lyrics

Caked up and faked up,
She's obsessed with the outside.
Nothing earned, too afraid to fail.
So she leads a hollow life void of insight
Loving what you see, but you fear what you think
Because between your mind and your body
There's a missing fucking link
That leaves you vulnerable, susceptible to pain
You're a garden of potential submerged in the rain

I said true beauty can't be seen with the eyes

Armed, armed with a mind
I'm gonna strengthen my action with thought
Make use of the gift I got
And walk fearless because I'm armed with-a mind
A weak offense when you step to this
Mind over matter is power over fists
I walk fearless because i'm armed with a mind

I walk fearless with a mind far greater than just a fucking fist.

Spineless and mindless,
You flex your muscles and not your fucking head
A deep man with a strong point,
Made without one thoughtful word said?
"Huff and puff", the fierce fists will do the talking
Can't speak for yourself, so your "crew's" with you walking
Tell me what's worth fighting for...
And it better be something greater than an evening of the score

Boy, your true strength sleeps behind your eyes!

It's the absent minded fool who's afraid to think,
To extend an open hand,
To dare to earn a thing.
It's the gift inside our heads not to take for granted..
Because an unexamined life is a seed unplanted.
As the animals, they cant reason
But as humans, we can.
So are you just a wild animal or a rational man?
Our bodies take us nowhere, might does not make right.
There's a gift inside your head called your mind.
