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

Dress Rehearsal
02:46
|
|||
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!

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

The Real Is The Moment
03:05
|

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

Dissolve and Integrate
02:24

1.
YOU WRITE YOUR NAME LIKE THAT
YOU STYLE YOUR HAIR LIKE THAT
AND IN THE MORNING YOU ARISE
WITH GRACE YOU’RE POISED IN YOUR DISGUISE
AND FROM A DISTANCE I OBSERVE
IT’S IN THE WAY THAT YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT
YOU ARE THE LIGHT
IT’S IN THE WAY THAT YOU’RE SATISFIED
2.
YOU HAVE FUN IN YLOUR CAR
YO PAINT YOUR AVATAR
AND IN THE EVENING YOU DELIGHT
TO SEE THROUGH SPACE AND TIME
AND FROM A DISTANCE I OBSERVE
IT’S IN THE WAY THAT YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT
YOU ARE THE LIGHT
IT’S IN THE WAY THAT YOU’RE SATISFIED
DISSOLVE AND THEN INTEGRATE

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
