there was a girl 
was a passer by
a people watcher 
with an awkward eye
really wanted to come up and say "Hi"
but the fear kept her in.

there was a man about 73
he fell asleep watching TV
thought to himself "there's more I could be"
but the fear kept him in 

I am that man 
I am that passer by
I am the comfort found in twitchy eyes
I am the one in the crowd that hides
don't let the fear keep me in.

it don't matter what (you/I/we) do
it only matters what (you/I/we) think
because what we perceive is our reality

Perception Is Reality

Champion Of Whatever (Demo) - 1:17:19, 6.35 PM

Wrapped from head to toe in her white lace, 
She called me from the sea,
"I can't go in, I won't go in, you're bound to bury me."
Well, I was listening to the radio, 
When I heard a sacred voice,
"There are dark places you must go, you do not have a choice."
Well, I was listening to the radio,
While my dear friends made love,
Their moans came and melted all of the snow,
I was drowning in the flood. 
Out like an ember that fell in the river, 
You drink too much and pass out in the yard. 
Feeling old and tender you go and surrender,
To the man who holds all the cards. 
I was always hoping to be second best,
This crown is too heavy to defend,
Blinded by the wool pulled over your eyes,
Cut from your own rear end. 
One day I'll have a beautiful smile,
Just like the gals on TV,
Cause foxes like me won the 21st century, 
Lions and lambs you are free. 
She cut the cards with snake veined hands, 
To tell me what they mean,
 Her arms were marred with black tattoos, 
From lands I'd never seen. 
In like a winter that fell in the spring, 
You're alive for a second time, 
Alive with the anger that seethes through the angels, 
They're turning his wrath into wine. 
I had always hoped that it would end this way, 
I was always too afraid to die. 
We'll just walk into heaven in robes of white denim, 
With fire in our eyes.
