The sands of time low against the window - sill - ouette of a mountain losing it shape man stands still his mouth agape trapped inside the house he's built watching the sun caused the old lilies to wilt I will get by as the Sands of time slide through and hourglass down the mountainside time always slides on by I spread my arms wide open as if I'll take to the sky . My mind is like a bird is in a cage ready to fly locked inside his head of mine know I will be a queen as I am so inclined you been by my side but probably too long So I spread my wings now and yes I carry on I will get by as the sands of time slide when our glass down the mountainside time always slides on by a bird let out of its cage flying high to touch the sun will child little child life is just begun you will get by I will get by the Sands of Time slide through an hourglass down the mountainside I'm always slides on by

Ego 02:57
you feel what you think is real but you don't even know what you conceal, could you take the real you out and reveal, I bet we'd like you if you let the real you out, but you don't know who you are because your shadowed and self doubt, all wrapped up like a package out of a Hollywood shop, its all for your ego don't you know stop because beauty is earth and we need a rebirth, its all about connection, but we got this onslaught of egos and rejection., put down the ego my friend it's an illusion a mask, a defense a pretense, put down the ego my friend who are you really and whats your purpose in the end, Man.. MTV used to be my salvation, it was the music visual vibrations coming through the screen and now the message it is so obscure and its so obscene I cant believe just what these views have seen, see its Violence and stupidity has become a way of making money for MTV and its such a its such a joke to me, Its total hypocracy, I mean.. where's the music? put down the ego my friend it's an illusion its a mask, its a defense its a pretense, put down the ego my friend who are you really and whats your purpose in the end?
