Mordred Vision 1. In Time The phone rings and I don’t answer Good news always waits And I scream into the pillow But I never shed a tear So I tear away the blankets My heart beats bleeding knuckles In your eyes I feel the magnet Falling to the floor I melt I am higher than the mountains I am lower than the dirt All alone I sit and wonder if time will take away the hurt For years I walked in circles For a time I stayed within In time I learned my lesson Everyday my world still spins I’m the man around the corner Bottle in a bag Numbing pain inside me inside I step up into the sky There’s no room for the dreamer The world has shut its eyes Scratching icy fingers dig deep into my spine Your train has come and left you and there’s no other on the way Three days before the end of the month and I got no place to stay For years I walked in circles For A time I stayed within In time I learned my lesson Everyday my world still spins Now I’m looking out my new window, cigarette in hand See the empty faces scattered like the sand Not ashamed of the way I feel I know my world is real But time and time again I run away Not ashamed of the way I feel I know my world is real But time and time again I run away For years I walked in circles For a time I stayed within In time I learned my lesson Everyday my world still spins 2. West County Hospital ‘Cause with society I never related I was locked away, tied up and sedated And there were others like me Locked up by their families When will they ever learn we can’t live in their realities But down deep inside I knew I’d rise above I knew I’d be worth something Someday if only just to love They try to make you afraid Structure the way you behave Take all your dignity Turned into a mindless slave Look out from inside Under fluorescent light Ritalin and Thorazine had kind of dulled my will to fight Cling to information Not knowing if it’s true A quick evaluation Experiment on you Cling to information Not knowing if it’s true A quick evaluation Experiment on you Cause with society I never related I was locked away, tied up and sedated And there were others like me Locked up by their families When will they ever learn we can’t live in their realities They try to make you afraid Structure the way you behave Take all your dignity Turned into a mindless slave Cling to information Not knowing if it’s true A quick evaluation Experiment on you Cling to information Not knowing if it’s true A quick evaluation Experiment on you Cause with society I never related I was locked away, tied up and sedated Cling to information Not knowing if it’s true A quick evaluation Experiment on you Cling to information Not knowing if it’s true A quick evaluation Experiment on you 3. The Vagrant You have to help me with this theory of a nation I’d stand to greet you but I’ve sores upon my feet I think I’d rather stay sublime You have the money to keep me alive for a day now I hear the jingle and smell the ripple so sweet I just don’t care if I’m on time You said you’d help me but you tell me you’re late for your train Can you tell me why? I’m left with no means to survive My child looks at you and turns away from your stare now It’s ok, he’s just ashamed of the hunger in his eyes I know the nights no friend of mine Now I’m sifting through the garbage for my next meal Can you tell me why? I’m left with no means to survive Will work for food you read so clear The sign in front of me was my inspiration for the year Can you tell me why? I’m left with no means to survive 4. Reach Pluto’s third eye’s rising in Neptune’s cycle I’ve searched the earth a thousand lives No ones disciple The sun is my right eye and the moon is my left Thunder rides across the sky to the west We dream the vast horizon Underneath a desert sky We reach into another world And our souls will never die I stride purified over miles of fire Hypnotize my minds eye out of body fly To the wind and sky dancing ghosts blow vision smoke Blind lead blind to find the silent word I spoke We dream the vast horizon Underneath a desert sky We reach into another world And our souls will never die Night sun can dawn helps you find the way The fabric of a dream weaved into the veil We dream the vast horizon Underneath a desert sky We reach into another world And our souls will never die 5. Close Minded Day after Day the same old shit that people ask me Doin’ the style I do, no it’s not an easy task for me People ask, “Yo black, whats up with that rock’n roll style with hip-hop buckwild?” Sweatin’ me ‘cause I’m doin’ that material I tell them it’s hittin’, they don’t listen, they don’t hear me though I ask them, “Can’t you find an open mind to relate to somethin’ kind of different, or are you just afraid to?” You’re close minded You’re close minded In other words you’re blinded Let me take you on a trip and when your donethrough rewind it Yeah I’m workin’ hard, I don’t mean in the back yard But searchin’ and strivin’ to find an open mind, enough to leave your brain scarred Look at the horizon isn’t it surprising to see your lifestyle expand right before your eyes and Take a little chance on a change And open your mind and come closer to the front of the stage You’re close minded You’re close minded You’re close minded They deny it but don’t listen Try it don’t fight it see what you’re missin’ Takin’ a little hard rock crunch Addin’ some hip-hop, some funky bass and now you got a buckshot Different style, versatile so much to get into After a while a big smile, an open mind will bring you Thinkin’ about the I.N.P.U.T. You know it’s got to be the M.O.R.D.R.E.D. But you’re close minded In other words you’re blinded Let me take you on a trip and when your done through rewind it Yeah I’m workin’ hard, I don’t mean in the back yard But searchin’ and strivin’ to find an open mind, enough to leave your brain scarred You’re close minded You’re close minded You’re close minded 6. Vision Walk within the region of confusion Enter the corridors of illusion Within the complex mind lurk memories Events that shape our life Their imagery My vision is a part of me My mind interprets all I see A perception of reality Create a world in which I see Locked in side a private room, we are at home So lost within ourselves Existing alone Beliefs we hold within us Our conception A private tunnel view of perception We choose to Shape our own reality Specific point of view no one can see My vision is a part of me My mind interprets all I see A perception of reality My thoughts distorting what I see Sometimes purpose is lost We’re in the dark Left with nothing to say Nowhere to start Try to reach an answer We hope to find Some small understanding of our time My vision is a part of me My mind interprets all I see A perception of reality Create a world in which I see
