KNOW THE LEDGE

TODAY
I EMBRACED THE NIGHT
FORGOTTEN MEMORIES OF THE DAY
SO I RACED TOWARDS THE LIGHT
HERE IT WAS CLEAR
I REALIZED THE BIG PICTURE
PICKED UP THE SLACK
I STOPPED POINTING MY FINGER
CAN'T BLAME THE NEXT MAN
SOMETIMES PEOPLE AGENDAS
ARE WRITTEN ALL OVER THERE FACES
YOU CAN SPILL OUT YOUR SOUL
IN REAL CONVERSATIONS
WHILE THEY ARE NOT EVEN LISTENING
DRIFTING IN OTHER PLACES
NEVER PAYING ATTENTION
EVEN IF YOU HAVE A HEART OF GOLD
SOMETIMES THEY DON'T CEE IT
I SUPPOSE......
WE ARE THE CONTROLLERS
FOR THE PATH WE CHOSE
HOW HIGH WE HOLD OUR HEAD
IN ANY CHANGE OF WEATHER
SO IF YOUR NOT DEAD
KEEP IT MOVING
JUST KNOW THE LEDGE
AVOID ANY ILLUSIONS.

I'M THE JUICES OF A LEMON
BEING SQUEEZED
DRAINED
SITTING WITH THIS BEER IN MY HAND
TRYING TO EXPLAIN
THIS HALLUCINATION I SEEN
THAT HAD ME BEWILDERED
FOR A SECOND
I THOUGHT I SAW CHILDREN
A WHITE PICKED FENCE
FUNNY NOW I LAUGH
SLIGHTLY SLOUCHED, BENT
ON MY SIDE
MY BROTHER TOLD ME NOT TO TAKE THIS RIDE
WHAT STARTED AS A SLOW TRIP
TO THE STORE
BECAME OUR MOVIE
PLAYED BACK IN MY MIND
FLASHBACK OF US GOING PLACES
DIFFERENT FOOD WE TASTED
YOU WENT RIGHT
I WENT LEFT
THINKING ABOUT IT GETS ME MORE UPSET
BUT IT WASN'T YOU
I'M PENSIVE NOW ABOUT THE THINGS I CHOSE TO DO
FROM TIME AND TIME AGAIN
I BE ASKING
WHERES MY FRIEND?
SO I WAKE UP FROM MY DAZE
SIT UP AND GRAB MY WHEEL
KNOWING THAT THE ROAD HAS BUMPS AHEAD
EACH ONE I FEEL
I CATCH MYSELF HERE AND THERE
SHAKING MY HEAD
IN DISBELIEF AND DENIAL
I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT YOU WILL BE GONE FOR A WHILE!
