pulse of the world
03:45
|
|||
|
i've had a reoccurring dream,
i've always wondered what it means.
a melody that persists
a renewed soul forgetting it exists
this is the pulse of the world
this is the song of the world
resounding fear
that the end draws near
retrace the line of hope
uplifting stories told

the silver lining
03:51
|
|||
|
de facto prince in it for long,
an iron tongue.
antagonizing, but made the run.
the silver lining
was made in the sun,
but washed out.
no matter what you will do,
it's not enough.
immersed in it since day one,
all he knew.
to prove to himself,
and to you
that he could.
the silver spoon tightly in hand,
he set out.

mandala
04:10
|

|
time dulls the wounds
that we've felt,
should we choke on the past
in this present moment?
where everything is happening,
but nobodies listening,
not this time.
cyclical dream of the universe
sprinting backwards towards rebirth.
stuck here in this infinite loop,
no doubt of my own doing.
lessons repeating,
just beating, and breeding,
and feeding,
no concept of disaster
'cause everything is happening,
but nobodies listening,
not this time.
we all waited for the world to end,
but it never came.
life went on, we continued to evolve
we continued to mistakes
to make mistakes
the same mistakes,
the same mistakes.
oh wow, look at me
now I'm in France!
now I'm climbing a tree!
now I'm with Rhianna,
now I'm in space,
now I'm an embarrassment
to the human race.
forgiveness should be
the drug we take,
before our hearts harden,
and our souls break.

inoculated
04:46
|
|||
|
dance! in your own suit,
don't forget to get it vaccinated,
absolute. the business of the jaded
makes the world go round,
'til it's posted up and faded.
I seem to be burned from
this eternal conundrum,
wonder what is right...
I seem to have learned from
the mistakes in continuum,
try as I might.
I seem to be burned from
this eternal conundrum,
but I'll push it out of sight.
down, in denial
is everything really trying to kill us?
...and what does it matter?
it's just another method to control.
the lives in the balance
and they're asking the wrong questions,
a constant stream of malice
for another one of themselves,
just dressed up in a different skin.
you couldn't see the light from it all.

dust mask
04:10
|
|||
|
how can I take off this mask,
move along a different path?
I hate collecting nothing,
this has to count for something.
all fucking day,
it's eating me away.
half of what we say,
a reflection of what we take.
remember when your eyes were open,
you shared yourself.
remember when your heart was open,
you questioned yourself.
just another prick in the world,
who can see another's faults
easier that his own,
reaping what he has sown.
assume no actions,
this is karmic inter-relatedness,
the thriving of the fabric of the real
woven with crosshatches
of absolute nihilism
and the hopeless devotion
to all superficially physical.
go through the motions,
stand by while you yourself
in all things not present
suffocating from the absence
of the practice of Truths.

nunquam dormio
05:50
|

|
mild altercation
strangest vacation
phone conference
roll call
this is the new way,
and how are you okay?
a program change
but it doesn't fit quite right,
stay home.
tomorrow is another day,
but how are you okay?
program change
in the middle of the night,
caught you sleeping
...but now you are awake, right?
change the station
take back a nation
why can't we get along?
always in a battle with ourselves,
even though we're doing the same thing.
don't you forget that we're slaves,
to men who don't have any names.
gyrating out of control,
pages turn and we don't even know,
then the stories over.
