Midnight In A Perfect World (gift Of Gab Mix) Lyrics

Peep through the door

 It seems as though the grass was much greener before

 The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore

 Money and greed deluded what is truly pure

 And yet our flesh keeps screeching out for more

 

 Now you're trapped

 A hole in the ozone about to make the world collapse

 Pollution fills the air and minds with bullet twisted facts

 Midnight is now upon us people righteous laws are coming back

 

 Don't turn your head away cause you can't get away

 Your mind is lost because your spirit has been led astray

 Don't ever say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all

 Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight

 No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight

 

 Panic's in the air

 Some jumping out of buildings others on their knees in prayer

 Some cry out to the sky and yell they aren't quite prepared

 You looked god in the face and said forgive me all he did was stare.

 

 Now you can run,

 But where you gonna hide from all the power of the sun?

 The cosmic reprecussions of what human kind has done

 No understanding of the fullness everything is simply one

 

 Soon to be none again so that new life can come again

 Illusions rule the mind your soul is never gonna end

 So don't pretend you gave it all if you ain't gave it all

 Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight

 No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight

 

 So I bid farewell.

 No more good times or bad times, no more heaven no more hell.

 Now brace yourself for impact it's a half hour to twelve

 Complete in total darkness empty space is where you're left to dwell.

 

 And all you had to do was live today for your tomorrow

 But now it's over and you're drowning deep inside your sorrow

 You could've led but instead you confirmed and chose to follow

 So once again I bid farewell

 

 There's only seconds left you'd like to second guess

 But through your foolish ways you've literally beckoned death

 So just don't say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all

 Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight

 No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight
