So many stand in front,
And scream to you,
Tell a million lies that,
Anyone can see through
They are always shouting,
For you to choose, choose, choose, choose,
While a billion people die,
From a lack of food
We are free to be alive!
But not free to be free!
And it's your own own best interests,
To hide your sexuality!
You can have to your own opinion,
But you are not heard if you disagree!
And we live inside a world,
Where only the blind can see!
How can we exist in this place,
Where love itself is denied?
It's time to break down the barricades,
Between us, that divide...!
It's time to elevate your!
Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
You should really try it my way,
It'll go much faster,
Sometimes the easy way,
Is really the answer!
It's time to let go of all the hatred,
And the stupid pride,
To break down the barricades,
And elevate your mind...
I despise most politicians,
Because they treat people like a game,
There's so much more to living,
Than personal fortune and fame
They are always shouting,
For you to choose, choose, choose, choose!
But their denial of life itself,
Will cause everyone to lose!
We are free to have our faith!
As long as we don't speak it aloud!
It's so hard to speak anyway,
When you always get drowned out by the crowd!
We are free to decide,
Only not for ourselves!
No wonder so many people,
Liken this world to a living hell!
We are left with a life,
In which so many find it hard to believe,
This is always what happens,
When fantasy replaces reality!
But...this can change...
Yes...I think it's time...
To elevate your!
Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
You should really try it my way,
It'll go much faster,
Sometimes the easy way,
Is really the answer!
It's time to let go of all the hatred,
And the stupid pride,
To break down the barricades,
And elevate your mind...
Break them down, break them down
(We're gonna)Break them down, break them down
Let the world tremble at the sound,
As we break them down, break them down
Break them down, break them down
(We're gonna)Break them down, break them down
Let the world tremble at the sound,
As we break them down! Break them down...!
We're breaking down the barricades!
No longer will we be enslaved!
To that lilly-white tower,
Of narrow minded ideals...!
(Break them down, break them down)
We're breaking down the barricades!
Everyone should live for change!
Learn to understand what is false,
And what is real...!
(We're gonna break them down, break them down)
We're breaking down the barricades!
We're breaking down the barricades!
We're breaking down the barricades!
And damn them, we will rise...!
By God, we will rise!
Now, elevate your!
Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
You should really try it my way,
I swear it'll go much faster,
Sometimes the easy way,
Is really the answer!
It's time to let go of all the hatred,
And the stupid pride!
To break down the barricades,
And elevate your mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Elevate your! Mind...!
Today could be the new day,
Yeah, I think it's time,
To let go of what you think you know,
To elevate your mind!(Break them down, break them down...)

Lose Yourself
What's the point in leaving footprints
if no one's going to follow them?
And what's the point in screaming
if no one's going to hear you?
And what's the point in crying
if no one's going to wipe away the tears?
What's the point
in getting lost
if no one's going to notice you're missing?
if no one's going to come looking for you?
if no one's going to care?
Footsteps.
Falling faster than your tears.
Pounding on the cement,
only sound louder is your heart.
Breath wheezing,
sense leaving,
panic creeping.
Do all these houses look the same,
or have I been

I Feel ?
This.
It will begin like light cascading through fleshy membranes. The sudden awareness of electromagnetic feeling that pulses through every nerve, and yes finally, today signifies the start of animation. Because yes, you can finally feel.
You are alive.
[Breathe] Inhale the tattered stars. Gasp as they tear open galaxies, destroying themselves and whatever is left of the O-zone layer. [Gulp. Gulp.] Choke down their destruction and remember, that those ever-so-distant wishes, they shredded the sky for you.
This.
It started for you.
Static climbing into my tissue, and it burns like white noise or bleach or fros

Haunted cries
I cry as I write this poem
I cry as I lift the blade from my wrist
I wish I never did exist
The pain is endless
It rushes through my body
And my heart aches
It increases second by second
It's dark, really dark in here
But the darkness doesn't scare me
What scares me is the light
The shouts, the screams, the cries are all I hear
They wont stop, They wont let me sleep
The memories
They haunt me and taunt me
I close my eyes and cover my ears
But what good would that do?
Nothing! Nothing at all.
I can still hear it and it's getting worse
I scream as loud as I can wishing it would stop
A tear rolls down my cheek,
I fall on my b

Full title: "Breaking Down the Barricades(Elevate Your Mind)"
This piece, wow, this piece has been with me for so long. It began life as two pieces in the spring of 2010, and I let them both sit in my mind and have free run of the place, just to see what would happen. In time, they began to flow together, they combined, but when I sat down a week ago to actually write this, all I actually had were the first part of the chorus, part of the bridge into the final chorus, and the general idea that I seriously wanted to slap the world like a two bit hooker. You may laugh.
However, I had exactly no idea how to START the piece.
And then it hit me that the biggest barricade between us all as people is a lie. Or lies. Millions of lies, that many accept as truth because they either don't know any better, or because they blindly trust those they should not.
They should be able to see through the lies, but they do not, and so the first words were written.
And then it became a flood, of words, of meaning, of intensity.
"Breaking Down the Barricades" is, I feel, me at my very best, it is a slap in the face, a call to action, and it flows absolutely perfectly, at least I feel that it does, but I wrote it, so I'm a bit biased in that area.
Rise, raise your voice, USE your mind and voice together, to break down the barricades that divide us all, the only way we will survive as a people is if we elevate our minds from what we're used to, and instead consider what, and who, we can become.
Elevate your mind, and
