The Backyard Of My Life

The Great Escape


Where do politics end and religion begin?
When your left for dead in this world of sin
Walking up and down the convoluted house of mirrors
With painted tears and memories tangled up in thoughts
Eight eternal circles running around my mind
Searching for the answer looking for the truth
Wonder will i ever get out of here then i turn the key
Think for yourself be the change you want to see

The great escape from porcelain gods
Facts and figures fake plastic idols
Finally free from all the false prophets
I found out the hard way i found out myself
That life ain't always black and white
Sometimes there is more then meets the eye
Every story has two sides
When your in the dark you will be blinded by the light

There's a voice inside you crying out for soul
Reality is prison when your deep down in hole
Waiting for a distraction from the normal and mundane
Remember today's newspapers are tomorrows discarded documents
Worthless without any meaning or value
They got nothing to show nothing to tell you
A web of lies and confusion is all they can sell you
So your standing silent in the shadows not so sure if your free
Speak up stand out be the change you want to see

Love hope and faith Will last forever
They cant take that away from us
Why should i believe in a world of stone
Its the crime of the century
When will we all come together
If we do nothing
Then everything will stay the same
For everyone and our childrens children

Why do war and peace seem so close and yet so far
You must have chaos within you
To give birth to a dancing star
Society is a sewer where were taught how to be a slave
Scholars and professors perceptions push you to the ground
They say we don't want independent thinkers son
Keep your brain shut and your mouth to
Here's your chains and a number join the back of the Que

The great escape from forced insanity
Rules and regulations i don't need to abide by
Don't have to listen to the serpent tongue media circus
I found out the hard way i found out myself
The way they divide and conquer never seemed right
If you don't have a depth or feel you will never see the picture
Every story has two sides
When your lost in the fog its hard to find the light
