Absent Minded
Living the lessons of the cards
Pretty soon you know
i have to realise what card im on
pretty soon i have to figure out
what the cult that has me trapped is doing
to manipulate my life as i study the tarot
and teach them how to play with the devil
am I on the minor arcana or the trumps?
do they know how it works
I'm hoping it takes them more time to test out the deck on me
as i go through the lessons of each card
foreward or in revers
what card am i going through?
What suit am i on?
cups swords wand pentacles
or are we using the trump?
one by one they flip over a card
and i live out its lesson
as i'm manipulated by the cult
of people i dont know in power
so they can learn
so they can understand
and its a free service
for my life we're playing
my tears and pain
and i dont get paid by the hour
The politicians know me
the psychics do to
card by card by card
do you know what i've been through?
get the worst over with first i told them
and now its almost done
the singers and song writers
are working on the puzzles
and tricks for suits and trump
and the movies and media work on them too
card by card you live it in ignorance vicariously
but it all falls on me
card by card by card to taech the prophets and psychics in real time
in real life
the politicians and musicians what it looks like to have these cards come up
I'm living the life lessons of the cards i tell you
one by bloody one
The hanged man is
i put myself in this situation
The devil tells me the keys to end the torment are within my reach
The moon is exaggerated emotion of insanity and prophecy
and the tower warns of unforseen catastrophe
do u wanna play
do u wann aplay with me
help me with the penatacles
and make me a king
make me rich
while i fall in love at the end
of my horror story
where you see how the story ends
and you get to play false martyr and prophet
and predict everything my friends
and foreshadow whats in the cards for me
but seriously the cult
the cult is around me
controlling my sex life
my fortune
as i live the life lessons of the cards out one by one
my selfless act for man
so i can be loved
and its three swords through my heart
its stormy weather for the affections
and what did i throw away
what did i forget?
right the guessing game of what card i'm on
and to test my ESP
and to learn to read better and comprehend for the world
the reward of the travel is the lessons
and that is my success
the eye on th eprize says the major
but lets not forget the omens of the four kings
tears and hatred
fear and paranoia
tragedy and poverty
lost love and suicide
one by one i play out the life lessons of the cards and when im done
i have to find something else
for the cult to do
otherwise
They will play the last card
the worst card at anytime
not the death card of transformation and change
maybe the card that speaks of mental anguish and pain
or lost love and misfortune for friends
there i sone card they can play
to deal me an even worse han d then they thought theyve already dealt
and when i run away
which is the only way
they will just find me again
as one by one i live the life lessons of the Tarot cards
all 78 of them
get the bad over with first they ask?
thats a trick...
tell them if it happens to you
to play the worst but save your death for after the success of the tragedy
and then learn to never forget as ypou bide your time to plot your escape
