The Enlightened One

You spend your life waiting around,
Then the enlightened one just
Let you down.
You see the lies spewing from his eyes,
The words would stretch across the skies.
You packed your bags moved somewhere else.
No thieves, no lies, your life's a cell.
Relate this tale it's not so bad...
It's better than the one you had, no?
Some say there's a book that's predicting the end.
Along side all the others lining up to attend.
But outside there's a race that includes everyone,
Against time and the crime is that nobody sees
With the tires and the fires burning so close to me.
You tore down buildings just cause you could,
'cause you're not thinking when and if you should.
Those people's lives you can't replace,
Those memories you can't displace.
Somewhere there's a man pulling strings with his teeth,
Unaware that's there's rats chewing through underneath.
But outside there's a race that includes everyone,
Against time and the crime is that nobody sees
With the tires and the fires burning so close to me.
Somewhere there's an axe that's just waiting to fall
And there's us unaware that we're ending it all.
But outside there's a race that includes everyone,
Against time and the crime is that nobody sees
With the tires and the fires burning so close to me.
Save this world it's not too late.
Ignore the written expiration date.
