Follicles in the face what a protection
Just another piece of armour
Represent a lack of self affection
and i dig on in this swamp
as humanity clomps
and gnaws its claws to the wave of mind congestion
You see me coming from miles away
lurking in that corner
creating my own shade
got a choice to hide for a while
or shine on through that vial
while the masses judge my reactive impressions
Then you feel you didnt come across how you wanted to
theres no need to fret
youre always lucky theres a few
who dont care how you wanna look
they raise you up when youre shook
and tear down the facade of surface value
These mean follicles were a piece of me
slightly hiding inhabitions
winning wars with myself
and i had them since i was a teen
Over 20 years later was it an investment?
or a massive anchor creating a crutch of resentment
to hide these eyes for a while
or turn back on that dial
of a life lived with true expression
Growing up i was clueless as hell
put the walls around
lets feign happy in this cell
while the anger erupts
narrowly avoid that crux
wave that hair around like a massive zepplin
Now its gone
I wont let nature its course on me
i can ride for a while
and take hold my mystique
but you gotta loosen that hold
take away that image you mould
and recognise its not an alter to your soul
In the end it didnt define you
was an evasion on the mission to find truth
you want that perspective all clear
walk in on 39 years
now the depths you cast
cling on like a fine glue
Inner realms i have felt
Outer worlds i have dealt
With the troubles i feared
while the masses all leered
affection ive cherished
until the love has all perished
These follicles have gone now its refined a breakthrough
