Closed
Like the jaws of a lion
After consuming prey
Closed
Like the laws of Zion
After throwing away
Clothes
All of the raw messiah
Calling to us from...
... Where?
Is this the sixth dimension
Seventh, eighth, clear?
Like the skies so blue
Will even I die too
Is the truth still true
Or were they all on crack
The ones who did create
This ancient artifact
One thing is for certain
There is no going back
We have closed the curtains
In shadows we exact
The right amount of pleasure
The correct amount of pain
So that we can all live justly
Or so we can refrain
From the just side of our living
And believe we did it wrong
Even when we're always giving
We feel like we don't belong
The grass is always greener
On the other side of the fence
When we have lived our life and seen earth
I wonder, will it make sense?
Closed
Like the shield of an alien
After staying at bay
Closed
Like the mind of a Mayan
After waking a day
Cloaked
In a shoulderlong cape
A wonder, a world...
A mistake?
Is this our time that calls us
Is there time, or just we?
Did we create all that appalls us?
Did we create all that we leave?
Behind us when we gather
Under the starspangled banner
Regardless of race or gender
The world, a common sender
Nature is truly disgusting
The earth is revolting in nature
Lust and trust and we must think
We must learn to not grow greater
Grow larger than we can handle
The balance of common cash
A sandal in the sand, is all
We have in the hope we stash
Sinking, drifting, disappearing
Reappearing, straying, staying
Withering as the weight of the world
Pushes down upon us
Are we real or was it uncalled for?
The right, the wrong, the frail and kind
Our existence is appalling and lawful
And words are all that come to mind
Even though they're false, even though I know
That they are human, and we will go
Away someday, and take with us
The world
