Lost In Transmission

from Apis Mellifera by Brent Lee Regan

/

lyrics

I feel like I'm the wrong one... at the wrong time
Wrong place... so I placed... the wrong line
The fault's mine / See, I'm accident prone
And that might explain why I feel I'm this way inclined
Designed with a foot in my mouth
I used to swing hooks but usually lose in a bout
A who's who of losers / Useless and I'm clueless
Full of excuses / My muse is self doubt

Schizo and manic... depressive.. I'm like an addict
Savage and rabid... aggressive... trapped in a habit
Static in panic... obsessive... lack the advantage
Of compressing my method so my face cracks the granite
I planned it any better, I'd be raptured from the planet
Spitting raps so pure they'd cure the lame and damaged
I'd soak pain up and take as much as I could manage
The bruised, the battered, the starving and the famished

Sometimes I feel like some thing's in me missing
Like there's a lyric I forgot and wish I'd written it down
The inner voice hears but won't listen
To the signal that's lost in transmission

So all I AM is a memory
A faded yesterday... A jaded belief
A faint silhouette of who we used to be
I'm the broken chord that plays the melody
I'm a lie about a lie like the one about the cherry tree
An ancient myth that retains hidden imagery
Buried in similes... disguised as a theory
With sacred symbols and signs designed for the mind's eye to see

Come in to the blind side with me
The path may be bleak but our souls are flares
Don't be scared just be aware...
See, I would not take you there if I was not fully prepared
I could not bare to bring harm to another
If I harmed myself that would only harm my mother
Now Ma, if I do not awake from this slumber...
Can you please tell my world that I love her.

Sometimes I feel like some thing's in me missing
Like there's a lyric I forgot and wish I'd written it down
The inner voice hears but won't listen
To the signal that's lost in transmission

So there's a penny for my thought and my two cents
I know the current scene's a dream and sometimes it's intense
But there's a difference between The Infidel and Brent
One's heaven sent and the other's condemned to hell
One tends to dwell with demons in a cell
And one kept meaning to tell the other about himself
One keeps scheming on the others intent to sell
His only concern is earthly wealth

And never the spiritual help he receives from the godhead
Ignoring the knowledge is really obnoxious
He thinks he's a prophet but he's a pothead
Locked in bondage with wet dreams of healing the toxic
There's not enough water to free the hostages
Or baptize the pauper - but heaven's not locked yet
The body's a goner with the ego in the cockpit
What a shame Lady Madonna... King David's been adopted

In our Oddworld... Follow me through Abraham's odyssey
Where souls are commodities and we are sole property
Of men who sell the earth in this time and space oddity
Raised from birth with Superman philosophy
Economic monopoly: It's a modern day sodomy
Conning me to buy McDonald's with their astrotheology
Products wrapped in symbology - Prop 'em open let your optics see
You're close to nirvana but Polly raped you... All apologies.

Sometimes I feel like some thing's in me missing
Like there's a lyric I forgot and wish I'd written it down
The inner voice hears but won't listen
To the signal that's lost in transmission
