Anywhere With You
Joseph Arthur Lyrics

Belief is just a resident
Your beliefs are just based on things you heard when you were in pain

Of things you heard when the pain was clear
Your beliefs were formed when you were in pain and are not necessarily true

You've been traveling in so far
You have been on a long journey in life

Only to find out your still nowhere near
But you still feel lost and distant from your goals

You're the creator of the gods
You are the one who created your beliefs and rules

And the whores of the Babylon
And the ones who follow your beliefs blindly are similar to the sinful women of Babylon

Most just want your money
Many people are just using your beliefs to get money

But one or two will kill you for a song
But some may actually believe and follow your beliefs blindly and even die for them

Singing to the drifter
Singing to people who are lost in life

Singing to the banker and the maid
Singing to people from different walks of life

Singing to the sling shots
Singing to the people who feel like outcasts or powerless

Singing to the diamond and the ???
Singing to the people who have made it big in life or have material possessions

And the Thieves are gone
The people who steal or deceive are no longer around

I'm ready to go anywhere
I am willing to go anywhere in life

Anywhere with you
As long as I am with you

And we sing this song over over
And we continue to live and express ourselves

With you my love
With you, the one I care for

Shouting at the fire engines
Expressing frustration at things beyond your control

Rolling down Jefferson at dawn
Driving through the city early in the morning

Everyone corrupted
Everyone seems to have their own agenda and is doing things for selfish reasons

And looking like there's nowhere to belong
And it seems like there is no place where you fit in or belong in the world

I see your eye's are spinning
I see that you are confused and disoriented

Swallowing the world the way it blooms
Taking in the world in its entirety

The walls began to dance
Your perception is distorted

And your thoughts began appearing in balloons
Your thoughts are now disconnected and seem to be drifting

So when the strangers sugar coat servants at the seam
So when people are deceptive and try to appear better than they are

As the beggars bleeding butchers betting back the bread the bank round you to bring
As the poor people who are being taken advantage of, fight for what they need to survive

And trucks with number flames roll undisturbed thru greenhill, so will I
And machines continue to operate regardless of the chaos in the world, the same way I will continue moving forward

Your trying to nurse the sprit, but it's enough for most just to survive
You are trying to heal your spirit, but for most people, just making it through each day is enough

And their eye's are gone
And they have lost their sense of purpose and meaning

Someone needs an operator
Someone needs help or guidance

Someone else is broken on the road
Someone else is hurt and suffering

The one by loves it's self too much
The one who is in love with themselves and is selfish

That never got around to explode
Has never been able to fully express themselves

Games and animators say
Games and the fantasy world can be used to escape reality

We'll be forgiven and do time
We'll be forgiven for our wrongdoings with time

But there has always been an alligator
But there have always been dangerous things waiting to destroy our dreams and hopes

Biting off the heads of those who shine
Destroying the people who try to stand out in the crowd

Nothing here is real
Nothing in life is as it seems

And nothing here holds any true weight
Nothing really matters, it is all superficial

Heading out of Troutville
Leaving somewhere where things were bad or hopeless

Bleeding hands reaching for the bank
Straining to survive and hold on to what little security we have

Pull me from the stream
Help me escape from the current that is leading me to destruction

And I will fight like danger in the air
I will fight like my life depends on it, with danger all around me

And as you are driving by the accident
As you witness the mistakes and tragedies of others

Each review will start to stare
You start to notice the pain and suffering in the world

I'm sending you a postcard
I am sending you a message from my life

But I am nowhere
But I don't feel like I belong anywhere

And you are nowhere too
And you don't feel like you belong anywhere either

Well I don't have a stamp
And I don't have the means to send you a proper message

So I'll just burn it if it's all the same to you
So instead, I will dispose of it and continue on with life

It held no information
The message did not contain anything of significance

Cause every word that's spoken is a lie
Because everything that is said is not necessarily true

For you were never born
Because you were never actually born, you were just created by others' beliefs

So there is no way you will ever die
So you will never really be able to end or escape your existence

What's the use of feeling for someone
What's the point of caring for someone who is not real

That you made up in your mind
That you created in your own imagination

You dream that you are lost
You imagine that you are lost in order to find yourself

And you imagine that there is a you to find
And you believe that there is a real version of yourself yet to be discovered

But there just aint nobody
But in reality, there is no one like that

No savior, no heaven and no hell
There are no divine beings or punishment, it's all a big lie

Just a load of broken junk
Our beliefs and rules are just a bunch of meaningless stuff

You're looking for an idiot to sell
You're looking for someone to buy into these beliefs and rules, even if they are foolish

Your life it doesn't work
Your life is not functioning the way you want it to

But you've resigned yourself to live it till the end
You've accepted that this is just how your life is

The way you look so kind
Despite this, you continue to put on a good face and be kind to others

But no one seems to notice so you just pretend
But no one seems to appreciate or acknowledge it, so you feel like you have to pretend

Then you get depressed
Eventually, this takes a toll on your mental state and you become depressed

So you find yourself a doctor and a pill
So you seek help and take medication to deal with these feelings

To make the line more comfortable
To make life more bearable

And make-believe your following your will
And pretend that you are still in control of your life

And we sing this song over over
And we continue to live and express ourselves

With you my love
With you, the one I care for

Then you get depressed
Eventually, this takes a toll on your mental state and you become depressed
