The Path to Wisdom - Alistair Kerley & Frankie Harper

Twist the fingers, crush the bone Do what you must to leave me dethroned I beg to see what you claim to see We are the same energy, but in two different realities I am human, I'm alive Where I've grown, what I've learned, falsehood fortified I was human, so alive Abandoned my own kind, simple minds is where Abaddon thrives The joke's on you I have nothing to prove Find me where none choose to view Forsaken wisdom hidden within angelic tombs Where even microscopic cease in growth Ancient knowledge etched in tomes Before you judge the being you see Remember your words only fuel the hate Children of tragedy, life built upon savagery Misunderstood books, power over wisdom, they've poisoned the roots Feel me, before you wish me doom I too ate the lies fed from the mother's womb Don't see me for the things I've done Witness me for what I've become Witness me You will witness me Before you judge the being you see Remember your words only fuel the hate Children of tragedy, life built upon savagery Misunderstood books, power over wisdom, they've poisoned the roots Feel me, before you wish me doom I too ate the lies fed from the mother's womb Don't see me for the things I've done Witness me for what I've become Witness me for what I've become Witness me Witness me Witness me Witness me

Life brings nothing for the same Keep searching new days on the horizon While time just seems to slip away I'm leaving no trace along the way Seems like I'm falling deeper Deeper inside myself Feels like I'm growing weaker Much weaker each day Along the path to decay The lights are fading day by day No cure for the lost, there's no ascending When life could not become more pale A new dawn is here, another day Seems like I'm falling deeper Deeper inside myself Feels like I'm growing weaker Much weaker each day Along the path to decay Darkness within us all We're feeble and stand to fall The daylight has long since gone But a new dawn has yet to come Seems like I'm falling deeper Deeper inside myself Feels like I'm growing weaker Much weaker each day Along the path to decay

What I've got I don't want All it does is hover and taunt Reminding me what I used to be What I may never be again Turns out what I'm good at doin Is making something out of the ruin Borrow this wasted space that could never be replaced Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. If my wheels were square, but the earth was jagged I rode along, it'd be no less ragged And seems to be the day I'm usually this way Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. I wish every harder day only took an hour And I'm not just like the people I resent I wish someday I could truly be a power Say exactly what it is I meant All I have that's in abundance Is my perpetual redundance It's hard for me to say, I face it everyday Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal.
