The Mystique

we grow strong when we were weak

when all our lives seemed very bleak

bend the truth until it's the one you seek

live for one true love and you will be the mystique

**

we become fearless when we were afraid

unanswered prayers; leave us dismayed

the war we fight is freedom from the masquerade

the life we want is the one we haven't made

**

we find hope when we were hopeless

we make time for pleasures that are timeless

where we went wrong we become righteous

we begin to speak our minds when we were speechless

**

we grow wise when we admit we were foolish

we are persecuted when we were mulish

it went deeper than the addiction to shrewish

those exaggerated claims seem very prudish

**

we become wanted when we feel unwanted

we are awakened when we were haunted

nowhere near perfect so we can't be vaunted

sit up straight, we always looked daunted

**

the streets are infested when we are toxic

we are rough around the edges where we seem to be slick

the world in turmoil and a foreign relation peacenik

I learned not to care about another raging lunatic

**

we are found where we were once lost

the line between genius and insanity has been crossed

what is it that we're bound to a global accost

should we speak when we are spoken to, at any cost

**

we were saved when we were in the event of our demise

we're all searching for the perfect enterprise

where we bent the truth is where we wear a disguise

we find acceptance in those things that we despise

**

war doesn't stop wars, fear only leads to self-deceit

all the things that once existed become obsolete

inflicting hate only breeds more fear on the street

where we once were won't lead to self-defeat

**

done the time and we want out of this prison we create

if I could answer every question it would all depend on fate

a product of our own creation in the world's mind-state

the power of love to the people who seek the souls mate

**

I wish everyone around the world would relax and smoke a joint

wars are all for nothing and nothing for all with no moralistic viewpoint

extremist peacemakers misvalued commodity of variables that conjoint

and here we are again with another chosen antichrist to anoint
