Mislead
Birthed from a lioness with a hunting desire
Raised with gorillas in the line of fire
Walk through the mist in a jungle of barb wire
Mind twisted from adult visions in my adolescence
Did I grow up to fast sipping evil from a glass bottle?
Raised with the peasants who were accustomed to transgression
So many lost causes never learn how to follow through
Heavy on the throttle on this journey I ride through
A snake once told me hell be there till the end
Pretend to be my friend
But when the grass was cut low the wickedness commenced.
Forced me to look in the mirror
So now I see clearer.
Refuse to cut my beard off
Walk with the weirdoes
Dodging darts and arrows
Corporate wants my bone marrow
Cloning sparrows
Now through your eyes they follow
To see a different tomorrow some blood must be shed
Lives must be lost
Awaken the dead
I’m no longer mislead
Through turbulent ocean currents I tread water
In hopes to reach the main land
and raise our sons and daughters
Raised with gorillas in the line of fire
Walk through the mist in a jungle of barb wire
Mind twisted from adult visions in my adolescence
Did I grow up to fast sipping evil from a glass bottle?
Raised with the peasants who were accustomed to transgression
So many lost causes never learn how to follow through
Heavy on the throttle on this journey I ride through
A snake once told me hell be there till the end
Pretend to be my friend
But when the grass was cut low the wickedness commenced.
Forced me to look in the mirror
So now I see clearer.
Refuse to cut my beard off
Walk with the weirdoes
Dodging darts and arrows
Corporate wants my bone marrow
Cloning sparrows
Now through your eyes they follow
To see a different tomorrow some blood must be shed
Lives must be lost
Awaken the dead
I’m no longer mislead
Through turbulent ocean currents I tread water
In hopes to reach the main land
and raise our sons and daughters
