lyrics

I was afraid of the dark before I stepped into the light
And I was a slave to the barking it got me wound up so tight
And I could always hear it deep in the back of my mind
Then came a flame from a spark that, illuminated so bright
I could hear them call my name
I could hear it clear as day
It might have always been the same
I opened up my eyes and realised I was playing a game
Now

I'm always trying to keep my mind open wide
I'm always analysing things that I find
I'm always thinking about my feelings inside
No matter if I hurt my pride
Cos I'm searching for light

I'm always open to your vision or sight
I'm always doing not saying I might
I'm always trying to keep the peace, that's right
But if you want to fight
Then I can be that type

So here I go again I'm visible
I'm always literal unless I'm super cynical
But I'm satirical cos that's the way my brain can digest
A super critical thought to sync my mind with my chest

Yes
The best is yet to come
My quest is never won
So open up the gates and let the flood come
It's gonna wash you away
But you can dry in the sun
So let the light illuminate upon your questions

Cos I got nothing to loose
I open up my heart and I channel my muse
This is the path that I choose
Getting closer to the answer cos I'm finding the clues
I got my ego wrapped up in a noose
I found him in the corner all sad and confused
I'm never acting obtuse
The irony I see will always keep me amused

I take ahold of your mind and then I clear it
You used to feel the demons but now you see the spirit
I'm opening up your heart so come and get near it
There's no need to run away there's no need to fear it

I know that you can hear it cos it's loud and clear
So let me separate the frequencies inside of your ear
Every thought has got an energy I know that you be feeling
So hear this is how I give my life a meaning

I'm flexible
Always eat my vegetables
Trying to be respectable
Always acting sensible
My wifey got me sexual
Her food is so delectable
My touch is always sensual
My fist is always clenchable
So catch me at a festival
Do you see my legible list
Can you conceive why my soul is in bliss
If you wanna walk away then I can blow you a kiss
See I will never loose control of my clenchable fist

I was afraid of the dark before I stepped into the light
And I was a slave to the barking it got me wound up so tight
And I could always hear it deep in the back of my mind
Then came a flame from a spark that, illuminated so bright
I could hear them call my name
I could hear it clear as day
It might have always been the same
I opened up my eyes and realised I was playing a game
Now
