Untitled (Typical journeys beyond)

Untitled (Typical journeys beyond)

Verse 1

Typical journeys beyond the sun

And roller-coasters in my heart

I've rejected love so many times that I've lost count

Black daggers and white knives

Within an inch of my eyes and hands

Always on guard and never surprised

Trust is reserved for fools

Catastrophic interactions and fallout like no one has ever seen

History is made and revised

The mind is the ultimate prize

Verse 2

Mad men and little women

Working together behind the scenes

Pushing paper and creating lies

These are the elders to despise

With one foot forward, a dozen steps back

Kicked repeatedly when on the ground

Yelling fire is more advantageous

To getting the help I need

The weak beg, the smart take for themselves

If the lights are red, they change it to green

Reinvention is a necessary skill

To learn and to implement

Verse 3

A rebel of unknown status

Refusing the poison that's presented to me

Still, some things go unnoticed

The senses are compromised

In an era of confusion and angst

The lack of fortitude is the centrepiece

If I have no standards, I'll accept everything

Blending in like snowflakes in blizzards

All roads eventually lead to somewhere

My main goal is to achieve peace of mind

Nothing is free, sacrifices must be made

To learn is to live with failure

Chorus 1

Bumps and bruises come and go

The healing process is sometimes slow

Naturality gains popularity

But no one knows who I am

Chorus 2

Distractions and deadlines come and go

Personal improvement is sometimes slow

Psychology gains popularity

But no one knows who I am

Chorus 3

Thoughts and actions come and go

The passage of time is sometimes slow

Marathons gain popularity

But no one knows who I am
