Taking Charge

You’re Taking charge, you’re taking charge, you’re taking charge, yeah, You’ve been chosen
A little bit more of self importance, a little bit more empowered devotion, a little bit more entitlement to excess lies, well what’s the motion?
My guess is worth far less than most, it’s no wonder why I’m not the choice, manifested from another angle and only for that gracious host.
It’s up to those empowered in life to view things from enlightened heights, you’re taking charge cause you proved something, now’s your chance to change the world.
People look at you for answers, hold yourself to what you stand for, something more than status quo, something you are longing for?
You’re Taking charge, you’re taking charge, you’re taking charge, yeah, You’ve been chosen
Standing proud with the badge of honour, don’t give up and don’t you flaunt it, someone has to be the mayor, while others make their judging glare.
Don’t you think that we don’t buy it, inspired thoughts that make us higher, it’s the only thing we’re longing for, so don’t forget to mark it bold.
Take us to the glory land, where fulfilment is closely at hand, make us all feel like we did something special with our spec of sand.
Sell me the hard sale about moving up the ladder, then punch me square in the nose and laugh a little louder,. hah hah ha
You’re Taking charge, you’re taking charge, you’re taking charge, yeah, You’ve been chosen
I once had the power of allusion leading me astray. It made me lie, it made me cry, it made me an enemy.
I could tell myself a story, something not quite make belief. It was a lie, I told myself, I was still the enemy.
I Asked myself a million times, and I never could agree. Are the words coming out my mouth making any sense to me?
All I hear is ego, all I hear are lies, manipulations are conceived within, perpetuate righteous dark concern
Chasing the allusion, what allusion is my focus? I am what I choose, manifested to be, convoluted piece of allegory?
Or is it that I’m focused, and actually meant to be, of course we all are what we choose, so tell me what I’m supposed to be?
No you tell me, no you tell me, no you tell me who I’m supposed to be, cause apparently I’m not the one I ever started out to be.
You’re Taking charge, you’re taking charge, you’re taking charge, yeah, You’ve been chosen

Sugar Fix
04:09

You gotta beg me,
You gotta beg me now
for something sweet.
It should never be this easy to get your fix, cherished cherry flavoured liquorice,
I want your sugar, I want it now, I’m fixing for another round
It’s addiction found in the purest white, not the kind for a snort, the one affecting your bite
as your teeth fall out, cracked from the core, you’re looking for a heathy score
Snicker with delight its a devilish grin. Succumbing to another sense gratification.
No woman made me feel this way. Why ’s it gotta taste so damn great.
Dancing with the doughnuts around my thighs, a belly dance for the ages we’re dipping our tides
ride a little more on the fairy tale, and we keep tilting further on up the scale.
You gotta beg me,
You gotta beg me now
for something sweet.
A box of sweets? They’ll never last the night, in fact most likely they won’t last the ride.
Coming home from the store, wrapped up in delight, I have no more control it’s engulfing my life
32, 36, 38, 42 my belt keeps notching up as I deal with the proof.
Here’s another stretch of leathery death that tells you the truth of my sugary depths.
I want to quit but I can’t, my fate is sealed… everywhere I go I’m coping a feel
of the things that make my soul feel dark, and the food of life is stark
Realized that it takes a concerted mind to overcome the damage of this cruel joke’s crime,
It’ll all come to pass cause the word is out, but the damage is done til we all shout out!
You gotta beg me,
You gotta beg me now
for something sweet.

Kindness and Love
03:01
|

|
I’m not defined by the things that I say, I have thoughts and those thoughts are always trying to change me. When I sit calm, and I open my mind, I open my soul and I look inside.
I have love for everyone, so much that it hurts. There are so many things I can’t seem to understand, like why we run around in a chemical daze, yearning for that one who gives a passionate gaze.
I once thought I was happy, I found satisfaction far beyond, where many men are dreaming of all their desires , I got everything I ever wanted
But it wasn’t enough, no it’s never enough. Push the limits of my comfort zone, simply because?
I couldn’t see it, trapped within, my foundation had shattered and I realized my life is how I make it all matter.
How lucky am I, blessed with freedom and belief. Ideology to ponder over thousands of years. Information at my finger tips, the chance to evolve, and yet I keep finding others content to revolve.
Going around the sun, a spec of infinite potential. It’s alarming we continue to not be influential.
It’s essential that we humble and take time for our earth, take time for our love, to know why it all hurts.
Putting off tomorrow, wondering how It all matters, I only have the time for focus on the chatter, Words and words, more words of what you think, oh you actually know, no room to impose?
Dispose of those thoughts, that chip on your shoulder, where some are more passive and some are much older. Wisdom is boundless, if we open our ears and open our eyes, understanding our fears.
Loving brings anxiety, I can’t seem to kick, when the terms are decreed by the chemical trips, there’s more to my world, more to my life, and I want to share the terms decreed by the wise.
It’s not about security, your needs of my prosperity, I need a bit of clarity, I’m looking for austerity.
Rarity, and one for the ages, I’m over the battles the human created.
Perceived, I see a difference between kindness and love,the latter causing pain in the name, forget lust. I’m starting to wonder if it’s all made up, though kindness is something I can always trust.
I went deeply in my mind, lost myself in the sea, never thought to take a step to look outside of me.
My spirit awakened and it saw through the crack, I don’t know if I can make it, I can never go back.
Maybe something’s gotta give?

Distracted Calls
02:59
|
|||
|
Going out for a couple of drinks, put on my dress shirt, pit check, don’t stink,
Heading out on the town, gonna break in on down, I’m gonna hit the dance floor.
Pre drink meeting friends at a neighbourhood pub, greeted by old friend’s newest single guest, proper greet, take a seat and I’ll make belief that’s she’s gotta be a little bit into me.
Distracted by technology, I fumble for sincerity. my apologies, just messaging I had to finish with the one who’s texting me.
You were telling me a story about something you said, sorry I drifted off and now I’m lost again, like a child walking into a movie too many questions about what you were doing.
If I just put the phone down, engaged in you, she’d probably notice we’re compatible too.
Pipe dreams are long and arduous, no end in sight, no promises, ring ding ding a ling ding ding ding ding, hold on…I gotta grab this.
Bionic life, we’re locking down our minds ,forgetting the connections of our passing times, paranoid, devoid, resolute, annoyed, Feigned distracted moments fill the void.
What happened to sincerity? I caught a glimpse before we all took leave, and pockets of the past that reminisce, finally…the moment has come to this. Bliss.
I Missed that call, and I missed the next, I’m starting to feel the impending stress. In the back of my mind the voices are screaming, am I missing out, my minds a reeling, oh the feeling…creeping up on my leg, vibrating every muscle up my vertebrae,
Itching closer…beading sweat on my face, my phone goes up, I’ve lost my place, no trace and I couldn’t erase the fact you left long before the chase. Relate… too late
