Verse 1
twenty three years walking this path
trying find the way but keeps looking back
never realizing he wasn't even trapped
in the first place when he left that land
no better off now than when he met the sand
the sun shines down and burns this man
peeling from the heat man, forget getting a tan
but he can't his view has a slant
that's why he ran with no plan and he's standing stranded
wishing that he would've kept the life he was handed
reflecting now he sees he took it for granted
yet must keep scanning for the future landing
in the place that he dreams will have answers spanning
the width of his life questions chanting
where's a genie in a bottle with the wishes granting
there it is in that oasis as he falls down panting
Hook in Spanish (Traipse Resolute)
Yo veo el mundo tan poco profundo
Toda va sin rumbo asi que me pregunto
por que busco algo tan perdido como Cuzco
por que lucho aunque no termino con mucho
Rough English translation:
I see the world so shallow
Everything goes without a direction / so I ask myself
Why am I searching for something so lost as Cuzco
Why am I fighting even though I don't end up with much
Verse 2
Every book stacked high would pass the sky
knowledge we obtained till the day we die
when our brains will dry like it never even mattered
on those days you cried days you tried
to understand it all till your brains were fried
pain inside wonder why it even is
that we stay alive with this tainted vibe
to escape we try cause this place will lie
I look for another way a way to run away
far away to evade the way I'm living my days
to be brave forge force an escape
to be great more sources to take
what I need to believe like a drink from a lake
but I wait I'm behind the gate
the mass and the weight of knowledge obtained
answers even less left to strain
Verse 3
Beauty and misery
the future and history
truth and mystery
invade so blissfully
they ebb and flow so cyclically
they tread real slow but not visibly
we are blind to our minds own trickery
from a seed growing tall like a hickory
but one will not find it on an endless journey
it will not become apparent when your on that gurney
I could yell it out the loudest but I'd doubt you heard me
it the only thing in life that will stand so sturdy
try to balance there upon it flips you topsy turvey
no matter how pure it seems to some it's dirty
You can find it in an eon well, maybe thirty
so settle on down why this hurry?
