The sky is black tonight The moon is hiding from you now It’s nothing personal The rain is falling fairly down Don’t let your thoughts get out of hand, You are enough Don’t hold your breath, you know the future never comes Holding your old-self to the Fire Learning your Love can not run out Holding the answer to the Light Finding the meaning in this life When you can barely see It’s time to let your eyes adjust Don’t put your heart away I’ve seen some good ones fade away Don’t let your thoughts get out of hand, You are enough Don’t hold your breath, you know the future never comes Holding your old-self to the Fire Learning your Love can not run out Holding the answer to the Light Finding the meaning in this life A thought in my mind says I Am alive A smudge on the wall says that I should breed The voice on the screen says to fear the night The light in your eyes is enough for me Did I ask to come here for a time Did GOD play a trick with some weighted dice Can’t you see that that nothing here is real And everyone here just needs to heal I’ll keep going on while it’s still light I’m no longer terrified of night I’ll keep writing songs in the dead of night I’m no longer terrified of life

SOMETIMES I CRY, UNIVERSAL ONE TIME I DIED, DRESS REHEARSAL IN A DREAM REMEMBERING ALL IS A BADLY DRAWN THING HERE TRAJECTORIES ARE A PROJECTION OF ALL I AM, I’M SO BAD AT THIS, BUT I’M GETTING BETTER MAYBE GLORY IS A MYTH, BUT MY HEART BEATS TRUER MY HEART, IT KNOWS THINGS — AND I AM NO THING IN LOVE I PEN THIS: YOU ARE THAT PARENTS CHOSEN, ALL ARE ACTORS WHEEL OF KARMA, NOT A FACTOR

I saw the look in my eyes You called me inferno Underneath a surprise We’re all ones and zeros I knew just where to go It’s not the love that you gave to me After a while it just clicked with me It was the love that I gave to you What I was after was never outside of me All forms of love are really masturbatory All players in this skit are writing the story The drug that I was after, thought it was out there Until I peeled off all my skin, ripped out my hair There’s no such thing as selfishness You saw yourself in my eyes I called you electric Without any makeup on You carved out a sex trick

 You knew just where to go It’s not the love that you gave to me After a while it just clicked with me It was the love that I gave to you What I was after was never outside of me All forms of love are basking in our own glory All players in this skit are writing the story The drug that I was after, thought it was out there Until I peeled off all my skin, ripped out my hair There’s no such thing as selfishness Occulted beats: [ 7 / 8 (“electric”=yin ching) - 5 / 8 (“inferno”=yang ching) ]

Corollary 02:34
I can see the corollary Underneath the ordinary
Divine expression must vary
All of this is momentary
 Now, I might be the Ocean Here, everlasting—Here, we are crashing Now, I can see you’re glowing
Here, you’re elixir—Hey! I’m the center I can be the falling cherry
Underneath the golden fairy True nature too hot to carry All of this is temporary
 Now, I might be the Ocean Here, everlasting—Here, we are crashing Now, I can see you’re glowing
Here, you’re elixir—Hey! I’m the center I’m no longer waiting, waiting Here is all I Am, it’s Now OR I’m no longer waiting Now is I Am

I was not shone, I’ve only known Love I was not born, I will not die, Home
 I never left Home I’m sorry for being sorry for being, I was a mess then (I was a mess then!)
 I thought I was beliefs, I did not know who, I was without them Force me into a box, so that I can just break out, back my self into a corner (I’m not afraid to die, what makes me terrified, is living with a lie)
 Take me out of my zone, make my heart rate increase, life is good when its harder (I’ve made my father cry, I’ve seen my brother high, I’ve seen my mother take her own life!) I was not shone, I! I’ve only known, WAS! I was not born, NOT! Never left Home, SHONE!
 
 I was not shone, I! I’ve only known, ON! I was not born, LY! Never left Home, KNOW! 
 LOVE
 We! Don’t! Ex! Ist! It makes me larger, It makes me larger, in spirit (YES!), in spirit (YES!), in spirit (YES!)
 It’s helps with Seeing, it helps me die to what 
 I’m not! I’m not! I’m not! I’m not! It helps with Knowing who I AM! I AM! I AM! I AM! I was not shone, I! I’ve only known, WAS! I was not born, NOT! Never left Home, SHONE!
 
 I was not shone, I! I’ve only known, ON! I was not born, LY! Never left Home, KNOW! I was a mess then! Default Settings

You’re on your own Now (You’re on your own Now) I poured my self out to see into the bottom An empty cup is easily filled up I’m thirsty for Being That which I Am Now
Without all the cobwebs, my vision is cleared up
 You’re on your own Now (You’re on your own Now) (bgv: If all that is is really not, then who Am I and what is GOD You’re on your own Now (You’re on your own Now) (bgv: If all that is is really not, then who Am I and what is GOD It’s hard to believe that I’m One with everyone
Cause I’ve seen some bad eggs, I nearly killed one The surface is filled up with mostly nothing And space is a vacuum, and time is just made up You’re on your own Now (You’re on your own Now) (bgv: If all that is is really not, then who Am I and what is GOD You’re on your own Now (You’re on your own Now) (bgv: If all that is is really not, then who Am I and what is GOD I’ve seen this one before, our hero dies
Right before he gets to taste his life
Right before the house turns out the lights
Right in time to learn that he can’t die (lydian mode) We’re on our own Now (gang vx: We’re on our own Now) (bgv: If all that is is really not, then who Am I and what is GOD We’re on our own Now (gang vx: We’re on our own Now) (bgv: If all that is is really not, then who Am I and what is GOD

