Masochistic Perceptions, Trials and Truths

These are my cyberfied cerebral synapses ricocheting off reality as I perceive it: thoughts, opinions, passions, rants, art and poetry...

When Is It Time?

Falling out of time again
from the point where we needed to be
searching soul, for a way,
leads back only to where we've been
this world seems so sublime
as we fall down over and over again
when is it time?

If you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn to believe
determine your needs now from your wants
and wear this mask - at all times
if you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn believe
and accept your lot in which you're caught
false faith is what you've got...or not

I can't tell what this life should be
comedy or tragedy?
we have a need to find a way
to that point where we're all being forced to see
and if this life lets us down
know we had a hand in it's script
hero or the clown?
to trip or to rip?

If you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn to believe
determine your needs now from your wants
and wear this mask - at all times
if you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn believe
and accept your lot in which you're caught
false faith is what you've got, it's what you sought

Shakespeare said the world's a stage
but never gave a map to the trap doors
the things that we threw away
the things we made ourselves ignore
and when this mirror makes us cry
over and over again
when is it time?

If you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn to believe
determine your needs now from your wants
and wear this mask - at all times
if you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn believe
and accept your lot in which you're caught
false faith is what you've got, on ourselves it was brought
If you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn to believe
determine your needs now from your wants
and wear this mask - at all times
if you can't lie now to yourself
you'd better learn believe
and accept your lot in which you're caught
false faith is what you've got, or it's all for naught
