An Element of Surprise
09.08.2010

(Fear)
As we walk into / dark and lonely places
We’re not sure of the dangers that lurk / or if the sky will open up
We try / and yet we hide / within our fears of what will not / or just might…
Become a part of / what you’ve planned / because you never really had a hand

(Mind)
With over a million thoughts passing through my mind / is there a way to slow it down?
Fighting through the pain / as a means to an end
Not knowing that / there is no end and no beginning…

And that’s indeed when you realize that everything has ‘An Element of Surprise’

(Maya)
What I see out there / seems like a picture I’d like to keep
Just images of fallen heroes / or wasted lights on something dark
Turning your illusion into something you feel / or just something real
But what is real you cannot feel / and that is a truth you’ll never learn

And that’s indeed when you realize that everything has ‘An Element of Surprise’

(Anger)
What a case for your head to burn / and your nerves to flake
Can’t your eyes look any better / than they do?
Cos while they’re on fire / all I see is the pain / or the hurt
And that’s nobody’s gain…

(Money)
Is there enough / of the marigold cos it wouldn’t seem like
There’s a chance to get your hands / on a lot more
No matter what you do / the more you want of it
The more you lack of it / the more you ask of it

And that’s indeed when you realize that everything has ‘An Element of Surprise’

(Reality)
It is written that there’s a time for everything but no real time to breathe
Cos if you’d stop, it wouldn’t really matter anymore…
For what must start with one must end with just another
And all that happens in between is a dream between truth and desire

(Surprise)
And if you live your life / with expectations
You’d realize it’s always / one step away unless…
You find a guiding a light / to bring you back to where it is / and that is now…that is NOW…
