The Verbal Surgeon - Paths lyrics

In all honesty this music is all I've got So I'm making more moves than the ticking hand on a wrist watch Everybody stop listen and an*lyze My purest thoughts presented to you by the young but wise A different type of guy I'm unique in character You can't be yourself so in your life you're facing barriers It's your internal conflicts that will bury ya I keep my mind clear cause it's the mind in life that carries ya Now that that's been said a few chapters we'll skip ahead There's much to gain and much to lose in the struggle of getting bread I've come a long way at the end of a long day I think of all the times when I couldn't find the words to say What was needed to be said to set the record straight I'll never bite my tongues again that statement carries extra weight And my word is truth I have no reason to lie From the cradle to the grave you have my word until I die New paths only lead to brighter horizons If it shines bright at the top then I'm climbing Until I'm washed out and over exposed by the light I'm getting closer so I must be doing something right I stay awake at night alone thinking to myself Will I make it on my own or acquire help No matter what against the rain I stand The worlds an hour gla** and in it we're just grains of sand It's the long climb to the top but everybody tries to reach At the summit you never know what's there that's why we seek My thoughts are original I don't hear what you preach A black sheep separate from the heard I'm above the weak I walk my own path it took me a while to find it And like my past my old path has been put behind me I've weeded out the individuals who used to bring me down And those who bring trouble whenever they're around My feet are firmly on the ground some say I'm planted I'm growing everyday that pa**es in this spinning planet A lot of things happen in life without understanding You don't always deal back the cards that you've been handed Somebody tell me where I'm going I roam without a destination If it feels right its a part of the operation And my word is truth I have no reason to lie From the cradle to the grave you have my word until I die
