KUBLAI KHAN LYRICS

1. Life For A Life


I’m told this home that hosts a ghost
Coast to coast the balance broke while
My life slips just to keep this
Sound alive, alive for now

Forfeit my name
Given a second chance I’d stay away
This road I’ve paved forever
I’ll live and die in the sound waves.

Live and die
Bury me

Never built to withstand this.
Our choice and the noise that surrounds it
My world sinks as you sing line by line.
I’m so sorry.

I’ve grown to hate
The road I chose to take
Scared things have changed
Let me go and just bury me
Bury me
Bury me

Old souls and royalty
Life for a life. Tell me which one will it be?

Years of pain validate your worth
You pray for death and beg your god for rebirth
Beg for rebirth

And for all the people I’ve hurt
Bury me before my body fucking circles the earth
Before my body, circles the earth

So bury me
Bury me


2. Dear God


Crawling to the edge of heaven
Looking below
Spirits weep for this world
Cry yourself to sleep
On clouds of tulle and silk above your childrens grief
The wish
To breathe
Remains beneath
Forced to leave but
Maybe you were missing me/trying to come back to see
Maybe you'd give anything/would you even strip your wings?
In satin skies they wait whispering
With plans of jumping. Taking turns removing their wings
Just a selfish dream
I'm just scared
I can't do this on my own
Above your grave
A son filled with shame
Not seeking gods reprieve
Only wishing you forgave me
All we need is closure
What if death desires life?
Never wanting paradise
Far away from who they loved
To bask beneath a lonely son
They close their eyes and hide silently
While the creator calls them back home
I gave you power


3. Tiny Moments


Sad fact is
None of us chose to be here. Nothing.
No one will appear that isn’t destined to disappear
Destined to disappear
Do your best accept the situation
Trouble is trouble hates jubilation
Pressured with the task of finding my purpose
Answers elude me. Gaining distance
No one wants to drown
But I have been treading water for a lifetime
Keeping my chin dry while the waves climb
Looking up just long enough to see sunset
In those tiny moments
When I’m letting go
Fully acknowledging
That I am knowledge-less
The human event
Ongoing rhythm of life
One more day
I must last
Pushing past
Just to be
Convinced that
Its okay
I’m afraid
I’m still drowning
Beauty mind sight and grace
Wading a shallow pool soon a shallow grave
No wonder everyone is miserable
Left missing so much because I think I know
The stage is set you get what you get
No wonder everyone is miserable


4. Partners


Poverty
Dwells inside of me.
See sweet innocence
Taking what I’m given
Twisting any sense left struggling inside of me
Your heart is a pit where my actions make a new nest
To lick their wounds
My mistakes congregate.
My weak traits
All lie in wait
For love and lust
For the two to separate
But they always find a way
Get away
In the silver moonlight they both dance
In a perfect course
Soft steps set the pace
Slow moves sweep
Night after night the two meet
They lose themselves
As the tension builds
Temporary fix for a
Heart impoverished
You can’t change me
Hopeless. Just leave
I’m never who you thought I was
Empty life with a fake agenda
I’m the worst kind. Fooling hearts
Your pain your hate
In the silver moonlight they both dance
Your hate courts your heart
And they twist about.
Your hate courts your heart
And they twist about.


5. A Brotherhood Of Man


In the night glows mimic
Embers in the tail lights.
In the back seat hidden I rest my eyes
I hear the words
I follow the visions
Imagine there’s no heaven
Or the hell that I live in
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Imagine all the people you thought you knew
Hatred. Violence. Discord
No hell below us
Above us, sky
Nothing to kill for
None forced to die
No possessions
Imagine if you can
no greed, no hunger
A brotherhood of man
Virtue. Justice. Embrace.
Imagine all the people sharing the earth
You may I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope that one day
A day so soon
I can join you
And the world as one.


