The Way

My love resides far away on the other side Where better times lie and we dance in sunshine Looking for a guide to navigate the strong tide To an island in the sky where the butterflies thrive But I was stabbed in the back and chased out by the reaper Descending into hell while the stairs get steeper Truth seekers, pessimists, and non-believers Peeling back the layers while the truth gets deeper Salt in the heart while the wound is still fresh And you're left for the vultures to dine upon your flesh Take a train through the ocean just to watch the bells ring where all the time and money don't mean a damn thing to a land of tropical, and optical illusions where words hold the same weight as a new year's resolution take what you can from the wreckage and the ruins shooting bullets through the ozone to cave gods' roof in Uh! Watch the sun cascade As it falls to earth burning like a million light rays Take these souls of ours lord and put them on display And then the gods of judgment look upon with faces of dismay (Yuh-yuh, Yeah-yeah!) And yeah I guess we tried Do anything it takes just to reach the other side Take these souls of ours lord and put them on display And then we ask the gods above "Please show us the way" My heart desires, eternal rest, to be satisfied Can't attack my feelings, try your best, forever classified All this positivity is acting like a parasite And I'm too terrified to traverse to the other side Oh my God, my soul is softer than a Caterpie Shoot my shot, waiting for that score, Henry Avery Catch a smile on my face? Mark it an anomaly 'Cuz my waterworks run longer than a homily The Path of least resistance sing Bohemian Rhapsodies My skin bleeds tragedies attempt to cheat my sanity Show my most decent equal rotting teeth cavities Need complete apathy to reach a sweet clarity Dragging two left feet while I heal my broken rhythms Red in my wisdom forcing green into my system Perma-dreaming disembarking as I'm probing euphemisms With Jack and McFlurry as my coping mechanism (uh!) Watch the sun cascade As it falls to the earth burning like a million light rays Take these souls of ours lord and put them on display And then the gods of judgment look upon with faces of dismay (Yuh-yuh, Yeah-yeah!) And yeah I guess we tried Do anything it takes just to reach the other side Take these souls of ours lord and put them on display And then we ask the gods above "Please show us the way, lawd" Show us the way to The Other Side, Lord! Show us the way to The Other Side, Lord! Show us the way to The Other Side, Lord!
