Jack-in-the-box.

some say it with the code of any conviction
relentless words that fill the tongue with a disease
spat across a room whilst the air fills with gloom
sat back and waiting for Jack-in-the-box to open
twisters from the mouth that turned Chinese puzzle
caught by a red-handed seeker, what\'s he trying to do
way short of intelligence that kept all books shut
a way of life will tell you that, even Budda will believe
unfortunate wisdom whilst the world had to teach a fool
never gave and never give telling the crooked speech
many a moon of man must entice the planets to see
upon this Earth that man learns to exists in dull drudgery
with foundations of language and all our worldly Gods
misinterpreted beliefs within our religious conference speech
sins down on the devil that creates another wisdom in man
alongside Heaven, we think more than it being a beautiful life
a chosen word can end or begin a story written in any book
a mental capacity to perceive, you\'re not the greatest of all
pretense in believing that everything is not just a thought
unforgettable lashings upon our souls when we get caught
with our hearts following a talk that sets us onto freedom
blinded by the lies once again, remember, this will never end.
