Original Lyrics Poem - Break

Break

I am building the ground that I walk on one scoop of dirt at a time,   

One boulder at a time, 

I'll lay it out in front of me and pave it with my mind, 

I'll jack hammer the bullies and lay signs for the dead,

I'm building a gateway inside of my head. 

I have forever questions, I have eternal glow, 

I feel forever alive separated from the know. 

In the beggin, 

in the cryin' and the pleadin' 

in the heartbreak,

 in the dyin' and the feedin' 

I'm believin'

desperation, breathin, sweatin' givin' 

crawling through the dirt, climbing up a mountain, 

falling off a cliff, drowning in the ocean,

Break---

She's silent, i'm silent, 

we whisper messages mentally, who are we?

I build my own roads, I make my own hills, I create my own mountains,

I struggle, and Break....

I'm taking a look back from the moment of my birth, 

what I know for what I have unearthed,

people taught me motion, powered by my feet, 

people taught me laws and I was settled with defeat, 

stuck the cog inside the machine, 

glowing lovely human being

stuck inside my mind a seed, 

growing, hungry human being.

Feed me conscious, feed me power,

feed me with your grapes all sour,

I am building my bridges, I am building the air,

I am building my thoughts in a belly of flair,

SHOCK light in my system I see this in color, 

Push cool in my lungs I'll feel it with lovers

manifestation, displacement, uncurdled and humbling patience, 

sifting through the sand, pulling out the objects

defining all the objects, sharing all the objects,

creating all new objects based on they're belief in my conviction.  

On your conviction..

BREAK--

we are silent, its silent,

we are broken and voilent

I build my own roads, I make my own hills, I create my own mountains,

I struggle, and Break....

I struggle and break and then I remake, all of these pieces are totally fake, 

you see, you define, you listen, you decide, 

I see, I define, I listen, I decide..

I am living, I'm awake,

I will struggle, and I will break,

I will hold solid and I will take, 

I will soften, then I will break.

Swing seed in soil, from sound that's spoken,

create to break and never be broken.
