See Ya There...by Andrew Bertrand
There’s a song in my head
Can’t you hear the music?
Maybe I should learn to play it
Before I try to use it
I should figure out my rhythm
Before I find my rhyme
I should put aside my writing
Until I learn to count time
So don’t count on the system
But count on predictability
If you’re countin’ on your talent
Then place a bet on creativity
Be as dull as you can
To shine brighter than the sun
Strive to be a zero
And you’ll end up as number one
So what’s the point of winning
When you don’t want the prize
Becoming the leader
In a world you despise
The mother of creation
Wed the father of time
I’ll turn to Darwin
To figure out who’s next in line
So who’s up next
Who’s in this queue to die
Your bound to burn
Cuz no one forced you to lie
What makes a fact
What is the truth anyway
Nothin’ more than what
You convince the popular to say
Now let’s have a contest
Just to see who wins
And on the way to the finish
Find out where it all begins
Find out that it started
With a big cosmic bang
Put a hand up to God
And he left me to hang
You can sing your hymns
And recite you psalms
But leave me
To write my Atheist songs
I believe in myself
And put faith in science
I do it cuz I have to
Not out of defiance
Show your face
Before you lead your heard
Unless you can do that
Your name is just a word
And your word is worthless
Transplant the lost
And redirect the lost
Now I’ve lost my marbles
So I could hold onto my scruples
Just another loon
Hopin’ to enlighten my pupils
Turnin’ on my light
To help myself see
The path of the righteous
And the way of the free
So that one day
I might see my goal
And find the one
That can make me whole
Find the substance
To plug my heart
Because to find the finish
I must find my start
And upon leaving the start
I’ll stumble upon my purpose
To fight against the tyranny
Of those that try to hurt us
Their assult is staged
With stabs and swings
Weapons more deadly
That knives and slings
They destroy our freewill
And crush our voice
Leaving us as drones
Unaware we have a choice
We have to choose our own path
Because our fate is our own
Live your life to the fullest
Because your time is on loan
Before you know it
You’ll run out of existence
And death looms near
With the greatest persistence
It’s time to light your fire
With you life’s spark
Find a way to be remembered
And leave a lasting mark
For your legacy is yours
It’s your one true possession
Your legacy’s perfection
Should be your one obsession
Nit-pick the details
And do sweat the small stuff
No matter how much you try
It will never be enough
Never be happy
Simply being content
You’ll never make enough
To pay life’s last-month’s rent
Eviction is imminent
Soon you’ll be booted out
No one lives forever
That I say without a doubt
And in a world where
Doubt is the only thing that scares me
I’m still willing to live on
In order to find out what I’ll see
See ya there… |
