In every cloud lies a silver lining
And in every day I frown I find a face that's smiling
But in every smile I face I find a rick or island
I see you counting your money and half consider violence
You see the look in my eye and wonder what I'm writing
I see the words on the paper and think the same thing twice in
Every man lies a monster and a conscience fighting
And there's no reason to be cautious if you don't fear dying
It's not surprising that the dope I smoke holds off the time when
Anger simply takes over but not for lack of trying
See little glimmers of crystal hope in this dope I'm grinding
In every toke is money smoked that is no longer mine
And behind every lie lies the truth residing
And in everybody's eyes there lies a truthful silence
And if the silence is golden then why am I still trying
To stack up earthly possessions when all we need is quiet?
I just try to close my eyes and then meditate
But the pressure almost deafens me and devastates
My mind and I can't find no silence in this cityscape
Yeah I'm a loser?? sirens who? serenade
I just try to close my eyes and then meditate
But depression never deafens me so let it grate
I find my demons and my conscience standing face to face
It's pen on paper 'til it drips with rage gets on my fingertips and I'm still in flames
Well I know what to do
And I know what to say
No more, no less
Hold on hold, on hold, on hold on
In every breath that might light the start of a typhoon
In every direction there's a law to apply to
To stand out in every crowd you have to fight through
In every thought of life I know I'll die soon
And every high noon helps the moon shine to shine to
Doubting every line like in every line my mind moves
Sign a time in every sight to see I can't decide to
One in every circus in every line you'll find truth
Blind youth living in every dark tree my bind to
Time stretching every sense the reason I stay kind to
Demons and the angels in every type I fight you
I try to win every way defence is still to strike you
Write loops and spit bars for dark times in every day
Heavyweight pressure on my back hit in every way
Stand up deal with the pain mad in every stage
Alleviated stress in every mess
I just try to close my eyes and then meditate
But the pressure almost deafens me and devastates
My mind and eye can't find no silence in this cityscape
Yeah I'm a loser?? sirens who? serenade
I just try to close my eyes and then meditate
But depression never deafens me so let it grate
I find my demons and my conscience standing face to face
It's pen on paper 'til it drips with rage gets on my fingertips and I'm still in flames
I just try to close my eyes and then meditate
But I can't find no silence in the cityscape
I just try to close my eyes and then meditate
I find my demons and my conscience standing face to face
It's pen on paper 'til it drips with rage gets on my fingertips and I'm still in flames.
