You broke the mold They’re draining out your blood while you lay their silent 
(I’ll survive if we’re outside) You cracked the code You’re heading toward the light while they bang on your eyelids (I’m all question marks) Some get caught up in indecision Some own up to their bad decisions We’re all alone You found me in the flood but the rain was silent
(Don’t make it right by drawing lines) We’re all the One You taught me how to dance when the song gets violent
(your pen has died) Some regret making no decision There’s no such thing as no decision Starlight, struggle, tear soaked, anything They’re draining out your blood while you lay their silent Straight lines, be kind, rarely, everything You taught me how to dance when the song gets violent GOD, I’m all out of words tonight Let us sit alone There is no one alive in sight We are ALL alone Come in if you can, and stay till it’s late, break in your new shoes, drink in her smile Give up if you can, on trying to change, we’ll drink from this cup, and stay a while Come in if you can, and stay till it’s late, break in your new shoes, drink in her smile
(Holy, mortal, fireside, a cannibal) Hold out while you can, marry your best friend, carry ‘round the curse of knowing Right (Eyes closed, wind-burned, dissolve, swallow your tail) Douse me in light, break at the knees Carry me high-er than the trees Faking play nice, images burned Scars covered up, a You-niverse Bury your name, just fit into place, give in to Love, make room for space GOD in a fuck, hurry to be late, step into your luck, you’re no lost case Throw coins in the well, kick dust on the path, tell stories of how you made it all (Call out my name, no recognition, your lips are under the earth now) Throw coins in the well, kick dust on the path, Tell stories of how you made it all (Forget your name, fall into alignment, go with the Flow, you’re Be-ing Now) They could not communicate anything much clearer They never indicate any peace to the hearer You can overestimate what it’s worth when you’re nearer I could never find my way to the back of the mirror (The shadows cast now inte-grateful for all that is right Now, integrated castaways, Light)

VERSE-1 Whether you are ready or not I’m coming at you like Initiation climbing the staff in the laboratory Salamanders, undines, and gnomes exchange water for fire Transmutation base into Gold, the Sylph to take one higher CHORUS Into the ground, the wheel of “I” suspended Into the sound, the Am is resurrected “I” is the breeze moving yet unaffected “Am” is unfound, yet underneath the sexes Carefully found, the wheel of time has ended Circling around, the ouroboros winded “Eye” cannot See if deposit detected “Am” is the crown, the ceiling and the nexus VERSE-2 Ouroboros matter of Sol, electric kundalini Nourishing the serpent of fire the elementals kindle Parasitic “I” of the mind, who thinks oneself a master Getting one passed Brahma the seminal begins to dwindle BRIDGE In the dead of night, I Am awake in my Bedroom lights creating shadows all a Round we go, I Am afraid of my
GOD I’m right wrong good and bad, I Am That (I AM)

I lost my way back that night Now every day, and every night Has been about me making my climb I found my way back inside Now all I hear, and every sight Is screaming out, “this isn’t your life” We live on fire, we’re breaking free The paralyzed aren’t moving on My lostness was just a dream Now every night, I sink into Life My lullaby is void of a plot Projected onto a screen Now every beat and scene is empty Each character is not what it seems My Holy Ghost haunted me “I” was a ruse made only of thought Cause I Am That which I was seeking All are informations streams Sparks fired off from Source in the dark The astral light is magickally seen I saw my name was a word Two syllables, their moving mouth parts My mother did the best that she could In essence we are no thing The opposite of “we are all one” The underside, a flip of a coin And you inspire new thoughts, a seed We improvise, the Light is on

I caught a glimpse of her, mirrored from far behind I felt a thirst inside, the future looked so bright I offered up a prayer, the gods were locked up tight I never feared the worst, cause destiny is mine Father, you’re breaking me down! Sister, you’re scream’s without sound! I caught a glimpse of her, lonely in silhouette I savored every sigh, and drank in every breath The more I tasted life, the more I let it go I never feared the best, cause naked we must go

(Instrumental)
There is a dark, but rose colored sky And you are large, but scared of the night Clouds come and go, and you feel your pain You threw your pills down into the drain The mountain is steep, the valley is low But you are large, you carry your load The crowds come and go, but she always stays The girl you knew was never afraid of being afraid, of being afraid… Slow down my Heart
 Your Fire’s too hot 
 Go with the flow, try not to force it
 Make no escape, sit still and awkward Burn bright my Heart Know well your worth
 Feel and let go, try not to fake it
 You’re on your own, but you can make it (Instrumental) There is a dark, but rose colored sky And you are known for reaching too high (Instrumental) You caught me alone, magical circle I heard the doorbell, call goes to voicemail Temple of Isis, Love under the Law, Invoke the elementals Alchemies of old, do not fail me Now, ignore the little nasties Engage her free Will, never to override, putting in the overtime Create talisman, sigils to commission, guard Hermes’ chalice well Holy Spirit inside another, post this reddit, share with your brother Work in secret under a cover, monofocal, work for your lover Call it what you will, I’m not your average player
 Keep it in the box, save the best for later
 I Am someone’s son, she is someone’s daughter I will drink it all, peel back every layer If you play your cards, and you magnetize
I You feel your heart, and you know your mind When the moment comes, you will know it’s right You can trust your gut up the mountainside Time slows down GOD’s inside
 Time is Now
 Silent mind
 Covered in layers of old sensibilities Fashioned in spite of entropic proclivities 
Covered in layers of dust and fragility Captioned by those who have opened their Eye to See
