The Lesson

There’s a little boy inside crying out for rescue
Hidden in his place of comfort thinking its his refuge
Still pretending that he doesn’t feel misplaced 
Trapped in the shade of thoughts he chased away
Replacing his pain, escaping what he’s done
Working on the courage, finding words on his own
Hiding from the pain so no on else could see 
A wound that creeps... deep inside of me!
But I’m addicted to isolation and the darkness
Its a cost of repetition from living in his heartache
Running from the lies with strings still attached
Resting off track where he doesn’t feel attacked
Slowly closing curtains to the world outside
His words filled with pride, becoming lobotomized
Morphing into a puppet in the corner of his mind
Waiting in the shadows, praying for the sun to shine.


Hook

Music is my compass
As I’m Driving Off Map!
Changing lanes now...
“When I’m Bridging Up the Gap!”
People always talk trash...
“Cause they wanna laugh!”
A time when I was dragging...
“But Now I’m On Track!”

My soul’s on fire... and it feels like
My soul’s on fire... burning... yea!


The Lesson

See What I’ve Become

Sleeping with a horse head, bloodying your sheets
Laying in the bed you’ve made, lost beyond your means 
Not afraid to roll the dice & make the same mistakes
Learning nothing new from experience that you’ve gained
You don’t want the drama but you bring it anyway
Wash your hands from playing God with your lives at stake
Believing in a love but can’t survive it without the truth
Its leaves me black & blue, confused looking at the moon! 
Breaking my back, chips weighing on my shoulders
I’m compromising until I’m bending over backwards!
A woman in my dream, trying hard to make her real
But the more I build her up, disappointment is what I feel 
I’m falling to her arms, then I stumble to her feet...
Crawling on my knees, pleading with her just to catch me 
Hiding in my scars, hidden deep beneath the sand 
I offered her my heart, though it sinks through my hands.

“SEE WHAT I’VE BECOME!!!!
...Look at what you’ve done.”

I was stupid to believe you put your past on the shelf
You drink when you drive, and forget to wear your seatbelt 
In this stack of cards, 3 kids were what you’re dealt,
Too stubborn to think about anyone else except yourself!!!!
I’m a drama queen? To Wong Foo, thanks for everything!

I twisted your arm, your mother instincts wont click in
It doesn’t make a difference, hoping someday this will sink in
You admit you like it rough but love is not enough
Craving the touch from those who give you what you want
Sooner than later, you succumb to what you’ve done
Dig your own grave, you can’t escape from what’s to come
Planting false ideas of what I meant in your head
Flipping words around on me because its easier instead
Burying the truth is a reflection of you!
This is my reaction to the hell you've put me through!
This workout everyday it helped make me stronger... 
I’ve seen the ups and downs riding this roller coaster!!!!


See What I've Become

Instrumental by: PCP
Lyrics & vocals by: Larry "KnightOwl" Larivee

To pass the time, I find myself alone asking why
Sitting on porch steps watching these clouds pass me by
Rolling in the deep, alone flowing down stream
Its funny you’re only known for the company you keep...

Coloring outside the lines of truth in my design
Lost within this monster I’ve always kept bottled up inside 
Going unseen, sifting through the mood swings
Asleep shifting daydreams, coasting don’t feel a thing
Drifting out of place with my heart on my sleeve
I keep running out of space, 
The air is already hard enough to breath!
I’m losing sleep coughing, tossing and turning
Burning inside this coffin, caught beneath the surface 

Trying to understand what it means to be a man
Reasons for leaving this land & believing in the dreams I have
Wrong or right, not sure of where I’ll whined up
I follow with all my heart, hoping it helps me find love!

The empire’s collapsing, we fight for our lives
In this world we left behind but I couldn’t bring myself to die 
Living like a madman wrapped up in my rage
Who’s seething like a little lap rat who’s rattling in his cage 
Pawns going insane & got tossed in the maze
A hostage connecting the dots to the order of this place 
They say that the world is yours...
...But it’s mine & it’s everyone else’s too!
Ghosts in the machine, chewed up pieces of meat
Making ends meet between the teeth in the mouth of the beast
Most stay the same, when some want to change
Though the deck’s have been stacked, still finding a way
So I’m staying patient living in this basement Until some waves takes me to someplace far way and ancient
Washing away my pain until I’m feeling weightless
Lifting me up off the pavement into the great escape
Setting sail in search of the words to this song
I never did stop to think the storm could ever last this long
If you haven’t walked in my shoes... 
Don’t presume you know where those tracks have been!
I finally understand what it means to be a man
A reason for leaving this land & believing in the dreams I have
Wrong or right, not sure of where I’ll whined up
I follow with all my heart, hoping it helps me find love!