WE TAKE OUR TIME, IT LASTS LONGER WE DID AN ABOUT-FACE, WE WENT THE OTHER WAY THE JOURNEY’S A CONCEPT, THE REAL IS THE MOMENT NOW WE WASTE OUR TIME, WE LIVE LONGER WE DID AN ABOUT-FACE, WE WENT THE OTHER WAY THE JOURNEY’S A CONCEPT, THE REAL IS THE MOMENT FROM THE MOMENT THAT I WAS BORN I’VE BEEN OBJECTIFIED—IT’S THE NORM DURING THOSE YEARS I PLAYED THE GAME LABELS JUST WOULDN’T STICK—YOU ARE THE SAME IN THAT MOMENT BEFORE I WAS BORN I MUST HAVE REALIZED ‘I AM THAT’ IN THIS MOMENT I FEEL MY HEART AND I’M NOT AFRAID OF JUST BEING

Fake News 02:22
Fear, it makes me rigid Blowing in the wind, I hope this comes out right Tears, in case you missed it Going with the Tao, I know it’s how we turn out right All day in the sunlight We prep for a dark night And we’re craving satire ‘Cause laughin’ just feels right (Cause iiiiiiiiiiiiii)
I’m not falling for your fake news (Cause iiiiiiiiiiiiii) I’m not pretending that we get to choose When the ground is cracking, and everybody runs to choose a side And as I feel my feet slipping, while I reach for the rope thrown from the Right And when our cities are burning, and everybody starts to run and hide I ask if we’re deserving for a chance to make things right … while the fires burn through the night

I’m fresh out of prison It wasn't that bad I see my reflection I‘ll learn who I AM •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The fire, the fire, it’s burning •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• What kept me from growing Does not seem that bad I see my potential I’ll learn who I AM •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The fire, the fire, it’s burning You’ve got to stay wet with the yearning The fire, the fire, it’s burning If pain is a classroom, I’m learning The fire, the fire, it’s burning How we all got here is what keeps us small The fire, the fire, it’s burning The fire keeps burning in each of us all •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• “It sound like a personal problem” “You learn something new every day” “I’m living the dream,” it’s unnerving The platitudes that we all say •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• If it’s happened there must be a reason Windows and doors and cliches We desperately cling to the model While all that we hold slips away •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• When I lose my keys I asks Jesus If He will make my day OK We all came up worshipping statues And grasping at what cannot stay •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I stare into everyone’s eyeballs To say what I never can say When I speak of Home, it’s just Knowing That proving would get in the way •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• We all know that fear is contagious We see the effect every day But Jesus and Buddha and Slajchert Know better we just look away •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I’m tasting a personal flavor It’s bigger than anything here The flow is above & beneath me We’ve got to become it to hear/see •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• It echoes with each inhalation The embers are orange and green The blockages cleared in the evening In the morning you’ll see hear I mean •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The fire, the fire, it’s burning The fire, the fire, it’s burning

I thought that you could use some... I thought that you could use some space
 Eleven seconds pass
 Do you think this is some kind of race Hey, now that moment’s passed Can you taste the irony You run alienated from your Self 
 (the Silent Watcher) Can you feel the energy The space between your breathing is your Self 
(the Silent Watcher)

 I thought that you could use some Love Behind the foggy glass Do you think this is some kind of hug Hey, now that moment’s passed Can you taste the irony You run alienated from your Self 
 (the Silent Watcher) Can you feel the energy The space between your breathing is your Self 
(the Silent Watcher)

 The space between the space The space between the space The space between the space between the space

Back in 99 is when I met my wife We were not terrified Our parents said to wait, ‘had our entire lives
‘Could hardly wait the night I wrote a whiny song and sang it over Skype
And then we wrote our lives
We jumped in hand in hand, we were not paralyzed ‘Cause fear’s always a lie 
 I’ll call you neighbor, I’m not afraid of our hands I’ll take a deep breath, I will not distance myself I’ll use your first name, you’ll know I speak from the heart I’ll raise your fist bump, I will not cover my mouth In the dead of night are you terrified Do you run and hide Are you tuned into and endless stream of thought Do you want to die Out in broad daylight are you opting out Do you want to try In a sea of knives are you making eyes Do you buy the lies I’ll call you neighbor, I’m not afraid of our hands I’ll take a deep breath, I will not distance myself I’ll use your first name, you’ll know I speak from the heart I’ll raise your fist bump, I will not cover my mouth 
I’ll Be in the Now, I’m not afraid of our hands
I’ll trust my body, I will not distance myself I’ll pour my self out, you know I’ll speak form the heart I’ll reject your elbow, and then I’ll sneeze in your mouth … yeah, I’ll cough into your mouth
… and we will live in the Now … I’m not afraid of your mouth … we will not cover our mouths
