Time To Go Inward

It's time to go inward, take a look at myself

Time to make the most of the time that I've got left

Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel

Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid

To stare down the barrel of the choices that I've have made

The ghost of bad decisions

Make mountains out of everything I feel

Outside my window the wind weaves a path through the trees

The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall on the leaves

It's time to go inward, hmm

I don't know if I can do it after all that I've become

I've been a fool for money

But it's vanity that always leaves me flat

It's time to go inward, man I hope I have the nerve

To take an inventory of the causes that I serve

They say a man without a conscience

Is like a man without a country or somethin' like that

It's time to go inward, time to be still

If I don't do it now I don't believe I ever will

My mind is like a chatterbox

Whose noise pollutes the pathways to my soul

Time to go inward, time to get a grip

Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip

I'm all out of excuses now

For the way I've let my choices take a toll

Jesus and Buddha and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew

To do unto others the things you want done unto you

It's time to go inward and take a look at me

Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see

And try to solve the riddle

Of what it is I have to offer to this world
