dreams to remember (4) [mp3]
album: 1984-2010
released: spring 2007


That's my gateway, my getaway, so that I can see a better day - escape

Ladies and gentlemen,
I appreciate the sentiment,
Settle in, settle in...

Life begets life, impassioned, impregnate,
We not so much partners as much as we're inmates
Yet we don't foster escape (escape)
I can only speak for myself as far as the insatiate
My people, make the sacrifice to suit your appetites,
Or the sacrilege for your avarice, I ain't have this
I'd fight the establishment, but there's no true establishment
And we've already established this

(People come on)
Perhaps I don't have the demographic
(People come on)
Some says its democratic, change of habits
(People come on)
Conform or adapt at it, everything automatic
(People come on)
Guarding purgatory, watching the snakes catch Patrick
For my sainthood...

Question my judgement, get kicked out the republic
They're cautious, yet front like they can tell me something
Because they know if I survive, I'll be the last man alive
And my children will be born without belly buttons
Speaking of Eden, with paradise lost, I do nothing but commit treason
Where the unlearned be aggressive
Even a prepubescent can see the lesson
And graduates dismiss the lesson learned
Instead they speak me firsts, gimme gimmes, seconds and thirds
With nothing greater than personal ambition
You do that Romeo, you think you can reverse tradition?
Then I advise you don't take such adverse position
Whatever your passion guides your life religiously
Apathy governs the people with efficiency
Give me the sword, let me govern with benevolence
And be said to have governed maliciously
Desensitized, hardly sensitive
To those who want complete censorship,
What happened to mentorship
Outlook is dismay, status is entropic
I know that tomorrow is waiting
So I don't sit on my laurels patient
In two years come to my coronation
Failing that, visit me at my funeral
