Blinded In Chains


.

And we're at it again, 
I turn around another fucking war, man 
I don't know where to begin, 
but I'll start with the radical leaders 
Their steps we're followin' 

Running, don't go back and fight, 
too many you'll lose 
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood 
between the red and white and blue but it's too 
deep for you to see and 
Everyone eventually will take the step 
cause it's in sight you take the left 
I'll take the right I fell the hate you've built 
For me and I say pay attention baby) 

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see 
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease 

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action 
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot 
How to speak how to ask all the questions 

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose 
(I see another side in you but there's not much more 
I can do from on the outside looking 
in your government is listenin' to 
Push you on the story of immortal father mortal son 
give them your mind 
and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself) 
If they had it their way 
I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster can't you see 
Don't give them all the power when your future's 
in desperate trouble baby 

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see 
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease 
I'd run away tonight with my mind 
still intact you gotta make it alright 
Easier said than done with no place to hide 
and having no place to (run) 
Running away from condition, 
I see you but you're running away from 
Your scared seductive system 

Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy 
to predict these things 
Every color has its side, 
they live together vote and most won't read between these lines 
Please help us, please save us of coarse 
they have control we're all the same 
Up on the cross, 
crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot 
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end 
I'm sure they'll understand 
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed 
As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold your mind, 
body and soul 
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene 
I see you're living for tomorrow 
but decisions you have made will leave you empty 

You've fallen asleep in denial 
Look at the way we're dyin' 
How it ends I'll never know 
Just live your life blind like me 

Almost Easy - By Mbembeng


.

I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's the way it stays
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face, but the fact remains
That this is nothing new

I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane.

I'm not insane, I'm not insane.
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Now that I've lost you it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away.
I'm losing the fight.
I've treated you so wrong, now let me make it right.
(Make it all right)

I'm not insane, I'm not insane. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But still you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

He who makes a beast out of himself 
Gets rid of the pain of being a man 

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay. 

I tried to drive all through the night, 
The heat stroke ridden weather, 
the barren empty sights. 
No oasis here to see, 
the sand is singing deathless words to me. 

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). 
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction. 
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone). 
No one can save me 
and you know I don't want the attention. 

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights 
will take me to new heights. 
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite. 
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right. 
Mental fiction follows me; 
show me what it's like to be set free. 

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). 
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction. 
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone). 
No one can save me and you know 
I don't want the attention. 

So sorry you're not here 
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear. 
Now take a trip with me 
but don't be surprised 
when things aren't what they seem. 

Caught here in a fiery blaze, 
won't lose my will to stay. 
These eyes won't see the same, 
after I flip today. 

Sometimes I don't know 
why we'd rather live than die, 
We look up towards the sky 
for answers to our lives. 
We may get some solutions 
but more just pass us by, 
Don't want your absolution 
cause I can't make it right. 
I'll make a beast out of myself, 
gets rid of all the pain of being a man. 

Can't you help me 
as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). 
Too many doses 
and I'm starting to get an attraction. 
My confidence is leaving me 
on my own (all alone). 
No one can save me and you know 
I don't want the attention. 

So sorry you're not here 
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear. 
Now take a trip with me 
but don't be surprised 
when things aren't what they seem. 
I've known it from the start all these good ideas 
will tear your brain apart. 
Scared but you can follow me 
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you

(Bring me closer)

But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
