My Game My Rules

We're all captains of our own ships Sailing our blood-vessels through the sea of life Sometimes we sail into raging storms Of negativity, fear, hatred or depression But as the water outside that keeps us afloat Take it onboard and you'll sink These are my ships rules: Rule one: Life Is a Game Everyday remember this mantra: My game, my rules If you're not playing your own game and making up your own rules Then you're playing someone else's And most likely being played And some people play fucked up nasty games Personally, I like mine to be all a bit of fun Rule two: Life Is a Dance, Enjoy It. Dance is fucking ace, I love dancing It powers up your happy and makes you into a positive energy machine If you're full of good energy then nothing can touch you if you keep it that way Not really When you're dancing in a club The music doesn't stop when someone trips on your foot And neither do you So why do it at any other time? Dance through life And enjoy every fucking step If the world's not playing your kind of music Then sing your own song As loud as you can and dance to your own rhythm The right people will eventually hear your tune and join in Or, you just dance alone And be happy that you're not copying someone else's steps Beat out the rhythm of your heart And make your mark on life an awesome tattoo Not a scar Rule three: Life Is Magic We're all magic thought wizards Individual sparks of a divine consciousness Co-creating a shared reality with our magic wizard brains Our brains are both a receiver and a transmitter Projecting our intentions out To a universe that's all ears And will give us what it thinks we're asking for So pay attention to the thoughts and deeds you pour into your world They are the influence you exert on our collective reality Choose your mood Make your own happy Beam out smiles And never stop creating We're the most creative things we know of And we endlessly come up with ways of getting something else to do it Or someone Get stuck in Make mistakes And turn them into lessons That's what they're for And how we learn to grow our wings And we need wings We are the caterpillar Life is our cocoon No matter what your views on religion and spirituality They all boil down to one thing We don't have a fucking clue And never will until it's over Choose the view you like and let others choose theirs But they all boil down To the forces of awesome or the forces of bastard Good vs. Evil Positive vs. Negative We're made out of the potentiality for both It's up to us to decide our measures So feed the right habits Armageddon isn't happening outside in the world We might think it's the end of the world But that's because it just might be the end of ours It's playing out individually in all our heads, you see We get to choose the outcome with the way we behave Be your own god and your own devil He's got all the best tunes anyway Look out for the people the universe puts in your path They're there to help us Or for us to help them It's secretly both, shh Be nice and the universe nice is back And if it ever gets a bit much Just go outside and smile at a stranger Catch their eye and spread some happiness You'll get it back tenfold Because if you want to make your world better You make it better for the others around you.
