The moon was gracious and that is alright with me

For lack of better words in order to reach
A secondary result, refuting my shortcomings
Have you ever pondered
What could had been if Time was elastic
To extend any particular moment where one
Hasty in response or the tone of his voice
Mused speed and by disregarding finesse
Lost all but the timing of eloquence
A clap-trap, granted, by order of rash exhaustion
Exalted by exposing secrets, open for the crowd to decide

Alas, silence speaks wonders sometimes
But, then again, so does anyone's face as of late
John Does, with grayed hair and faces
Baggy eyes, their spirits a reflection of a faint sense of urgency
I cannot deny I too would rather pray for absolution
Were my sons and daughters content to walk this earth without a heart
To you hear it? An enervating vibe of imminence?
Can we uphold this movement, up-keeping a religion
That ignores the warning signs, to take more then we can give
For we would do so much better on our own
As long as technology impulses us further

To replace the Maker
Emancipation and turn the world concepts upside down
To draft the fellowship into chaos
There is word on the streets, war and blood on the horizon
Ah! But equality should follow the tragedy
For post-turning everyone (else) basically into my enemy
There would be no one else to rule beside me
Alas, our very essence and souls are under pressured

To turn my doubts into violence, friends
Is both easy and a provokingly smooth transaction
Gold for lies. Lives for means. Excuses for prayers and thoughts.
Aware that the feeling, good, lingers upstream in a bodily holy communion
It does feel good, for vice is tempting and broke better men before
My principles cannot compare, caught wind of a mere breeze
and off they gone, "where were you?".
I might tire of making up my mind
The moon shall stay a gracious idol, and that is alright with me

Held my hang, cherished my touch.

Ragged cloth, weaken spirits
I was so sure we truly fucked it up that time
Tripped over my own ego, snared by an easier road
The distance stands equal to yesterday
Childhood amnesia? I disagree
I could be merry and breeze through
Hard work, blood, sweat and tears
For it rains, even indoors, tonight
On special occasions, such as this
A shared birthday, birthright, connecting
Damaged pride, injuries that open up
Whenever words get exchanged pound by pound

It got me thinking
After all is settled dust and done
Dawn and sunrise shall follow
Once more, regardless and inconsequential
For I matter so very, very little to most
And that is quite alright
I find charming to be taught and schooled
For idols of mine not of old in shambles
Familiar voices, sweet adoring voices
They talked of memories 
As if to warn me, I rest assured
Preoccupied for my health, bless their souls
I fear not to be missing out
For I am a man on a mission
Never to be engulfed on that which is wicked
And achieve, through action and virtue
Something I can take good measure and rest upon
As the worthy soil and show of those who made it possible

What then to make them realize
Should the flesh falter
And my tones tremble
For I am a mere mortal and weary from travel
And experimentation alike
I shan't give up yet, furthermore, ever
To try to make a change and generate it
To inspire and produce providence
To some, never simply to captivate through necessity
Never that, far too plain and liable to sin
Not exactly what I suppose
You came here today to hear my dear?
Well..
"I don't really wanna be the bitch that gets shit and bottles it
Deliberately swallows it, one elss contender, life
They'll provide the documents to make believe you're gonna fit
Spend your time as a militant, self-help perfection hype 
We can make this real
Already tried to go for gold
Let's go! For the stories that remain untold."
