Struggle being the one thing that binds us humans together...
Struggle and triumph through the worst of weather..
Well in some senses, since each struggle has a different plight..
and we'd look at other struggles in different light...
Even though, it can pass in the wink of an eye..
and you might know the secret in the sky...

A longing for things unknown and lost..
Learning the truth at the time of loss..
Speaking around and letting yourself be herd..
and not knowing the real meaning of the word..

One evening long ago, we knew...
but those remembered facts are now few..
the world twisted the facts with time..
and let us deter the thoughts of lost crime..

Another day, another dream to pass..
when we wake up one morning and find out we're last..

So fight the good fight, struggle for those bills..
and satisfy that insomnia with a few blue pills..

Struggle another day in and another day out..
and hear your dream scream and shout..
How true love was in the picture, but somehow faded in it's glory..
but then comes in the loss and the whole end of that chapter in the story..

One night, One dream of truth
Scratching nail and tooth..
Wanting something more than just faded illusions of freedom..
Wanting something less than that dream of a self made kingdom.

Inner toil and inner plight..
Hiding in and away from peoples sight..
Dealing with the dreams to come and to go..
Dealing what how time speeds up and can goes by so slow..
How bills surmount and life seems rough..
and how the weak fail, while we survive with the tough..

Crossed eyes in recollection with in,
and with things uncovered, the healing can begin..

Waking from a dream, still hazy in the mornings light
with the dream just seeming to fade from your sight..

Is this just a life to dream through, not make real..
Is this just a memory shot of something we all steal?
Do we amuse the faith and loose the battle?
Do we all just file in line like the soon to be, slaughtered cattle?
Dream it away, for it's gone for tomorrow, today..
Dream it here, since in the morning, it won't be so crystal clear...
Hide in thoughts and emotional stances..
and stop running around and taking all those small chances..
Give away the best parts of change for delierium and profound wisdom...
Wrap yourself up in your own struggle and material wealth kindom...
