Poets, Saints, and Vandals Video (MV)

Never betray brethren, yes that goes for sisters too
Better not to beat that drum of violence even when lifted by its vicious boom
Don't get it confused, not a sermon but a mission statement
If this were famous people would be dissecting it for payment
Objective obtuse not just entertainment
Step into my office sit, I'm about to make this obvious
You're brilliant

You ignoramus, it just takes some diligence some patience
No one who makes millions just waits up
But this really isn't about a pay stub
My name is Adam Cedar better rapper than I am speaker
It's my voice as Fantoms' beats are booming out your speakers
Our souls screech like waxed floors do beneath your sneakers
Freak your EQ's let your feet do what feet do
Like Kasparov vs Deep Thought or Deep Blue
This is a 42 for those of you who seek truth
In chess moves, inkblots and novel plots
I feel you, distraught
Ever searching for an answer ever spurred on by a question
Ever stuck inside an idea, this one and then the next one
Never ever, ever after, ever changing, never static
Life dreamed up god inside and attic a void darker than the blackest magic
All mythology was born as a cipher for this action
Monolith or monomyth the obscure if not clear made obvious
Is all of this an odyssey or just an oddity that I exist
Do I need a psychiatrist or is that just a lie that sits
Burning on my tongue like an onion
Wishing I could cry by my own volition
Oh to be young again a shadow looms inside my vision
My animosity isn't Jungian and I'm not partial to prophecy
Life happens now hold somebodies hand if you're feeling me
This is easily as beautiful as we can be

This is for the terminally illiterate that intricate and cryptic shit
With a flick I lit a cigarette feeling so disinterested
With the thoughts inside my head

Passion, we're not asking just
Dancing, dancing, dancing past the monsters in the labyrinth
Laughing, see we're here to make the best of this
Drink in, life till there's nothing left of it
Passion, we're not asking just
Dancing, dancing, dancing past the monster in the labyrinth
Laughing, see we're here to make the best of it
Drink in life

A clan of rabid animals, poets, saints and vandals all
We rise and we fall dance steps in the bandits ball
Damn it all and bless it too blessed be the one who's you
Damage control, let's get glue, a life with holes is nothing new

We all got our share of problems, hang-ups and closets
Full of skeletons, f*ck it and to hell with it, we got this
Heaven sent is the hell we live, it makes you stronger
Take dawn as your sword, living flesh as your armor

New callouses - it's a wonder to land
On your feet like Alice did, now you understand
Truth is a rubber band, stretch it too far and you break it
It can't cover you when naked but it's still the shape you make it

Backwards, all talk but can't back your words
Attack with words, like everything a competition
Every swings not made for hitting
Kids know this, how'd we forget it?
I believe in kings as far as I can move them
My conclusions not allusion
Greed and fear are both illusions
Making people f*cking stupid
Jerking around with a puppets movement
Sick of the sound with nothing to it
A rerun of a rerun of a rerun
Makes me so f*cking bored
Season, after season, gets old
Rip Van you can hear me snore
We can't outrun our shadows
We're in deep but acting shallow
War and peace are frames of mind
Breathing deep is half the battle
People beef and act like cattle
Don't see fangs just hear the rattle

Passion, we're not asking just
Dancing, dancing, dancing past the monsters in the labyrinth
Laughing, see we're here to make the best of this
We drink in life, till there's nothing left of it
Passion, we're not asking just
Dancing, dancing, dancing past the monsters in the labyrinth
Laughing, see we're here to make the best of this
We drink in life
