Fire ,ashes to spirit ( Not the same )
Fire, ashes to spirit ( I'm not the same )
Sitting here in my home beyond midnight
Here I write
It's a different kind of feeling, I'm not even thinking
About my plight
Not thinking about my lows not even thinking about my heights
Not thinking about longing
Not even my spiritual fights
Here I am once again in the devoid of light
Feeling a different feeling
In the wake of healing
Writing from pain is no longer appealing
Who wants to keep looking in the same mirror?
I substitute dwelling with more praise and kneeling
Dealing with things a little different these days
It's like those places of comfort I can either leave or stay
My pen has gone astray, nomadic like a gypsy
You can send out the search party, but don't come and get me
I might come back, or you can just forget me
Let me go on to my next phase
Maybe my fire has lost it's blaze
Life has me in a sort of numbing kind of daze
Like I bathed in Novocain
Blank has been my brain
Since I rose above the clouds I haven't been the same
Since the plane left the ground I haven't been the same
Since left my town I haven't been the same
Peace in the atmosphere I have found, I haven't been the same
See when I was was closer to heaven
No longer in my view was hell
First time at flight
Now my life is propelled
To break the shell of my physical body, I had to leave this ground
To excel in my spirit man, I had to leave this ground
When I fell HE really didn't want too many around
I had to stop holding my breath and drown
New things will abound when my yesterday
Stop sleeping with my present
I would be a liar if I didn't say didn't miss
Your presence
How quickly the summer of 07
Turns into the summer of 08
This time last year things seemed so straight
Had plenty on my plate, but hunger was near...
Never would have thought we would be here
In a year
Remember about this time being excited about Transformers
Wow seem like that was just around the corner
A mourner embraces the morning
It gives you a new slate
Until you can smell the roses you can't really
Know the taste
I wait for my Eve, or has she already arrived?
Just have to know for us to live
You all have to die
Spread your ashes in the sea
Just get on with me
The storm has brought the floods
Now it's calm with me
Have to move to a higher ground
Leave this Bayou living
Headed for the cascades
I'll take the sky of blue when it's given
My writing has been stalled
But I am still so driven
Got to drive with no rear view
Clean my windows so I can have a clear view
Of uncharted terrain
Can't take roads that are the same
Time for a new plane
Whether I document this journey
Or still keep it locked and concealed
Some things will stay in the vault
Some things will be revealed
This skyscraper I build on a foundation of steel
Stratospheres I'll reach ya and breach ya
Fire, to ashes to spirit
I am a new creature.
I'm not the same.
