Beginnings
Where the lightning strikes,
now you gotta go.
Whether standalone, or seeking shelter from the storm,
it's on going.
Neverending, that is.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Plenty mistakes, yeah.
Praise to my creators.
Day and night, regardless.
Puffing my chest out,
announcing I am god
ain't got the same shine
without doing the work.
Providing the mind with love, trust and respect.
Yes, yes.
You know it better than I do.
Lights, camera, action; my fabric is see through.
Plenty salivating, but reflection can free you.
All these memories,
I whisper "love" and she knows who...
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Umm...
My understanding is past, present, future
but redemption, the jury.
As you live your life in judgement,
that's the sentence you carry.
They saying all this magic
that they know that you have
figments of imagination stuck in a bag.
But lately, they've been challenged
with the truth that you see.
So many more live they own life
and they free.
Plenty holding they scars
and they stories to share.
So cherish how you living, cuz this moment is
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Lovingly designed by those of us
who start at the beginning.
Delicious sonic textures, lyrics channeling an unusual devotion to daily life and a voice who's owner (some say) drinks too much coffee. Slightly better than cigarettes, I suppose.