6. Mistakes


I sink again
Goddammit, I want to break all I do is bend
I’m sick of waiting. On fucking maybes
I’ll twiddle my thumbs while you
Make up your mind that
We’re not worth the time and
Fucking effort never
Resentment rests in my bed
No sleep for me. Hang by a thread
Worth-less self worth
I sink lower
I wasn’t
Always like this
Heart break
Reshapes
But it cannot erase our mistakes
I push through
What else can I do?
Just push through what else can we?
Such a bitter bitch life is
To discover you're not worth shit
Not what others want to see
Not even who you wanna be
I dig deeper
Maybe my problem is me
Still there’s got to be more
Were we meant to live this way?
To drift away?
I refuse
To believe
There’s no way out
Tunnel visions got me seeing
Little past this sour feeling
Patience and clarity
Grant me new strength
Somethings aren’t meant to last
My nature's to the live the past but it
Proves to do me no good
I’m thankful for you
Gave me love gave me time gave me you but
No more
Time will pass on


7. Still Here


Something on my side
Built me up
And gave me pride
Helped me cope
Helped me survive
A choice in life
Helped me define
Myself in time
Of both body and mind
How you live is
Your choice
I hold this close
To me
I know its hard enough as it is
Trying to motion through every day bullshit
Growing up fast
Seeing my
Mother fall helplessly victim to
Substance abuse
Fuck
If I’ll ever become that
A better life better chance
Better plan
Still learning
Still listening
Still searching
For my myself
I know it’s hard enough as it is
Trying to motion through every day bullshit
I know it’s hard enough as it is
Trying to motion through every day bullshit
This is for us, the few left
The ones still standing. Fuck what they think
Still here. Still clean.
For Susan Griffith, eating pills
My brother Shawn, a drunk driver killed
In this life
My choice remains the same
Forever unchanged


8. Hunger


I can’t take it
Yet I try not to admit
My lack of action my refusal to comfort is dangerous.
I’ll put it off I say
I’ll wait until another day
But just remember
There are dogs out there who are always hungry.
Looking to get their fill
When you slow down they won’t
That success. Hard earned sweat. Becomes someone else’s meal.
So keep your head down and work it out.
Think it through. Time to choose
If you’re left. Wishing you’d tried more.
Are you where you wanted?
Instead of being haunted
By maybes and question of doubts asking what if?
Don’t waste your time don’t even rethink it.
The world won’t wait for you
So you gotta do what you do
The world won’t wait for you
So you gotta do what you gotta do
No one will wait for you
Caught in between
Reality and my own dreams
I see where I want to be
Just seems I never know how to get there
Forget your sense of entitlement
Complain. Expect. But won’t work for shit
Waste away I could give a fuck less
I’d rather earn it
Id rather die than be useless
So keep your head down and work it out.
Thin it through. Time to choose
If you’re left. Wishing you’d tried more.
Are you were you wanted.
Instead of being haunted.
By maybes and question of doubts asking what if?
Don’t waste your time don’t even rethink it.
If every dog has his day then where’s mine?
Keep my head up but life won’t let up
Won’t hope for better days work til they come my way
Won’t hope for better days work til they come my way


9. The Gift Of Blood


I respect your skill to believe in someone like me
You caught sight of
A child in need. An abandoned seed
Instead of simply walking way like most would
You picked me up
You took my hand
You showed me trust
Made me a man
Look now
Here we are eye to eye
I owe you my life
This is one for the ones who are unsung
One man’s mistakes. Gifted a new son
To understand this love is to live it
Though it’s hard I try to believe it
Witness my brother Kris
His son Ryder James
New Porter Jay and sweet Emily
Restoring my faith in family
A sight that heals and enlightens me
I’m the lucky one
For all the self loathing bullshit I say
I can't forget to see the beautiful effect
Compassion can bring out
No love
For weak-hearted fucks
Who disrespect
The gift of blood
Dewitt I wasn’t your son
But you were more of a father than I could have asked for
My life will honor you
This is a song of strength
Go


10. Smoke And Mirrors


Set it off
Early in life the act of hearing art
Kept me from falling apart
Craving to create
I couldn’t be like them
I couldn't settle down then
Dry up and die
Why the fuck we survived is to my surprise.
Six years of sweat and fear
That was all we ever had
It was just enough
But for what?
Fast love
Fake fucks, bad luck, and all those impossible months
The best times imagined
We were broke and dragging
Our lives behind us laughing
The youth war passing
If I knew then, what I know now
I would have slept less
No memories to be missed
Everything has changed
Now it’s a game of numbers
A competition, fucker
Know your place
Egos dominate and
Money discriminates and
I don’t fit
I look at others and I see beneath
While others look my way to look down on me
I never had shit to prove
For myself to get the kids like me through
And that will never change no
You’re the self-proclaimed heir to the industry
But this industry never meant shit to me
You’re the self-proclaimed heir to the industry
But this industry never meant shit to me
Never blessed with the mind of a business man.
Nor impressed with the depths of the feeders hands.
Never blessed with the mind of a business man.
Mind at rest with the heart of a simple man.
I know it’s never too late
That’s why we choose to display
New strength
