Not as great but just as good

When you conceive a train of thought

In vain you feel that you are wrought

But nothing comes from blinding light

When you are searching through the night

To find face that doesn't frown

When you seem to always drown

In a sea beyond the mind

Where if one ventures one might find

All there is to know and tell

Even if you soul would fell

The tallest tree unknown to man

the building of self still it stands

And visiting the darkest place

Where meaning always leaves a trace

You might not be able to erase

The understanding feeling and the face

Living without it

seems like a waste

Don't begin the end

To start the beginning

Dont believe the one who sends

A sort of silence so unseeming

Take a breath of golden smoke

Try to hold it not to choke

And when it fills you from within

You might tare the vale thin

And all the hush and all the din

Can break away from every hinge

And you can sail over the brim

Of the world that never sings

Something opens when you say

Everything you've locked away

In the corners of your head

Where nothings ever said

And i will never give in again

To being sunken

I must bend

The mask is broken

And i never will pretend

To know something i cant hear

To see nothing but the fear

To care for others is my goal

And myself forever in my soul

Playing all within my role

Of being healed free and whole

I want to be understood

Not as great but just as good

As a man who always stood

With the spirit of the woods

And shed the blood one always should

There is a time for contemplation

When everything becomes impression

And something stirs beneath permission

It is a way of being together

And alone inside forever

Out of the mess and the confusion,

of this world built on illusions
