Verse 1

People look to me and say,

Is the end near when is the final day.

What's the future of mankind,

How do I know I got left behind.

Chorus

Everyone goes through changes,

Looking to find the truth.

Don't look to me for answers,

Don't ask me, I don't know 

(Know, know, know, know)

Verse 1

Screaming, at the window.

Watch me die, another day.

Hopeless, situation.

Endless price, I have to pay.

Chorus

Sanity now it's beyond me,

There's no choice.

Verse 2

Diary, of a madman.

Walk the line, again today.

Entries, of confusion.

Dear diary, I'm here to stay.

Chorus

Manic depression befriends me,

Hear his voice.

Sanity now it's beyond me.

There's no choice.

Bridge

A sickened mind and spirit,

The mirror tells me lies,

Could I mistake myself for someone,

Who lives behind my eyes?

Will he escape my soul,

Or will he live in me?

Is he trying to get out,

Or trying to enter me?

Verse 3

Voices, in the darkness.

Scream away, my mental health,

Can I, ask a question.

To help me save me, from myself?

Chorus

Enemies fill up the pages,

Are they me?

Monday till Sunday in stages,

Set me free, oh

Listen I built this beautiful ride,

Frame up, from the chrome pan head,

Swinging from the apes the pipes are pushing where I'm led,

Rid-in has been everything since knee to my trike,

Just hitting the sound and make'n my rounds to the world behind my bike.

Na na na na na na 

Yea e yea e yea 

Na na na na na na 

Yea e yea e yea

Nothing can stop me 

Nothing can stop me 

Nothing can stop me 

If loving someone is letting them go I guess it's time to be sore,

I've given everything is never enough, you're still crying more,

Freeway takes me all the way onto the next town,

Don't let me turn around, don't let me slow down.

Na na na na na na 

Yea e yea e yea 

Na na na na na na 

Yea e yea e yea

The pipes are pushing,

Where I'm leading,

My ride’s been everything ,

Since I was knee high knee high to my trike.

The pipes are pushing,

Where I'm leading,

My ride’s been everything,

Since I was knee high knee high to my trike.

(Guitar Solo)

No I wasn't born with a 4-O and a sack, but the very next day

I rolled my trike for the taps and if there is something you got to say 

And run your mouth with the crap about changing my ways no 

I'll never do that

Take that negative energy 

Grow some plants in the back 

Let that smoky breeze help relax your act

Then one day you're going to see

It's all about you, It's all about me living free

Na na na na na na 

Yea e yea e yea 

Na na na na na na 

Yea e yea e yea

Nothing can stop me

Nothing can stop me 

Nothing can stop me 

Nothing can stop me 

Nothing can stop me 

Nothing can stop me

Before you burn your drums too black ashes,

Before you burn your drums too black ashes.

Were loaded in the toy,

Far cry from a try

Head snapped again little drummer boy.

Gotta keep on keep on keep on pushing it,

Got to get on through this sun holy place,

Got my thumb up in the air sitting on that bag,

On this highway that I don't think anyone is been.

Know one next to me

But the lemon yellow sun.

Lemon, yellow sun.

Got to keep on moving got nowhere else to go,

Got to get on back down to Mexico,

Got my thumb up in the air sitting on that bag,

On this highway that don't think anyone's been.

Come take a ride, on my tin can freight train,

Tin can, freight train.

Across the sea of time in space we crawl among the dead in trance sing for comfort and joy, into, the void.

Across the sea of time in space we crawl among the dead in trance sing for comfort and joy, into, the void.

Gotta keep on keep on keep on pushing it,

I don't think I've felt so all alone,

I guess it makes me stronger.

I don't think I've been this far from home,

I guess it made me wonder.

I'm waiting on the sunset night,

To be with you, when I close my eyes

Waiting on the sunset night,

To see your smile, sunrise.

Waiting on this sunset night,

To be with you, when I close my eyes

Waiting on the sunset night,

To see your smile, sunrise.

Strong tides heavy storms were in,

I couldn't see the sky.

I'm looking at you,

And there's nothing I used to see.

I wish you would have said goodbye,

Before your soul turned black.

The wind on the cliff, 

Invited me to fly.

She whispered I deserve peace,

Peace of mind.

I know, in keeping this covenant of myself too,

Stay in, stitches waiting for what was is a,

Castle, I built that burns the sky.

I know the trinkets, of our ceremony,

Mean nothing to you now,

Please don't throw them under the yard sale sign.

I'm looking at you,

And there's nothing I used to see.

I wish you would have said goodbye, 

Before your soul turned black.

