
Who did you think you would see
When you were out there looking around downtown
Who did you think it would be
When you were out there looking around, looking around, looking around downtown
Looking around, looking around town
Who did you think you were
Looking around, looking around, looking around downtown
Looking around, looking around town

If memories could cut
I know I’d surely be bleeding
Nipped in the butt
You’ll no longer hear my pleading

Falling Awake

We’re falling awake
We’re coming around
We made the mistake
Of fooling around

You keep on falling, look you’re all on the ground
You keep on crawling but you’ll never get up from there
You keep on calling but you’re never around
You keep on calling but you’re wearing out your welcome

What it that you are thinking
There has got to be another way
If you only have fun on the weekends
What are you doing the other 5 days
We can never listen to ourselves
We just go on buying what they sell
What it that you are thinking
There has got to be another way
If you only have fun on the weekends
What are you doing the other 5 days
We can never listen to ourselves
We keep buying what they have to sell

We’re falling awake
We’re coming around
We made the mistake
Of messing around

You keep on falling, look you’re all on the ground
You keep on crawling but you’ll never get up from there
You keep on calling but you’re never around
You keep on calling but you’re wearing out your welcome

What it that you are thinking
There has got to be another way
If you only have fun on the weekends
What are you doing the other 5 days
We can never listen to ourselves
We just go on buying what they sell
What it that you are thinking
There has got to be another way
If you only have fun on the weekends
What are you doing the other 5 days
We can never listen to ourselves
We just go on buying what they sell

Propagated Sounds

You better fall in line. Don’t use your mind. You’re our kind. We’ll keep you blind from the shine. We’ll keep you blind. You’ll be fine. We’ll keep you sheep.

Give us your vote or you will drown in the moat. Don’t mind the lies of our quote or get a knife to the throat, because you’re sheep.

Truth Leaks Out

Message of promise and love. Shown hands that don’t fit the glove. Truth leaks out. Lessons in life that are tough. Quitting when you’ve had enough. Losing all aspects of trust. Truth leaks out.

Complacent. Complacent you.

Kingman

Why do you go slavin’ away, with all the sun that’s shinin’ today, just for a measly amount of pay? Why not make a few dollars, and then go spend some time with a couple of friends before you reach the end?

No I ain’t got money, but I sure got plenty of smiles. The kingman’s crumblin’ down. No I ain’t got money. Do you think it’s funny I found…I said the kingman’s crumblin’ down.

Status Machine

Living inside you is another guy who may never get to live. Why criticize who doesn’t make a dime through the status machine that gives?

Building a tower, out to plow and scour, the status machine that gives. A bonus to own us, stick around for doughnuts. Our passion leaks like a sieve.

Why do you blame yourself? Why don’t you claim yourself?

Living a lie won’t satisfy your mind, but the status machine will give. Echoing ’round you, propagated sounds choose the status machine that gives.

Why do you blame yourself? Why don’t you claim yourself? Why would you fake yourself? Why don’t you take yourself?

Why criticize who doesn’t make a dime through the corporate machine, “who” lies and tries to bleed you? Raping the Earth and all who try to save her, only elite survive a grave disaster.

Warming Days

Warming days. You better get runnin’. No you better start swimmin’. Those glaciers are meltin’ boy. I sure smell something. It’s staring right into our face. Facing destruction, we better do something before we’re staring right into our graves.

Stormy days. You better take cover. Run to your mother. ‘Canes are sure getting stronger, we won’t live much longer. It’s staring right into our face. Facing destruction, we better do something before we’re staring right into our graves.

Equinox

Equinox. Here comes the fall.

The leaves are turning brown. Leaves are turning brown. I believe I’m turning ’round. Believe I’m turning ’round for you.

Buying to Sell

For some, it all comes easy. For others, there’s no hope at all. Some, they get the feeling desperation keeps making a call. Signs all reading, “Buying to Sell.”

For some, it all comes naturally. For others, there’s no luck at all. For some, they get the feeling desperation keeps making the call. Pockets bleeding. Buying to sell.

Buy. Buy. Buy. Sell. Sell. Sell.

Corporate greed and make believe wealth.
They’re both taking from the masses, all the lower classes.
Corporate greed and make believe wealth.
They’re both taking from the masses, who out bustin’ asses.
Just when you thought we’d bail you out.

Pockets Bleeding

Who do you think you are fooling? Pockets bleeding. Mouths are drooling. Hold your horses. What you’re saying contradicts the game you’re playing. Pockets bleeding.

Lie for a lie. Crime that gets no time.

Who do you think you are fooling? Pockets bleeding. Mouths are drooling. Wealth for me you’re demonstrating, while you’re really out croqueting. Pockets bleeding.

Seize What’s Around

Hope for the future. You may not lose.
Hope for the future if you choose.

Ease off your troubled mind. Seize what’s around. Ease your feet on the ground.
There’s hope for the future. You may not lose.
There’s hope for the future if you choose.

Ease off your troubled mind. Seize what’s around. Ease your feet on the ground.
Ease off your troubled mind. Ease off your mind. Ease on the starting line.

Treasures That Can’t Be Measured

Look at who you are, what you do, and what you love. Think of all the things you’ve been taught you wanted to believe. In the presence of a powerful figure, hidden hatred, fear, and lies may arise right in front of your eyes.

Don’t waste your life. “Waste” your life on pleasure. Seek no treasure but love. Love and peace are treasures. Can’t be measured.

Put your hands together, close your eyes, and bow your head. Think not of the prejudice or the way you’re being lead.

Don’t waste your life. “Waste” your life on pleasure. Seek no treasure but love. Love and peace are treasures. Can’t be measured.
