Teach Me To Learn

[Verse 1: Illogic] Teach me to write And I'll bring life to the page with the pen Till words walk upright and take flight I'll craft a masterpiece Of vivid visits to bridges of imagery Concocting scores to absorb your energy Teach me to speak And I'll do things with speech never dreamed My voice will paint scenes for the disturbed And give words a color scheme Thought is the stream that feed the rivers of language So allow you're self to drown I promise it's painless; honest Teach me to love And the sun will never set on your anxieties It will be worth it I know I'm not perfect, but I'll try to be I'll collect each tear that rains from your cloudy eyes As a reminder that the pain dries With the sunrise Teach me to listen To avoid land mines and sand traps And I'll find my way by sniffing the sound Of the hand claps I gotta relax Before I relapse and loose track Of the highlighted path I had marked on the map Teach me teach And I'll never cease to preach the gospel I'll yell war till my thoughts soar to reach apostles I'll walk on water and turn the water to wine If it takes for ever that's better I've got nothing but time [Hook] If you teach me then I'll learn to be a human being active I was told the steps to take I just haven't had the practice I been too consumed with how to graduate the fastest; But when fate broke the rose colored glass I aced my classes If you teach me then I'll learn Just keep curriculum cohesive Educate me in the promise land Of times sandy beaches Open the book of life to recite the lessons for today So I can finally realize what peace is [Verse 2: Illogic] I gotta learn to walk So I can get off my hands and knees; Be a man stand and believe There's forest beyond the trees; To know there's still life beyond the withered leaves; To know there's still warmth beyond the bitter breeze I gotta learn to breath And these cartons of cancer aren't helping I know it's three parts suicide And one part rebellion I seldom desire what's left or right I just hope the merch in the van is packed tight So I don't get left tonight I gotta to learn to escape Because I hate being locked atop this auction block Waiting on display for the highest bidder My patience today will stay vibrant; I figure silence is the most dangerous violence in painted Pictures I gotta learn to give Because I can take with the best of them I have to learn to swim So I don't drown in my ego I gotta learn to live So I don't die with the rest of them I gotta learn to accept The words I say affects the people Teach me to sing So I can bring harmony to the chaos There's more to explore with making noise then getting famous I have to learn that the joy is where the pain is So we earth dwellers can put away our umbrellas when the rain ends [Hook] [Outro]