Drudge, and rally around,

Set it up to the letter then,

Tear it down.

Losing without fail,

Isn't that called conformity? 

And the rule is to walk always uphill.

And it's always my turn, like clockwork.

Drag the chain,

Drag the chain,

Drag the chain.

Wheels within wheels,

Time grinds heavy, in my hand.

A seed within a seed,

Grows up in nowhere, nowhere land.

And it's always my turn, like clockwork.

Drag the chain

Drag the chain

Drag the chain.

Won't you help me,

Woha, woha, woha

Always uphill, eat my sorrow.

Always uphill, help my pain.

Always uphill, ????

Always uphill, all ways,

Burn it down.

1 Verse 

Living it up for honesty, 

Nobody goes down there.

Seems to be a place for me, 

Crushing enemies. 

1 Chorus 

Looking through the glass window, 

Nothing but a desert sand.

Looking through the glass window,

Nothing but the desert sand.

2 Verse 

Way of sorrows is the route,

Driving my car with out.

Covent store is no where near,

Put it in higher gear.

Returning to my stomping grounds, 

To reconnect my faith.

Two places of emptiness,

Emotional engagement. 

2 Chorus 

Looking through the glass window, 

Nothing but a desert sand.

Looking through the glass window,

Nothing but the desert sand.

2 Bridge 

My beloved is like a roe, 

A young heart stand behind our wall.

Beautiful imagery depicts, 

A lover playfully. 

Lovingly searching for his one, 

Intimate connection.

Looking in this spiritual, 

Mirror without changes. 

Solo

3 Verse 

Looking in this spiritual,

Mirror without changes. 

Leads to a forgetful and, 

Unproductive goal. 

Lovingly searching for his one, 

Intimate connection.

His natural face, in a glass,

Manner of man he was.

3 Chorus

Looking through the glass window, 

Nothing but a desert sand.

Looking through the glass window,

Nothing but the desert sand.

Looking through the glass window, 

Nothing but a desert sand.

Looking through the glass window,

Nothing but the desert sand.

More lyric idea

Powerful feelings of Joy,

Crushing enemies. 

Like the dust of the Earth,

Crushing them like mud. 

These holy sites bring to life,

In the dust dirt Land. 

Mystery around the sand,

Performing miracles again.

Stomping Grounds

Bible stomping grounds" isn't a common biblical term; it likely refers to places of intense spiritual or emotional engagement with the Bible, such as a creative bible journaling workshop called "The Stompin' Grounds," or metaphorically, a person's own "old stomping grounds" within their faith, like returning to the beginning in the Garden of Eden to rediscover foundational beliefs. The phrase can also allude to biblical imagery of "stomping" to express powerful feelings of joy or grief, or to the act of crushing enemies, as seen in passages like 2 Samuel 22:43. 

Literal and Figurative Meanings

Creative Bible Journaling: "The Stompin' Grounds" is the name of a workshop that teaches creative ways to engage with the Bible through art and journaling techniques.

Returning to Faith Foundations: A spiritual journey might be described as returning to one's "old stomping ground" to reconnect with the origins of their faith, like the Garden of Eden in the Bible.

Biblical Expressions of Power or Emotion: The act of "stomping" in the Bible can represent:

Crushing Enemies: In 2 Samuel 22:43, the psalmist describes grinding his enemies to powder, like the dust of the earth, after crushing them like mud. 

Intense Emotion: Cultural practices at the time of the Bible suggest that stomping one's feet on the ground was a way to express extreme joy or grief. 

Biblical Examples

Isaiah 26:6-16: Mentions the feet of those who were crushed stomping on their enemies. 

2 Samuel 22:43: Describes grinding enemies to dust. 

The phrase "Bible stomping grounds" refers to the significant biblical locations where key events from both the Old and New Testaments took place. These holy sites bring the biblical narrative to life for visitors. 

Key biblical locations in the Holy Land

Jerusalem

A spiritual epicenter for Christians, Jews, and Muslims, Jerusalem is mentioned frequently in the Bible. 

Temple Mount: The site of the First and Second Temples. Jesus was presented here as an infant and later taught within its grounds.

Via Dolorosa: The "Way of Sorrows" is the traditional route Jesus walked, carrying his cross to his crucifixion.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre: This church in Jerusalem's Old City is believed to contain the sites of Jesus' crucifixion (Calvary) and his tomb.

Mount Zion: The site of the Cenacle, believed to be the location of the Last Supper.

Mount of Olives: A site of many key events, including Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane before his arrest. 

