Something Wicked This Way Comes - Woods of Birnam

Remember back in the time When the only sign we had was pickets But now in '94, it be this way, somethin' come wicked G-angs killin' others for colors Thangs that we wear for fashion Other brothers take it for a reason to be blastin' What the kcuf is goin' on Not soft like buttercups but had enough of singin' that same song See, I stayed across the street from the projects Took out yo' momma trash and groceries to her trunk To keep my pockets fat, like cellulite Only been to jail one week for some shull-bit And I pray to God I won't repeat I shoulda pulled it when I had the chance to No, I shouldn't a did that, 'cause if I did that Y'all would not hear that phat shit That keeps you on your tippy-tippy-toes Like that sellout, not callin' no names But really, "who's bad" I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms You can't forget where you come from Take a good look in the mirror And tell me, do you like what you see Masters of deception, corruption and evil But you're always quick to point the finger at me Won't somebody tell me I just don't understand The ways of the world today Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for So I'm longing for the days of yesterday What gave you the right to misjudge me And write me off on the wall Acting as if you understand me In reality, you just don't know me at all Sometimes I can't help but wonder If this was how it's meant to be But if you search deep enough in your soul You'll always find a slight reminder of me Won't somebody tell me I just don't understand The ways of the world today Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for So I'm longing for the days of yesterday A-yo, if we could all agree To lettin' our souls become free Of that sweet bitterness Then who's chest would have the most seeds I keep misfocusin' my needs And distress on my back with them cats They be blastin' into my knapsack Ain't no accidental deathtraps My mishap is the fact that I'm destined to snap It's when I feel as though my body's able to go My mind is ready to flow Did you know first you catch and then I throw It's my own sense of time If I'm late, it's 'cause I'm endin' my day Just when the sun shines And still gently advising the arisin' of the moon As it rolls around into my soundproof dimension I just don't understand The ways of the world today Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for So I'm longing for the days of yesterday I just don't understand The ways of the world today Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

Here comes the circus now to steal your life away Catch unwary children at their play Disturb what was a peaceful island of calm A storm is coming on the horizon The traveller begs for you his words to heed To fear the evil thing that he proceeds Recruiting evil in the autumn times of sin A mad collection of broken men Thunder ripping out across the sky Draw the lighning out of my mind By the prickling of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes The house of mirrors is your place of play Ten thousand faces driving you insane A carnival of hate crawling through your mind A gripping fear that leaves you paralyzed Thunder ripping out across the sky Draw the lighning out of my mind By the prickling of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes

Solitary dancing Leaving where the heart was Leaving like a lover In the dark Living with the weight of the world Looking for a landing Longing to be homeward Longing for a mother In the dark Hoping there's a way in the world Homeless Homeless Homeless Homeless And I keep solo dancing With a hold on the cold alone A multitude of color Shimmers on the ocean Ripples of a notion In the dark Figures in the waves of the world Homeless Homeless Homeless Homeless In the tides ever dancing With a hold on the cold alone Keep on dancing Keep on dancing Keep on dancing Keep on dancing Keep on dancing Keep on dancing With a hold on the cold alone With a hold on the cold alone

Closer Dramatic score and a mother Who could not stay with the other Refugees in this hell Later Showing no mercy We capture An angry mob with a liar Who couldn't pretend anymore Come closer Please close my eyes and stay So close to me your island will be lost and found again Closer She took my heart and she left her Confusion here instead Like stale air in my head Come closer Please close my eyes and stay So close to me Your island will be lost and found again Again Closer Our eyes dried out and I told her "I came, I saw, I conquered" Just trying to make it work Come closer Come closer Come closer Please close my eyes and stay So close to me Your island will be lost and found again Come closer now This close to me My heart
