It is the eye behind the eye, it is the ear behind the ear

It is the mind behind the mind where you find the lyrics that you hear

The conquest of your fear yields to the courage of death

Walk through the door with one step without wondering what’s next

Then you will have one small victory snatched from the jaws of defeat

Speak like your words have no influence and then you will be at piece

And be quick to strike with, quick deliberate movements

If you find the world ruthless, read the philosophies of Confucius

It takes one flap from a butterfly’s wings to create a typhoon

Waiting to make a storm while it’s consumed in a cocoon

They say some prophets have the ability to look backward in time

There you will find that the deaf will always lead the blind

And everything that has been comes around again my friend

And time which has a beginning must also have an end

Anger is a sign of weakness, patience is a sign of strength

Before you practice how to write, you first must practice how to think



Hook

It's you that enlarges wounds to those that are wounded

Instead of consoling and trying to heel those wounds

It's you that takes the ones who haven't been wounded putting daggers into their wounds and causing new wounds

Verse 2

I speak words of unparalleled, of wonders and majesty

Imagine me, sitting in solitude creating magiy

Happily, immersed into the realm of my own thoughts

Writing metaphorical words with proverbs in paradox

And the moral of the story is to win glory before death

Instead of placing a ladder to the sky, I’d rather take steps

And it frustrates me, as much as fascinates the mind

When they try to determine the secret. This is what they’ll find

That you are the manifested self that s itself “I”

But the world want’s you to replace the word “I” with the word “WE”

And when you look into your eyes, then you will see

That it’s not all about them, it’s all about me

Because you create your world without therefore creating what it is

And if you replace “I” with ‘We” then your world would not exist

“We” are man’s monsters and the earth’s monster is Man

And I will stand alone to the world with an outstretched hand

Shadow by Andre Robert Cobbs (Rough Draft-Version 1)

HOOK

(NOT ONE) in their eyes seem dissatisfied.

(NOT ONE) Is sitting back waiting just to die

(THAT'S WHY) they have never kneeled to one another

It makes me loathe and despise our existence all together

(NOT ONE) in their eyes seem dissatisfied.

(NOT ONE) Is sitting back waiting just to die

(THAT'S WHY) they have never kneeled to one another

It’s the same yesterday, today and forever


Verse one


(THE TREES) are nothing more than a journey work of the stars

(AND THE STARS) are the only light that is shed in the dark

And if they could give us their wisdom. What would they teach?

Their the builders of wonders and architects of peace

And I be sitting in the trees with the birds and the bees

In the garden of Eden with these words planting the seeds

(TRIMMING THE LEAVES) planting the trees and watching them grow

(BEHOLD) the garden that I’ve grown is becoming my home

(NOURISH THE ROOTS) trimming the branches and picking the fruits

And the fruit that the vineyard produced is turning to juice

(NOT KNOWING) if the fruit would be good for the farm

(IT WILL FLOURISH) because I nourished the roots and kept them strong




HOOK

(NOT ONE) in their eyes seem dissatisfied.

(NOT ONE) Is sitting back waiting just to die

(THAT'S WHY) they have never kneeled to one another

It makes me loathe and despise our existence all together

(NOT ONE) in their eyes seem dissatisfied.

(NOT ONE) Is sitting back waiting just to die

(THAT'S WHY) they have never kneeled to one another

It’s the same yesterday, today and forever


verse two

I stand before the animals with an outstretched hand

Suddenly interested in things that I did not understand

If I give them the same, I will receive them the same

It would kindle in my heart and turn the spark into flames

(MAYBE) they are some kind of living hieroglyphic

An deciphered lyric that is read by the illiterate

And if there is a death then it leads forward life

Because Their state of nirvana is eluded with sight

yet by heart, by sight reverent touch and study

As I sit in bewilderment in the midst of beauty

They may be the guardians of our hearts and soul

 (THE MIND) is the canvas  the exhibit is the world


(HOOK)

(NOT ONE) In their eyes seemed dissatisfied

(NOT ONE) Is sitting back waiting just to die

(THAT’S WHY) they have never kneeled to one another

It makes me loathe and despise our existence all together

(NOT ONE) in their eyes seemed dissatisfied

(NOT ONE) is sitting back waiting just to die

(THAT’S WHY) they have never kneeled to one another

It’s the same yesterday 

(TODAY AND FOREVER)