Galilee region

Jesus spent much of his ministry around the Sea of Galilee, where he performed miracles and taught his disciples. 

Capernaum: Known as "Jesus' Town" in the New Testament, this fishing village was the center of his ministry in the Galilee. The ruins of a synagogue from his time can still be explored.

Mount of Beatitudes: The traditional location where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.

Tabgha: A location on the Sea of Galilee's shore associated with the feeding of the 5,000.

Nazareth: The hometown of Jesus, where he grew up with his family. 

Judean and Dead Sea regions

Bethlehem: Just south of Jerusalem, this is the birthplace of Jesus. The Church of the Nativity is believed to mark the location of his birth.

Jordan River: This river has immense biblical significance, most notably as the site of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist.

Qumran: An archaeological site near the Dead Sea where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the mid-20th century.

Jericho: Mentioned as the location where Jesus healed the blind Bartimaeus and met Zacchaeus. 

Other significant biblical lands

Mount Sinai (Egypt): According to tradition, this is the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God.

Petra (Jordan): An archaeological wonder mentioned in the Old Testament, though its most famous structures were carved later.

Babylon (Mesopotamia): An ancient Mesopotamian state and city.

Patmos (Greece): An island where the apostle John is said to have received the vision that became the Book of Revelation. 

The Bible refers to seeing "through a glass darkly" in 1 Corinthians 13:12, a metaphor for imperfect understanding that will be made clear in the future. Additionally, James 1:23-25 uses a "looking-glass" to represent God's word, which reveals our flaws and leads to transformative action when heard and obeyed. Other passages mention windows metaphorically (Song of Solomon 2:9) and literally, such as the case of Eutychus in Acts 20:9.  

For Spiritual Understanding

1 Corinthians 13:12: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known" 

For now we see through a glass, 

darkly; but then face to face: 

now I know in part; but then 

shall I know even as also I am

looking through a dim mirror

It offers only a partial view

doesn't provide full knowledge, 

implying a future state of clearer

his natural face in a glass

manner of man he was

perfect law of liberty,

a mirror that reveals our selves

Merely looking in this spiritual mirror without changing one's behavior leads to a forgetful and unproductive response. 

Song of Solomon 2:9: "My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh in at the windows, he looketh in at the lattices" (KJV).

Pros: This beautiful imagery depicts a lover playfully and lovingly searching for his beloved, symbolizing an intimate connection and desire.

Cons: This is poetic imagery, not meant for literal interpretation, and focuses on a worldly longing rather than an eternal truth.

For Literal Events 

Acts 20:9: Describes a young man named Eutychus who falls asleep and falls from a third-story window during Paul's sermon.

Pros: This true account highlights human frailty and the miraculous power of God, as Paul later revives the young man.

Cons: This passage is about a real event, not a metaphorical use of windows.

(KJV). 

Pros: This passage explains that our current understanding of spiritual matters is imperfect and incomplete, like looking through a dim mirror. 

Cons: It offers only a partial view and doesn't provide full knowledge, implying a future state of clearer understanding. 

James 1:23-25: "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed" (KJV). 

Pros: The Bible itself is the "perfect law of liberty," acting as a mirror that reveals our true selves and encourages transformation when acted upon. 

Cons: Merely looking in this spiritual mirror without changing one's behavior leads to a forgetful and unproductive response. 

For Romantic Allusion 

Song of Solomon 2:9: "My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh in at the windows, he looketh in at the lattices" (KJV).

Pros: This beautiful imagery depicts a lover playfully and lovingly searching for his beloved, symbolizing an intimate connection and desire.

Cons: This is poetic imagery, not meant for literal interpretation, and focuses on a worldly longing rather than an eternal truth.

For Literal Events 

Acts 20:9: Describes a young man named Eutychus who falls asleep and falls from a third-story window during Paul's sermon.

Pros: This true account highlights human frailty and the miraculous power of God, as Paul later revives the young man.

Cons: This passage is about a real event, not a metaphorical use of windows.

Awoken once again,
To the ice that invades my soul.

Screaming out in pain,
And i’m losing out control.

Tears I cry, are icicles,
That break unto the floor,
Can I ever escape this place or remain forever more.

The darkness in me grows,
The pain swallows my sole,
It’s ripping me apart,
Living on the edge of a frozen heart.

Thousand years alone down here, become a little crazy.
All I remember from my past, black and very hazy.

The one thing that I know,
You can mark these words for true, 

I will one day escape this place and I’m coming straight for you.

The darkness in me grows,
the pain swallows my sole,
It’s ripping me apart,
Living on the edge of a frozen heart.
