Character - Falling Forward

I rage this war against myself

And I’m not the only casualty.

No ones leaving this play alive,

This play of mass tranquility.

Curtain call and then I walk,

Curtain drops I stumble fall.

Tripped by my material needs

I look out to the gawking creed.

Silent whisper becomes a roar.

I pick myself up off the floor

And I was forced to bow down

To a crowd laughing at me.

I rage this war against myself

And I’m not the only casualty.

Take ten paces back and fire

And see who falls first to their knees.

Don’t hunt the man thats lost his feelings,

Because he will die alone and waking.

Waiting for someone to serve him,

But I’ll bite the hand that tries to feed me.

And I raise my hand

High above the others

In the call for truth,

But invisible boy can’t speak.

He screams awake at night.

With all these feelings

Can they have some meaning

What am I trying to prove?

We raise our hands for the fight,

The fight in which we’ll lose.

This blind man won’t lead the blind,

Because this blind man knows no more than you.

We pray for change but I can’t pray.

A heart worth none in this senseless age,

A fortress lost in one short toss.

Ashes to ashes we all fall.

What a surprise when you look in my eyes,

Did you expect something more from me This grand Disguise?

Look in my eyes

Is it not what a mans suppose to be.

Look in my eyes, disguise.

Teach a boy just what to be.

Look in my eyes, disguise.

You prayers took this freedom,

Locked from me.

Is this freedom on his knees,

This child lies.

Locked from me.
