I wanna talk about love

 

I wanna talk about love

 

Speak on its splendor

Reflect on its beauty

 

I wouldn’t be able to escape the guilt if I did

 

The world a blaze with injustice

Sparks and embers next door

 

Rights made

Uncivil

 

Civilities become less

Liberal

 

Morality of a few

Made law

For the many

 

I wanna talk about love

 

Speak on its splendor

Reflect on its beauty

 

I wouldn’t be able to escape the guilt if I did

 

So many people live deceptions

The rest can not attain an accurate perception

 

So many people impoverished

I wonder if there is enough wealth to help

 

So many people kept in a state of ignorance

I wonder if the mass of them would want the light of truth

 

So many have given up

So many have given in

 

Learned to justify wrong

In the name of right

 

Learned to survive

 

But

Have no idea

 

How to be alive

 

I wanna talk about love

 

Speak on its splendor

Reflect on its beauty

 

I wouldn’t be able to escape the guilt if I did

The right of way

         The right of way

 

I am that radical

I am that rebel

 

You saw me

At that day without

at that march

At that protest

Maybe even that riot

 

I won't tell you

I’ll let you decide

 

I am that radical

I am that rebel

 

You see me and go the other way

You hear me and are

Quick

To call me out my name

You know about me

You know of me

But you

Do not

Know me

 

I am that radical

I am that rebel

 

I go against tradition

I am the reason to break bonds

I am the reason

Big and mighty things

Are made low

Insignificantly small things set on high

You can try to kill me

But

I will always

And forever

live

 

I am that radical

I am that rebel

I do not fit the mold you try to put me in

I can not be shaped by your cookie cutter

I am not pretty

in fact I can be very ugly

It is not my intention to hurt

I’ll stop now

To you

I am cliché

 

I am that radical

I am that rebel

 

I am that undeniable truth

Looking into your soul

Putting a mirror in front of you

Screaming In the back of your mind

Silent on the tip of your tongue

 

I am that radical

I am that rebel

I am that truth

 

Are you Afraid of me.

The Order of Coldingham

 

Priorities confused

Thought process abused

 

We believe lies because they smell true

 

Put to the test

They stack and fall like the rest

Left alone they become unquestionable

 

We believe lies because they smell true

 

When all is said and done

Night has become Dawn

When asked why

We can only answer

 

We believed lies because they smelt of  true

Primordial

Where time and creation begins and ends your arms stretched out from the new, creating love, forming the first house of light, the first temple of truth.

Pure and untouched it was then, so shall it be in the end

Naked in the open

What are you hiding behind?

The many words in the many books you’ve read. The lyrics you pour into your ears then repeat back slightly out of key. Sometimes a joke or two, or the smile they are meant to bring.

What are you hiding behind?

I use to use an intimidating face and muscles. I now use the very opposite, strangely it works just the same.

Some like the rain because it hides their tears.

For a while, a brief while, I was able to use money and the big home, but not the fancy car.

I personally hid a long time but now I’m open, now I’m naked.

It’s funny what you see when you realize you’re standing naked in a soul tundra with only a mirror as company

What are you hiding behind?

Does my honesty offend you?

Does my honesty offend you?

Are my words cutting too deep, past skin, past muscle and bone right into heart and soul.

Does my honesty offend you?

Laughing when you cry, stillness when you run, dancing while you cower.

Does my honesty offend you?

When I speak you cover your ears. You even run away as I draw near to you.

The fact that I’ve never said one word to you heralds resound.

Does my honesty offend you?
