Lyrics=
They always tell me this, sometimes they tell me that
and when I go to check, I find that’s never where it’s at
Maybe they think I’ll never look and just believe the lies
I’ve never been too comfortable when life is in disguise
It isn’t what they say it is. I know this cause I check
My mind has not been shaped by some benign neglect
I see the wide stupidity and ignorance that feeds
wherever people follow, what leads because it bleeds
I’m not compelled by dirty looks
It cannot snag me with its hooks
It never was... will never be
The shit that they present to me.
They spread it thick without a care,
to make me think it’s really there.
I’ve been around enough to know,
that lying does not make it so
A time ago, lifetimes away, I’ve seen other worlds in play,
proving that our life’s not based on things that people say.
I’ve seen behind the veils where the timeless dancer turns
like honey pouring into where the timeless fires burn
Soon the oceans take the coasts, and islands in the sea
will rise to give a staging ground for a new humanity
Old things will, to their compost go, to feed the coming age
Oh! What wonders we shall see, at the turning of the page
I’m not compelled by dirty looks
It cannot snag me with its hooks
It never was... will never be
The shit that they present to me.
They spread it thick without a care,
to make me think it’s really there.
I’ve been around enough to know
that lying does not make it so
The passing dreams and passing times of all that used to be,
will... sooner than you think... not even be a memory
Greener greens and bluer blues will shimmer in the sun,
and all across this spinning earth, God’s will shall be done
So many hearts have suffered to be broken on that wheel,
that turned in darker waters once, but none of it was real
We have been trapped in ancient debts, created long ago,
and why this was, I cannot say, and that is all I know
I’m not compelled by dirty looks
It cannot snag me with its hooks
It never was... will never be
The shit that they present to me.
They spread it thick without a care,
to make me think it’s really there.
I’ve been around enough to know
that lying does not make it so
Some will be lost yet for a time
before this comes to be
but... come it will, I’m certain
so... why not wait and see?
Why don’t you wait and see?
Please... humor me...
Why don’t you wait and see?
Why don’t you wait and see?
