Time... what?

Where did yesterday go,
I don't know, I can't hold it,
where is the future, like did the past,
It went by so fast, but only in the present,
we are present,

Time does not exist, like our separateness,
we are one, like the moon and the sun,
the word 'begun' and 'end' don't exist,
a thick mist, I walk, into the unknown,

Where was I when there was no 'I',
as the clock ticks,
flashes across my eye,
this world's tricks,
worries, I use to cry,
but now I know the trick,
now I rebel, like a spy

A wish

a glimpse of you is all I wish, a wink, staring at your window pane leaves me in pain,
walking pass your doorstep,
it is 12, i should leave, but something makes me want to stare,
to a bare silhouette across the moonlit balcony you have me,
lost, a ghost that longs, a lonely walker, night time stalker,
an imaginary lover, you have me hypnotized, it is so late at night,
I should leave,but something inside won't let you be,

as silence would be, another day with no you in my life,
as lonely as can be, another day without you by my side
as dead as i can be, oh so lonely cathartic night,

forever staring, forever wanting,
forever hurting, forever viewing from the street side,
using the street light as my only vision,
place my hands together and pray
and keep on wishing,
that I may be at your doorstep someday

No longer a slave

They put braces on our ankle,
we try to move and mangle,
a sea of locks unable to untangle,
we are shackled,

Searching for the truth,
it seems so obscure,
no matter how obscure,
it is a powerful cure,
a cure for our insecurities,
the perfect immunity,

The government put a gun to my head,
the government place cement on my legs,
pointed the gun at me and said,
feeling the cold barrel on my forehead,
be a slave or be dead,

So I obey,
whatever they say,
call me a slave,
I just want to live the dream,
they slip me a pill,
put me to sleep,
sedation is an easy way to
prison our will,

But I woke up,
I saw the light and chose to get up,
see money is not evil, nor is it good,
merely a tool,
think of it as a key,
more money more keys,
I'm searching for the door of freedom
