Lyrics

WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES
Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Planet upon planet/ Stacked like a pile of plates
Work within the boundaries/ Within invisible gates
I looked at the beginning/ It's just a little line
I wonder what the end's like/ I wonder when is mine
There is no sky above us/ There is no earth below
We pretend to see them/ We act like we're in the know
I looked at your possessions/ And I'm a part of them
I do your sweet bidding/ I never show dissent
And when people have to ask me why I am like this
I say I got nothing to hope for/ I just exist

Fire from the fire/ The burning will not cease
Like hell I'm in turmoil/ I've never known what's peace
I looked at my religion/ The truth or a pack of lies
A fine line runs between them/ Sometimes I'm on neither side
There are no shades of beauty/ It's just a massive beast
Surrender to the howling/ We're made from its disease
I looked at your intentions/ And I'm not part of them
You have your list of confidants/ I never show dissent
And when people have to ask me why I am like this
I say I got nothing to live for/ I just exist

Ocean churning ocean/ Dreaded dark beneath
Like glimpsing into evil/ Alluringly so sweet
I looked into the future/ There's nothing there to see
Just an empty colour they call eternity
There was no life behind us/ There is no life ahead
You are a numbing feeling throbbing in my head
I looked at your illusions/ Sometimes I'm part of them
You need to me to deceive me/ I never show dissent
And when people have to ask me why I am like this
I say i got nothing to die for/ I just exist
