Where the Lines Are Drawn - A War Within

So what are you going to do when the guns are drawn? Yeah it would be cool it could be too Stop running round in circles off of what we fuel Living a lie eventually believing it's true A lot of people here are frauds one could be you It's outrageous and they just ain't nothing But save us an ocean of brown fists in various flavors A favor for a favor man, this is the majors Tell me what you would do with no phone or pagers No Kinko's, no Fed Ex and no ATM's What you gone do when the police state begin Well it already began but I guess it depends On what's really going on what's happening, huh Military target practicing They finna write another Patriot Act again The days is short the nights is long the fight goes on The pistol and the pipes are drawn The middle of the night, we fight like Barbarians in sight of the former might You might think that it's a waste of our time And I think you would be right till he drop that rhyme The middle of the night, we fight like Barbarians in sight of the former might You might think that it's a waste of our time And I think you would be right till he drop that rhyme And some might say that it's a waste of time Cause ain't no amount of dancing finna break the bondage We go to war and transcend space and time When every record ain't a record just to shake behinds You know the stakes is high we in the face of drama That's why we can't shake it or escape the problem Its like a game of roulette the barrel revolving They only wanna see us occupying a coffin Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving From trying to get over, get under, get even Get inside getting, getting dumped, getting greedy We got to get it right it ain't about to be easy You better pull you goggles up, it's about to get greasy Believe it's on as long as we can still speak freely Pages of my life would make it hard to read me I know my people hearing me, holler if y'all need me The middle of the night, we fight like Barbarians in sight of the former might You might think that it's a waste of our time And I think you would be right till he drop that rhyme The middle of the night, we fight like Barbarians in sight of the former might You might think that it's a waste of our time And I think you would be right till he drop that rhyme

Give me attention I need it now Too much distance To measure it out, out loud Tracing patterns across a personal map And making pictures where the lines overlap Where the lines overlap No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh, we already won No, no, no one is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Call me over And tell me how Well, you got so far Never making a single sound I'm not used to it But I can learn There's nothing to it I've never been happier Never been happier No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh, we already won No, no, no one is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough You would sing it back to me I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough You would sing it back to me I've got a feeling I've got a feeling That you would sing it back to me That you would sing it back to me No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh, we already won Oh, no, no one is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us

Let's all fall to silence, Let's not shed another tear This world hungers for no one... I see you try You don't always say what's on your mind Your face hides a mystery and I wonder where you are If you could only share Sometimes words do not make sense and they linger on and on As you stare into the distance "I watch you standing there... I watch you standing there" And I wonder where you are, is it me you're looking for? Baby, baby, you hurt me more and more As your silence grows deeper I have nowhere to hide now that the Sun has lost it's sight But it's you who calls my name, and I am born into this world... again And I wonder where you are, is it me you're looking for? Baby, baby, you hurt me more and more... as your silence grows deeper I watch the years pass me by and all the colours have turned to dust Yet you stand beside me now watching me... watching you And I wonder where we are, have you found us along the way? Cause baby, baby you hold me so close but in your silence you turn away I have nowhere to hide now that the Sun has lost it's sight But it's you who calls my name, and I am born into this world... again

Every official that comes in Cripples us leaves us maimed Silent and tamed And with our flesh and bones, he builds his homes Southern fist, rise through the jungle mist Clenched to smash power so cancerous A black flag and a red star A rising sun, loomin' over Los Angeles Yes, for Raza livin' in La La Like Gaza on to the dawn of Intifada Reach for the lessons the masked pass on And seize the metropolis, it's you that it's built on Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day And everything changed on a new years day, c'mon! War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land... Their existence is a crime Their seat, their robe, their tie Their land deeds, their hired guns They're the crime Shots heard underground round the rapture World's eye captured at last in a Mexican pasture Masked screaming land or death Within a breath, a war from the depth of time Shot four puppet governors in a line Shook all the world bankers who think they can rhyme Shot the landlords who knew it was mine Yes, it's a war from the depth of time Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day And everything changed on a new years day, c'mon! Ugh, hear the masked scream War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death It's land or death Yeaaah! Ugh! C'mon! C'mon! Yes! Yes! Yes! War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death War within a breath It's land or death

Is there a place deep within? A place where you hide your darkest sins There's a strange kind of ambiance it's surrounding you As a songstress you lure me towards the truth Candles die down as you leave the room In my heart you feel no gloom As you lure me I know the truth You're a leprechaun, I see you through Is there a place deep within? A place where you hide your darkest sins There's a strange kind of ambiance it's surrounding you As a songstress you lure me towards the truth

Cry without tears See without sight Night without day And every day's black as the night Fly without wings Feel without touch Touch without feel And everywhere nothing is real I wanna see from within I wanna be where I've been I want a truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore die Life without death World without end Sleep without dreams And nothing is quite what it seems I want something More than you'll know Follow myself And go where you can never go And I see though my eyes are closed I wanna see from within I wanna be where I've been I want the truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore I die Inside you without your blessing Inside me is me confessing Outside you is outside me And inside there is no guarantee, no I wanna see from within I wanna be where I've been I want a truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore I die See from within I wanna be where I've been I want a truth, not a lie I wanna live 'fore I die (And go where you can never go) Cry without tears Night without day
