On This I Stand - Eyedea & Abilities[00:00:00]
On this I stand[00:00:20]
Two sets of footprints placed[00:00:21]
Ahead of the dirt softened[00:00:23]
From tear drops[00:00:24]
And overlooking the earth[00:00:25]
As the son of the moon[00:00:27]
Protected by a forcefield[00:00:28]
Of pure thought [00:00:29]
On this I stand[00:00:30]
A rally of unemployed disgrunt of[00:00:31]
Words on for long[00:00:33]
Journeys to somewhere[00:00:34]
Somewhere that only causes me pain[00:00:36]
As I strain my soul[00:00:38]
Crammin into rightness[00:00:39]
So I can bring some there [00:00:40]
I bleed the blood of a cold stone[00:00:41]
That rolls without a shadow[00:00:43]
I'm only deep enough to realize[00:00:44]
That I'm shallow[00:00:46]
My head I keep it up[00:00:46]
But its hard to keep it straight[00:00:48]
When you don't believe in love [00:00:49]
And you just cant cope with hate[00:00:50]
Metal rust leaves turn into dust [00:00:52]
As the difference between love[00:00:54]
And lust clarifies as trust[00:00:55]
If you only had an hour[00:00:57]
To sum your whole life up[00:00:58]
Would you spend that hour sayin[00:00:59]
That an hour ain't enough[00:01:01]
I've mistaken the shield[00:01:02]
That bound me a cowardess[00:01:03]
Now I'm faithful to the wind[00:01:04]
But compared to it I'm powerless[00:01:06]
The first step was made[00:01:08]
And it was a fair accomplishment[00:01:09]
The pond was sittin still[00:01:10]
So I threw a rock in it[00:01:11]
And as my reflection rippled[00:01:13]
It all became clear[00:01:14]
The seasons always change[00:01:15]
So there's no reason for fear[00:01:16]
We made an autobiography[00:01:18]
Of our pivotal years[00:01:19]
It's all I got and[00:01:20]
I'm giving it you[00:01:21]
Because I care[00:01:22]
A lot of the time humans[00:01:23]
Are hard to stay susistent[00:01:25]
Self-projecting state of falsehood[00:01:26]
Were either too close to our image[00:01:28]
To stay objective in our conception [00:01:30]
Or too far away to be[00:01:32]
Subjective in any matter[00:01:33]
This only widens our void[00:01:34]
In social conformity[00:01:36]
Introduced to our souls[00:01:36]
At birth and so I write [00:01:38]
I don't write without[00:01:43]
The intention of objectivity[00:01:44]
Or attention in the image[00:01:46]
But only as an unright directional bridge[00:01:47]
Between the several[00:01:49]
Flowing tunes scripture[00:01:50]
Reality is present in countless space and time[00:01:51]
See I don't write for the future [00:01:55]
I write about the future[00:01:57]
For the present[00:01:58]
I write with my past[00:01:59]
About the future[00:02:01]
For the present [00:02:02]
On this I stand[00:02:04]
The oasis of the limbo[00:02:05]
Adjacent to my generation[00:02:06]
Facing out the window[00:02:08]
Waiting for some ventilation[00:02:09]
Patient while the wind blows[00:02:10]
Faceful in its demonstration[00:02:12]
Overall innovation [00:02:13]
On this I stand[00:02:15]
A fountain of youth sovereignty[00:02:16]
Found in syllables more than[00:02:18]
A pound of flesh[00:02:19]
Deep breath of achievement[00:02:20]
A dream and a wake up call[00:02:21]
Another haul of the quest [00:02:23]
On this I stand[00:02:25]
Another loved civilization [00:02:26]
On this I stand[00:02:27]
The purity of creation [00:02:29]
On this I stand[00:02:30]
A paradigm for self [00:02:31]
On this I stand[00:02:33]
I thank you for your help [00:02:34]
On this I stand[00:02:35]
My first born child [00:02:36]
On this I stand[00:02:38]
Something for now [00:02:39]
On this I stand[00:02:40]
Life love death and hate [00:02:42]
On this I stand[00:02:43]
And helmwood[00:02:44]
Glad you could relate[00:02:45]
Peace[00:02:47]
