The Many Faces of Oliver Hart or: How Eye One The Write Too Think
Sometimes it's best to give up the fight
All that really matters is I know that I'm right
I can't be following anyone else's ideal path of success
I pass up that stress, feel mad for the rest, gasping for breath
Trapped in my head, asking for less rations in death, passion is left
Ashes to dust...
Just consider the love of an antique pot on my window sill
My mask is my flesh my dream is to grow wings
And sing till freedom rings
I got a rhythm but I'm eager to unplug my speaker
And let my heart be my teacher
It's hard to tell where all this comes from
It's like my soul holds a song that eternity left undone
But it'll never be finished
That's the point
I got to get going
Thanks for the inspiration

I'm walking
Not 'cause I'm mad at you or anyone else
I'm walking
Walking until I find myself

Sometimes, how close we get
From the way it gets
I run towards the rainbow
But when I get there it's gone
So next time there's a rainbow
I'm a run away from it
So when I turn around
I'll see it while it's strong

Now I don't care about my whereabouts
I'll clear it out, I gotta go that's all I know
I'll hit the road and find my soul and they say
Listen to me, get a degree
Look up and see what you can be: infinity
But everything and anything anyway
I see your eyes and realize I need to cry
That even I attempt to hide
What being lies so deep inside
Thanks for your help
But I won't find nothing better
In a world this beautiful
I'll be walking forever

I'm walking
Not 'cause I'm mad at you or anyone else
I'm walking
Walking until I find myself

Journey I don't expect nothing
But the un-expectable
The only thing I know for a fact
Is that I'll never know too much about myself
So I'm a keep learning
'Cause I'm determined to find the pieces fire-burning
Turning these pages just as slow as I can
Reading every single word from the poet within
I float with the wind and stay content
Wherever it carries me
There was no beginning and there won't be an end
I'm just a piece of the galaxy
A seed in the soil
A stream of consciousness
And to the seasons I'm loyal
Don't take my movement personal
It's not that I don't dig you
But I can't be on the beach
Of your sea when it boils
And so I walk with the music
Because to me that's all that's real
Don't know where I'm going
Don't have a plan
I've been hearing instructions my whole life
And I still think walking away from the rainbow
Will make you more of a man

I'm walking
Not 'cause I'm mad at you or anyone else
I'm walking
Walking until I find myself

Speaking of walking, as I walked onto the set
The director was like, what the fuck you doing!
Glanced around and said, my fault I'm in the wrong movie
