Conflicts of the Mind (feat. Peter) - Ka-Flame

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence Fools, said I, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence

Da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da, da-da-da Da-da It's a complicated story That we never talk about But I see it in the mirrors In the curtains of our house I don't want you to be worried That we're running out of time It doesn't matter where we're going We can leave it all behind Only when I see you cry I feel conflicted in my mind It fills my heart up, and it breaks me at the very same time When you open up the gates for me And leave the world behind We find proof of love is hidden In the conflict of the mind I remember how I'd find you Fingers tearing through the ground Were you digging something up Or did you bury something down? In your soul, I found a thirst With only salt inside your cup In your eyes, I saw a longing While I longed to lift you up Only when I see you cry I feel conflicted in my mind It fills my heart up, and it breaks me at the very same time When you open up the gates for me And leave the world behind We find proof of love is hidden In the conflict of the mind (Da-da, da-da-da) (Da-da, da-da-da) (Da-da, da-da-da) (Da-da) Don't let your spirit die This is just a conflict of the mind Is your heart alive? You'll overcome a conflict of the mind Don't let your spirit die This is just a conflict of the mind Is your heart alive? You'll overcome a conflict of the mind Don't let your spirit die This is just a conflict of the mind Is your heart alive? You'll overcome a conflict of the mind Love is you Love, love, love, love is not gone, love Love is you Love, love, love, love is not gone, love Love is, love is, love Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love Love is you Love, love, love, love, love, love, love Love

Looking out the window I see the red dust clear High up on the red rock Stands the shadow with the spear The land here is strong Strong beneath my feet It feeds on the blood It feeds on the heat The rhythm is below me The rhythm of the heat The rhythm is around me The rhythm has control The rhythm is inside me The rhythm has my soul The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat Drawn across the plainland To the place that is higher Drawn into the circle That dances round the fire We spit into our hands And breathe across the palms Raising them up high Help open to the sun (Drawn across the plainland) (To the place that is higher) (Drawn into the circle) (That dances round the fire) (We spit into our hands) (And breathe across the palms) (Raising them up high) (Help open to the sun) Self-conscious, uncertain I'm showered with the dust The spirit enters into me And I submit to trust Smash the radio No outside voices here Smash the watch Cannot tear the day to shreds Smash the camera Cannot steal away the spirits The rhythm is around me The rhythm has control The rhythm is inside me The rhythm has my soul

In the big house Where the sun lives With the walls so white and blue In the red soil All the green grows And the winds blow across your face They blow across your heart It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside It's the time of turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes All the earth breaks Like a stale bread And the seeds are folded in the soil Oh the sun pours Then the rains fall While the roots reach out right through the ground They reach out through the ground It's the time of turning and there's something stirring outside It's the time of turning and the old world's falling Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging Time of the turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes If we can stand up When all else falls down We'll last through the winter We'll last through the storms We'll last through the north winds That bring down the ice and snow We'll last through the long nights Till the green field's growing again Growing again
