Think Of What You See

from Brane World Scenario by Abstract Verses

lyrics

I’m in the school of duals and distractions
Fools and fractions make up a spool of passion
Backspin what happened
And you will find this life is cooler in action
Rather than removed in rations
Move all your cash and
Do your deeds, who do you need
Give into greed and who will you feed
Two into three, abandon the seed
Live in the now, the future is lost
The present is perfect because you are your boss, what’ll it cost?
All at the expense of legacy
Forgetting your enemies
Setting your entity
Setting the centerpiece
You’re getting ahead of me
I haven’t even gotten to the thick of what is meant to be
If you don’t want to compete then that is your choice
But don’t be offended tomorrow if you haven’t a voice
Could never have too much of this stuff, I’m telling you now
Too much is a bluff, and enough will never be enough

Look at where you’ve been and think of what you see
Who will know where you'll be in 2033

No, you’ve got it mixed, think of the kids
What’re you after? What’s the matter?
It doesn’t matter whether you hunt or you gather
It’s better to love, better to capture
All of the subtleties, all of the summaries
Remember the summer breeze
Remember the birthdays
Remember the first days
And all of these other things
Look at the sheep, you’re better than them
You always have been because
Even when adrenaline wins
You’ll usually remember it when it was genuine then
Let it begin and then you’ll be getting it in
This life is worth the living even if the circle’s spinning doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work within them
There’s perks of winning but I am more driven and conditioned
To be concerned with finding something different than back when I was beginning
Saving my cash, saving my ass
Making a pass but that’s only my opinion

Look at where you’ve been and think of what you see
Who will know where you’ll be in 2033
Look at where you’ve been and think of what you see
Who will know where you will be when you turn to history

Well I’ve got love for my family, yeah this one’s for my mom and dad
Brother and sister, and all I’ve had
In this world I was given not too long ago
I found love in my purpose as a part of the flow
And now I’m checking where I’m headed ‘cause I want to know
Can’t forget just where I’ve been because I want to grow
All I know, all I know, all I know
‘cause all I know, all I know
is that the people who I share a name with
They come before this world with the scary faces
This life ain’t sweet as I was told, I can barely taste it
But it’s got some kicking once you’ve bit into the layers of cake mix
I got love for the people who endure the mishaps
Love for the people who support the hip tracks
Love for the people who embrace the subtleties
And love for the people who found love in me, yeah
