Silhouette the Poet - Mind State Traveling

The mind can sometimes take you places
Take you places take you places
Ya body don't wanna be ya body don't wanna
Ya body don't wanna body don't wanna be
Journey with me

I found myself stranded in a place
Where the light was erased
But darkness raced a place of blindness
And a habitation of disgrace
No matter how hard i squinted my eyes
I could not see anything in this place
A dwelling where everyone had a blank face
No eyes no lips no nose no ears
Just an oval space
But why and how did i end up displaced

How did i get from the outer to the core
What was the lure
Why were the walls spinning but not the floors
Why did the inside look like outdoors
How did the trees become a part of the décor
Although the surroundings appeared to be unfamiliar
I felt it was a place i had visited before
And my mind state kept traveling through life
And my mind state kept traveling through life
Just a little more

Then i found myself walking out of some double doors
And stepping down a flight of steps
Entering more doors
Subsequently entering a building
With revolving doors
Stepping over slumped and lifeless bodies
Sleeping on dirty floors
Clips of pictures of where i had been
Began to dance in my head
A syncopated vision of all my deadly collisions
All my deadly collisions and run-ins
I was revisiting visions revisiting visions of
My life of sin and although i was seeing
The beginning i knew this could not be the end
And my mind state kept traveling through life
And my mind state kept traveling through life

Trials tribulations and strife
Walking passed grounds filled with
Fornication and crack pipes
Vials of empty water smashed
Sherm and bags of weed laced with hash
Women and men selling their bodies
Just for some trinkets and petty cash
And a quick high for a limited time
And time keeps passing us by
And time keeps passing us by
And we may never know why
We may never know why
We lay in the dark and cry
Continuing to try
But i need another hit i need another hit
I need another hit
Just to get by imma stop i wanna stop
I tried to stop
But my condition my condition did not
And does not show me why
And my mind state kept traveling through life
And my mind state kept traveling through life
Then i began to see the air filled with debris
The many faces of me
Visual pictures of where i had been
Not knowing i was living a nightmare of sin
A nightmare without a care and i didn't care
Cuz it was big bad me and i wasn't scared
I wasn't scared to expose my soul
To the cold i was cold cold as a cube of ice
But at times hotter than molten rock
Oozing through a crack pipe

And my mind state kept traveling through life
And my mind state kept traveling through life
Then i found myself
Hanging around pimps hustlers tramps
Gigolos and whores drug dealers
Gangbangers smokers and crack slangers
But once i accepted christ in my heart
I went there no more
But, i still associated with my friends
Who resided in those places within
No longer did i drink orange juice mixed with gin
No longer did i commit crimes but i still did a little sin
Cuz i was still fornicating
No longer pushing those vials to my friends
To get a little ends continuing to feed them the sin
Thinking bcuz i wasn't using
It was okay to give it to them
And my mind state kept traveling through life
And my mind state kept traveling through life

Then i found myself in a calm place
Very familiar centered with the word
And full of unlimited grace
Then i began to see the vision of a face
That had eyes lips nose ears
All in place i followed the sound and this face
To a place down a musical path that had
A trail of angels playing harps
To guide me to the light
Out of the dark listening to the angelic sound
Made me want to sleep
Tears began rolling down my cheeks
Immediately as i began to weep
I found myself running and running
Until i was almost outta breathe
I ran a little more and i ran a little more
Until i had nothing left
Entered some double doors as i crept
Panting frantically with each and every step
The next thing i know i was laid out
On the altar steps
Seemingly unconscious
But no longer out of breathe
I had departed from the depths of the pit of hell
And arrived to the house of the lord
Were the saints dwell
And my mind state began to travel with christ
And my mind state began to travel with christ
With christ with christ with christ with christ
Christ
Christ
Christ
Christ
Journey with me
