Lost Planet

There has been a new forensic find
It was unearthed on the other side of my mind
Hidden away throughout all of my time
No parallels thus no lines
The darkness was vast, its terrain never before traversed
Each step taken was new, there wasn't time for this dance to be rehearsed
A purse was paid
A song was played
There were new memories to be made
But they were all to be made after this find...

I walk alone, I'm looking at you and I tell you that I truly walk alone
The thoughts in my dome, they are mine
The dreams and wishes that I have, these cannot be defined
So you see I myself have been confined
I've been confined to this time, this place, these eyes, this face
The clock on the wall it tick, tocks, tick, tocks

You see today there has been a new forensic find
This find has lead researchers to the back of my mind
The back of my mind is where they find that time has stood still forever
The dinosaurs and early man still roam
The Indian and immigrants both have homes

In the back of my dome they find riches unknown to the everyday man or woMan
It's more like WHOA, man

So now I try to WHOA, men and women alike
So now I try to feed the world the biggest slice of life
I light my thoughts on fire so others can see my light
I'm burning
I'm burning with the desire to take over this place
I'm burning with the desire that soon people will recognize this face
This face of change and want
I want to change, I want others to want
Want to be the best at whatever it is someone is telling you, you can't have, you can't do
I want to tell others simply this
"I'll do me and I'll let you simply do you"

Today there was a new forensic find
Today there was a key found which opened my mind

The looks of black faces, running races so they can finish
One, two, and three
The looks of hope which were once hung on a tree
Before there was thought of you and before there was thought of me

A great man once told me to pray and push
So tonight I pray for no more teachers no more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Tonight I pray for peace
Tonight I pray that my soul will slay the beast which lays wait on the darkest part of my mind
Tonight I pray that I will push on
Tonight I pray that I will hold on
A new song
I sing

Tonight I pray that silence will silence this thing
This new found find, which sits on the other side of my mind
Quietly waiting for its discover, recovery....
