Untitled (Close your eyes)

Close your eyes and give me your land
In return I'll give you glorified lies
No need to starve when I have all the food
Display loyalty and you'll get to eat
Necessities will be at your disposal
So long as you agree with me

You'll get to brush your teeth and cover your as-s
Pretty please forgive me if that sounds crass
You're too sensitive but I can help to butch you up
Put you in a ring with a prize fighter
Charge people lots of money to see the spectacle
If your ear is bitten off
Do the same to the other guy
By helping me you're helping yourself
Your assistance will go a long way
By making you a better person and enriching your soul

Clap your hands and bear witness with me
As I speak the truth ever so loudly
Every word I say is from on high
Don't reject me for I'm the messenger
Syllables spill out like water from a tap
Gather all the buckets and have them filled

Time is always of the essence
Sadly, it waits for no man
We could go on and on about how things should be
Indulge ourselves in wasteful fantasies
But those luxuries are bestowed on children
And it's up to us to teach them the right way

What goes around may come back your way
And if it does, you better duck
You'll have to come to terms with your actions
Embrace accountability as gracefully as you can
Stand tall, keep your head up high
For I'm always by your side

If you ask for forgiveness, you shall receive it
A judgement-free environment is an optimal one
I'll teach you compassion and empathy
And my personal brand of philosophy
You don't have to travel the world to get what you need
The cup of wisdom is now in your hands
You've been dehydrated
Drink up and fill your soul
Goodness will purify you in profound ways
It has the ability to outlast your bones

The future is here and now
What you make of it is everlasting
No need to knock on wood if you do as you're told
Foolish beings have been bought and sold
But you're wise enough to understand the gift you've been given

Going down is not an option
You do your best to live a good life
It gets more challenging as the days pass
And surrendering becomes appealing
Follow my lead and you'll eventually see
That what I've explained to you is real

I'm interested in your well-being
I'm interested in your healing
A comprehensive approach without restrictions
A metamorphosis of every cell and thought
Clean out your ears and eyes
For I have the cure you seek
The search for tomorrow begins now
You're young and on the edge of adventure
Place your feet in my hands
And I'll release you into the sky
You'll go beyond the clouds
And experience what's on the other side
