The Wire

Verse 1
Your favourite weapon is rated R
It darkens the sky
If I change it, I'll be Sunshine Superman
High seas and desert lands are part of your broken world
It should cease to exist
I want to re-direct the train you've been travelling on
Which leads you to despair
Which causes you not to care
A new world in your heart is what I'd like to construct
Building up your body, your mind, your soul

Verse 2
Manufacturing coffins is not the industry I dabble in
Calling off the search for you is something I just won't do
If I must, I'll use bows and arrows to eliminate shadows
The shadows surrounding you and occupying your domain
Flooding it with misery and soaking with anger
Your world should be of warmth
An abundance of comfort
I'm wearing steel-toed boots
To build up your body, your mind, your soul

Verse 3
Tick, tock goes the clock
It's both a friend and a foe
Treating everyone the same
Deflecting all the blame
Moments of opportunities seldom present themselves
And when they do, you must take heed and venture on
Be carried away with the wind of changes
The changes you've needed
To build up your body, your mind, your soul

Chorus
Prisons on fire, down to the wire
Seizing the airwaves of your consciousness
Always a rebel, I won't die on my knees
You shouldn't either so begin your journey with me
Timing is everything
And everything is down to the wire
