a million tales, truths, and hoaxes fill my mind
i fear my thoughts will overflow my skull, causing me to go blind

every inch, every crevice of space in my mind is filled
with roads, of misfortune; and bodies, all killed

"killed" is to be left dreamless, and without thought
"killed" minds lead to, and end. all wars fought

one way or another, one thing is certain

i wish for no one to pull back lifes curtain

trials and tribulations in life will make you wise, but there is a price
wisdom's toll is that it shines light on all life's lies

all the flesh filled indulgences that you could ever dream
just lay wait, at your fingertips when you become a teen

should you take advantage of young female lust
or should you hold back from temptation, and build from within your trust

i have never been one to hold back on any emotion
but this is one subject, i never let cause a commotion

all the strategically placed fabric, or lack thereof
could make a fools eyes burst with blood

but no, not me, that is not my calling
and you will see in time, these foundations falling

i look for the people, and trust me i can see you
that feel my same pains, have my worries, these people can teach you

i will end this in saying, that i wish for everyone to remain the same
because one day, as the tide turns, we will be the sane
