woven insanity brings us together
mending the dreams once lost
reality a road traveled forever
forge a course forget the cost
in search of the holy ghost
i find myself digging deeper
an alien seed barren host
i’m not big brothers keeper
united by a spiritual force
for better or for worse
hints, lies, and allegations
the spoken word is dead
unholy ensemble of investigations
searching for the common thread
tangled in this self-denial
not everyone is a believer
mental insults with such revile
every faction has a deceiver
in life we feel so alone
i know there’s a better way
breaking up this heart of stone
tomorrow is yet another day
united by a spiritual force
for better or for worse
hints, lies, and allegations
the spoken word is dead
unholy ensemble of investigations
searching for the common thread

Hope shines in these lyrics, Damian.
For all of life’s cynicism and insanity, there’s still that belief that a better tomorrow is on the horizon.

Damian, I sense nuances of a spiritual battle. This made me think. I love this.
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. There was in a sense, the inner conflict that goes on inside my head. The proverbial devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. dark, etc. I think we all have a spiritual battle going on inside, as well as in the world. That’s just my opinion though. Appreciate you.

I swear, you’re able to write in a way that it’s like you’re writing my thoughts or feelings. There’s an undercurrent of spiritual searching in this that I think could be a finding of self. Which is about the deepest of spiritual journeys we can undertake. It feels brooding but with light glimmering through it. Truly gifted you are, my friend
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these lyrics my friend. I told you, we’re kindred spirits, we think and feel very similar on a lot of issues. It was spiritual, I was always searching for my identity, I knew I didn’t know everything at that time. Mistakes would be made, but I wanted to understand why humans hurt each other, why I got bullied in school, I wanted answers. And not some flimsy excuse being substituted for truth. I always instinctively would put glimmers of light in my lyrics, because deep down I still tried to have hope. It’s really hard to do since I’m pessimistic by nature. lol. This was the one song I thought could have been a hit. I mean big hit, gives me goosebumps good. Joey G, always called this song, “The Ace Up His Sleeve” hit. If needed he’d always say. Had a little Lindsey Buckingham vibe. Personally, I’ve grown to believe over time that it was a carrot to dangle. That was deep… Thank you for such an awesome compliment. Appreciate you.
