Cardiac Compass (Path To Preservation) Lyrics by AllOne (USA)

I’ve Been Thinking​.​.​.

2016

No you'll never live this specific present day again
Let your expectations expand
We lose every day in a flash
Create a legacy that will last
Affect a generational span
As that may be the only guarantee
Of any preservation of man

This town is a necropolis
An option starved populous
An economic dark abyss
Nietzsche's staring contest winner
Gargling tar pit swallowing dreamscapes
And bartering keepsakes for horrible cliches
Sardonic Caufield-esque zombie carcasses
Nodding off as I nod along with PT Barnum's hypothesis
(more suckers born in a New York Minute than an octopus)
Still, I love them and pump them with the thoughts of an optimist
See, I want for them to morph their stress to laurels met
Believing less in Stephen and Richard Bachman and Herbert West
And more in Paulo, Richard Bach and Herman Hesse
Needing the teaching the seagull Jonathon
Imparted in part with Siddhartha's common sense
Been valuing The Alchemist's jotted wit
Although it's arduous
\ my prerogative is my cognitive inner journey
And all it's daunting depths
Fantastic Voyager, Finding Nemo in the Nautilus
Regardless of the harmful bends
I'm out of my mind although I'm lost in my head
Indy author, I guess I'm Vonnegut
Scrawling this for:
The audience who's applause my aplomb depends
For those I laud and lost, I lug and log a lot of awful debts
For all my friends, apologetic for how long I've kept away
Time's a tick, a parasitic talking wretch I long to stretch
It weighs on my chest, it's brevity caught my breath
It's time we caught up and I confess my strong lament
For all my wrong neglect, this is for all of us
Thus I'm convinced it's for the best
I solemnly swear I'll never rest, it's true!
I'll stress until I stress the truth:
“you're unlike all the rest!”
Take it from me;
I never estimated I'd invest in taking my dreams
Take flight, a chance and wing to investigating my zenith!
I'll never net a nest egg through speaking
But I'm dedicated to spreading the message
To spread all the feathers and soar aloft in bliss
Set an example for the sedentary flogged flock
To set a course departing from the said sad
Upsetting setting entering on a quest
From the chopping block of necks to the grindstone
To fly home into whatever accomplishment meant
Whatever your cardiac compass suggests is true north success
Follow your heart...that's what they mean by “beaten/beatin path” I guess?!

No you'll never live this specific present day again
Let your expectations expand
We lose every day in a flash
Create a legacy that will last
Affect a generational span
That may be the only guarantee
At any preservation of man

So you want man preserved?
That's absurd
Sir, you have some nerve
Opening such a can of worms
As when turned in, we're in caskets, urns
The planet turns, unperturbed, natural earth
Mother nature can handle hers
The afterbirth decomposed enhancing dirt
The candle burns, never waxed, obscured
Clock hands emerge, hourglasses purge
As our sand disperses
And we'll never get it back, it's sure

No you'll never live this specific present day again
Let your expectations expand
We lose every day in a flash
Create a legacy that will last
Affect a generational span
That may be the only guarantee
At any preservation of man
