It's like hitting your own hand with a hammer
When your conscience is a tool you’ve forgotten
You’re running cause you’re bored from Lucifer
And your patience is a rule you have broken
And you’re soaking you’re droolinh you’re drowning
And the words from your own funerals are being spoken
And you’re hearing it from the pools of deception
and the joker keeps laughing
Ha! he’s a fool he hurts himself
he’s playing poker he’s losing his own wealth
self judgment must rule his temple
he must be made an example
for he’s killing what is pure and subtle
for he’s lying neck deep in trouble
so careless is he with his own treasure
Karma karma walk into the desert
When you try to explain what he’s going to lose
he’s walking in the sand complaining about his shoes
he’s left alone to meditate
left for his own mind to reiterate
are you aware of the beauty that you kill ?
as you hum the mistakes only you have willed
what in the end is your mind filled with ?
what as a ghost will your soul admit ?
what will you think while you sit alone ?
with only yourself as the copret
what do you feel when your mind is healing ?
but you’re still burning and that earth keeps on turning ?
Will you try and make a deal
will you beg for it to heal
will you beg for a meal
Will you wish for your own
death and dirt
so no longer will yourself
or anyone else hurt
and while you’re feeling the true venom of your own curse while you sit in your own anguish and thirst and the sky opens up with blinding white light
and you’re looking at that bright sunlight
and you cry and you beg
and you ask why am i rotten
and you get a reply
sky says you have forgotten
you have forgotten
Dear sister dear mother brother father friend
why have you taken us to the end ?
yet i still hold you as you pass through
no suffering
your pain and anguish
no more suffering
Go on back to the beginning
