Any Given Sunday - Sandpeople

If you could see from the perspective in my eyes, you know

I could see by your expression that the message was denied

And it won’t, seem to ever let us compromise

So breathless I define what I was never meant to know

I know, this is an unprecedented time, the treacherous divide

From the precious and divine

Stay with me for a second and I’ll try

Explaining sentences I rhyme with the side I’ve never shown

I know a lot of people that believe in god that are slowly veering

Toward a mind state where they don’t fully fear Him

I fear god and his glorious gold appearance

But I also believe that chi is the same thing as the holy spirit

I may wilt in the fire of free will

From my vices but there’s power bestowed

In being built in His likeness

I still get bent, reverting walk to crawl

Learning it’ll certainly take more than love to conquer all

To conquer all you must be invincible

By teaching the little boys and teaching the little girls

Plant that knowledge seed in the mineral dirt

The Bible wasn’t meant to be, only literal words

And if you get to know me you’ll find little that you like

Caught between the good and evil with the riddles that I write

My body, mind, and soul are just the minerals of light

To a combination making up the pixels in my life

So why am I confused with delusions of a love

When I’m incapable to feel the hearts I ruin when I touch

I’ve fallen from a god that doesn’t listen to my prayers

'Cause the cry for help is coming from a voice that isn’t there

We watch tragedies happen and ask why (ask why)

A reaction based on fear and desperation

No explanation is given

We ask why (ask why)

There’s little faith left within us

And that’s fine (that's fine)

We watch tragedies happen and ask why (ask why)

A reaction based on fear and desperation

No explanation is given

We ask why (ask why)

It might test your strength to the finish

But that’s life (that's life)

What if the first time I meet you it’s all judgment?

What if the first time you reached me I was on drugs?

What if I’m speaking for us all just looking deep into the fog

Still believing that there’s more than meets the eye

This idea of deities in the sky and demons underneath

Our feet is for peace of mind

Are we so blind we don’t understand that

Hell and paradise reside on the same planet

Whether the holy land is yours or the holy land’s mine

I don’t think it’s holy no more, it’s full of landmines

And you can’t find the truth in religion

But you can find God in yourself, see that’s true inner vision

See for me kneeling to pray in a church is no different

Than how I feel when I’m saying these words

Got traded in every day service for your weekly mass

Tell the priest peace and to keep his hands off of your seeds

I was raised at an early age to pray that the pearly gates

Would open their arms and enclose them around me

When I died there’d be heaven sent

Innocently entering the sanctity of worshiping the Almighty

It was easy enough I guess believing and trust

Were just two character traits I misplaced very young

Gave it my all and made it my calling

To be a servant of God and to help save the fallen

But time would tell that my mind had fell

As a result of the pitfalls of paradise

I live my life in strict accordance to rules

Men have decided that a god laid before us

I can’t buy divine intervention

Can’t decide between divided religions

I find only a few signs have been given

And if I can deny it

It ain’t undeniable, is it?

If you could see from the perspective in my eyes, you know

I can see by your expression that the message was denied

And it won’t seem to ever let us compromise

So breathless I define what I was never meant to know

I know this is an unprecedented time

The treacherous divide from the precious and divine

Stay with me for a second and I’ll try

Explaining sentences I rhyme with the side I’ve never shown
