Water Over Wine

He wasn't made like the great types No fame hype A lame knight Who had late-night stage fright Aged sight but emotions kept holding Molding his perception Self inception Kept him from true love To break barriers She'd come with open arms he'd make carriers But what's scarier he couldn't fight back Or wouldn't cuz he figured he was made like that His mind was at war with his heart Before he could start to see that he'd been torn apart It's more than hard to repair The darker the lair The more the other martyrs would stare So the years past He stuck to himself Kept his guard up with the past under his belt Wondering in doubt if his vision would clear But hope tends to choke when you're living in fear You never really know who you are Until you get pushed so far You have no choice but to choose Water over wine Waste or spend time Mind over matter but who matters to mind Cuz you never really know who you are Until you get pushed so far You have no choice but to choose Water over wine Waste or spend time Mind over matter but who matters to mind When there's so many distractions So many questions that need asking But instead get thrown in the trash bin Nothing's everlasting Yesterday's big star is a present day has been It rises and grows Then tries to explode Can't help but think I'll open up my eyes when I'm old I've tried to console my soul Slow my roll But seem to lose control with the more I know A prisoner confined to his own mind So he molds signs And places them inside of dope rhymes Until he can break free safely There's no take three So here he is with his heart on his sleeve The bars that he reads Seems to make it harder to breathe Concentration partly depletes He starving to be free completely But now he's starting to see that You never really know who you are Until you get pushed so far You have no choice but to choose Water over wine Waste or spend time Mind over matter but who matters to mind Cuz you never really know who you are Until you get pushed so far You have no choice but to choose Water over wine Waste or spend time Mind over matter but who matters to mind Who matters to mind Too busy trying to gather up dimes To survive in this battle for time Practically trying to cheat death But living miserable Illusions cloud our visuals and metamorph our principles I'm a victim but not afraid to say truth And wouldn't stop even if I was paid to I'll break through one way or another So my subsequent won't have to stay under covers And try to figure out what to do for the zeroes This melee lays waste to the true superheroes So I cast a tune to outlast the gloom That's been around since the legend of masamune Mass consumerism decides happiness Aim to be an asterisk or high of coc' and acid trips Blasphemous what they sell is not Gonna to keep me in this melting pot Cuz you know that You never really know who you are Until you get pushed so far You have no choice but to choose Water over wine Waste or spend time Mind over matter but who matters to mind Cuz you never really know who you are Until you get pushed so far You have no choice but to choose Water over wine Waste or spend time Mind over matter but who matters to mind
