lyrics

Once Destroyed with Tears of Joy

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by mirrors and near death naivety.
Over-analyzed and under educated
Who almost dug themselves and early grave and were unable to escape the parade.
Angel-headed Misters and lost little sisters who battled their way through the maze
they had created for themselves, of course dictated by this society that we are all a part of.
Who searched and reached beyond the confinements of philosophy in drug induced bouts of languid curiosity
With purpose or with apathy, a dissatisfied duality
Who adapted to convenience in a lazy existence of dependence and vice
Who swam in the possibility of success but chose to waste life
Who walked in shoes with holes among rows of suburb cut-outs and loose belly dives
The corner chug-chug
The pin prick tattoo
Where the desolation angels led their desolated lives
Who hitchhiked on helicopters and played with each other
Who stashed drugs in bushes and crossed country borders
And pulled rickshaws in harbours
And bathed naked like mermaids in rivers under the imminence of interstate bridges
Who eventually recognized the facade that gripped them full-fledged
And that their terrors were their passions that hung by thin threads
Until the divine washed them over and brought them a little closer to a hyper-state of awareness while living on the edge
Propelled by naïve desires, we learned – the destroyed minds and I

And now as empathy stirs in the bottom of my soul
I feel an overwhelming urge to give
To give from the rooftop of my apartment
Overlooking the stacked of bricks hollowed out to house homes of visitors to this land
I hope for a higher consciousness to reach the populace
To teach the populace
In our dreams, these experiences allowed us to walk slowly on the open highway of life
We went on a round the world journey of discovery with tears of joy in our eyes
And this lead us to the door of every door we would ever open.

Vocals, Composed by: Danielle Arsenault
