Limit

from Rough Rider by Adrian Niles

lyrics

There are crimes of love and passion
Misdeeds unlawful attraction
Loose and loveless women
Who make a man feel just like a man
Unfaithful hearts with inhibitions
I sought after foe with wrongful intention
Proud too long dry but not humbled by it
They make a stand just to take a stand

The sky ain't nothing but the limit
Polluted, overcast, vast

There is prejudice against hope and good
Spoken hatred against brotherhood
Men made of stone who were built that way
They roll down a hillside and fall on you
No pathway I've ever walked has been void of pits
No crow I've ever eaten has not given me the shits
My time may not be long but my flame is still on
My sky may be black but I know somewhere it is blue

The sky ain't nothing but the limit
Polluted, overcast, vast

When humanity ponders and answers with a question
From thine own self be silenced under it's sequestration
When the fold of your hem has got me on my knees
I'm thinking about nothing but you
Shaking a stick at you with a growl and a grin
I'll put up a good fight before I let you win
I'll show you mercy though you wouldn't for me
I'm the weary, the tortured, the tried, the few

The sky ain't nothing but the limit
Polluted, overcast, vast
