What Does It
Now what does it profit
a man to gain
The whole world
but lose his soul.
I don't know...
ask the fool
With the gold.
Chomping on the bread of Decite...
And boy does it ever taste sweet...
But afterwards
your mouth is full of concrete.
Two eyes that never meet,
Feeling so incomplete...
Yet we look at each other...
And say...Ssh
we're just being discreet!
Running in circles
like three blind mice...
Out of sight and out of mind,
Cant you see,
I'm on my grind
Doing this on my own time,
This is my house,
I'm in my prime.
Funny how your life
is sour like lime...
So you never realize
the real lies
that lie
Deep within the lines
of a man-made mind.
Yet you act so surprise
when you find yourself
in a house full of compromise.
A penny for your thoughts,
here take a few shots,
Don't worry about the time you lost,
it wasn't worth much
so don't count the cast.
Shipwrecked and upset,
your life holds no threat...
and the way you act,
this is the best you'll ever get!
So step up or get wrecked,
because the chain is off the neck,
so wild and carefree
a short step away from destiny
ready to take a step
so, please
don't ignore
the blood and sweat.
No longer bound
By my regret.
So look into my eyes and
tell me what you see,
am I your friend or your enemy?
A good time or a casualty
But at this point
It doesn't even matter,
because I break through reality,
and shatter your fantasy,
so please don't flatter me.
Because I couldn't care less
For who you are or
what you think,
if you swim
Or if you sink...
Because this life is too short
And ends in a blink.
Stined by your pride,
swept by the tide,
my shame on the rise...
But this little light of mine...
I am going to let it shine and run this
Race til I've run dry.
Now what does it profit
a man to gain
The whole world but lose his soul.
I don't know...
ask the fool
With the gold.
Chomping on the bread of Decite...
And boy does it ever taste sweet...
But afterward, your mouth is full of concrete.
