Levity
03:47
|
|||
All the luxuries in this life become so expensive
The only way to survive is to transcend this third dimension
Today I am certain that material ownership eventually evolves into burden
And the Gods we can see, smell, hear, touch and feel just aren't worth the worship
Forget the propaganda you've been told
You are the only one who can save your soul
Disconnect these insecurities from the whole that gives you gravity
All along you've defined purity. Keep this in mind when you die, and you'll find levity.
Stop awaiting instruction from those who feel that they can define dysfunction
The blind leading the blind will trailblaze a path that is the path to destruction
Every moment of my existence I dedicate to acheiving ascension
Not accepting the bullshit and lies that everyone else has presented
Everything that you've known to be true
is nothing compared to the light already in you
Disconnect these insecurities from the whole that gives you gravity
All along you've defined purity. Keep this in mind when you die, and you'll find levity.
If I lived with these lies
Until the moment that ended my life
Carrying them with my pride
Would turn me into a poltergeist

Come A Little Closer
03:18
|

I don't know what's comin over me
Revelations develop slowly
Something previously failed to see
Energy coming into view
Some kind of divine spark within you
But sub consciously always knew
I feel you're all too far
So come a little closer, why don't cha?
I'm feeling it all too hard
Come a litter closer
Suddenly a moment defines forever
Even if we don't quite remember
Parting before this speck of eternity
Yet somehow you always find your way back to me
I feel you're all too far
So come a little closer, why don't cha?
I'm feeling it all too hard
Come a litter closer
Show me a sign
So come a little closer, why don't cha?
You could be mine
Come a litter closer
I'll give you time to recognize
That we've been traversing the same line
Gravitating toward the center
Rendezvous' deja vu, just remember
me.

Get Out Of Worcester
03:31
|

Good riddance. I enjoyed my stay
I'm just a little anxious sitting in place
I never could display hometown pride so easily
I guess I could still use a little more scenery
Don't ask why my residential
Has maxed out its potential
Thanks for all the lessons
But I've overstayed my welcome
You gotta get me on the fastest train out of Worcester
I just can't be here any longer
I'm sure I'll miss all of my friends and family
But I could surely do without my sketchy neighbors, they're fuckin scary
Goodbye crack dealers on main south
Discount whores with sores on their mouth
But I can't say the times were all bad
It made my character ironclad
You gotta get me on the fastest train out of Worcester
I just can't be here any longer
Industrial wasteland producing nothing but stagnant air
I don't care, My destination could be anywhere anywhere
And maybe someday from the other end of the tracks
I'll be smiling when I look back
and I'll appreciate this silly little town
But that's not meant to happen right now

I am a magic illusion
Like how a rabbit appears in the heat of conufusion
How did I get here and where have I been
My life is a faded diary and a dried up pen
But I'm runnin out of time
I'm not as young as everyone with a million more steps to climb
I am a little too late for the games children play
Been too busy coping with all these passings away
If I were just a little more savvy
I'd know how to make myself happy
But for now I run with this gang
Me and my friends against the grain
I am a clown and this is my makeup
Can't afford to have you see me naked
Where I have scars. Ask me how they were made.
I'll reply, you'll make them someday, someday when you're old and grey
I'm past 20 with no teenage wisdom
The past 10 years like a gap from a cataclysm
I made the jump, and I made the fall
When I hit rock bottom will I feel anything at all?
I'm still running away
From the pain, of something that won't happen again
I'm still running away
From the person I was then, who said all the things that he never meant
I have my friends, I have my pills, I have my soul in my instrument
In my van with the world right in front of me is where this story began
I keep running away. I keep running...

Matrix

It's just an illusion baby
Just how we perceive it
I wish you could see beyond the sky
The truth is past the night
Your body is a prison
You have ears that won't listen
To all the sounds that you've been missin'
Try and leave it, you won't
If you feel that this is home
They're just shadow puppets
Talking in the dark
These are just pieces of paper
But you couldn't tear them apart
Blindfolded adolescents
Intoxicated by the taste of suffering
Get high, get wasted
Off the honey dripping off these pyramids
Mind your business and support this business
Riches are in your best interest
Megaphones and gibberish
aren't enough to spay the bitch

Sweet 16

Need an answer to
Why I'm not like you
16 and I know who I am, you see
I am whoever you couldn't possibly be
16 and I understand
All of what my future has planned
Sweet 16, they say I'm so young
So why do I know more than everyone?
Sweet 16, not a day older
Then why does my life feel like it's over?
Anger is not an enemy
In fact it seems to be the only friend to me
School is such a waste of a day
Hating everything is a truth I'd hate to say
When will I ever be in charge
Still haven't had a moment of control so far
Sweet 16, they say I'm so young
So why do I know more than everyone?
Sweet 16, not a day older
Then why does my life feel like it's over?
It's been a long time and I've had enough
All I ever wanted was love

I Am

Don't let the world tell you what you are
Anything you want to be, you can be, it's not that hard
Use your creativity to shape your reality
Anything you imagine, You can even be a dragon
I'm Ghengis Khan, I'm Chaka Khan, Half unicorn, half leprechaun
Straight, gay, bisexual, what's my size? It's actual
I'm telling you its factual that fiction is more than fantastical
If I'm made of love I can make me up, It's not that tough, and that's what's up
Creation stems from your imagination
I am whatever I say I am, I am and
Anything I wanna be, I'm Gonna be
And that's pretty sweet.
I am whatever I say I am, I am and
I'm not ashamed to say that
I am awesome, yeah, I'm pretty damned awesome
More than just a biological entity
You are sentient, relevant, exceptionally
gifted being balanced in your brain hemispheres
but not because i say so, know what you wanna know, hear with your own ears
I can be a superhero alien martial arts master
You can be a normal human, if you wanna just be stupid
I am a white African American woman
I don't care, if you don't, think so, You're not me, so how the hell would you know?
I am whatever I say I am, I am and
Anything I wanna be, I'm Gonna be
And that's pretty sweet.
I am whatever I say I am, I am and
I'm not ashamed to say that
I am awesome, yeah, I'm pretty damned awesome
I am whatever I say I am, I am and
I'm free to be me, and what is me?
oh, me is free
(to say that)
I am whatever I say I am, I am and
I am quite obliged to say that
I'm pretty cool, yeah, I'm pretty darn cool
Imagination could be manifestation
Who am I? That is the question. You'll know by your own expression.
You can be anything, when you are one with everything
Internal realization becomes slowly integrated
When projected into the collective mind of external information

Do we walk
With our heads in the sand?
Shame we have to point out
that the sky is full of plans
Colorblindness spreads to shapes
as we close these blinds and close these drapes
Our eyes are closing vertically
It narrows the field of what we see
Daily programming
is modern all seeing
Truth becomes punishment but does it fit the crime?
Of thinking nothings wrong and that everything is fine
Do we sleep
in a chemically enhanced sea?
Toxic water takes you down with it
Before you even have a chance to drown in it
Media mimicry
Keeps our minds in perfect symmetry
you keep the mystery in the airplanes
if you keep your eyes on the ad campaigns
unique thoughts metabolize
at the rate the dead rise
Truth becomes punishment but does it fit the crime?
Of thinking nothings wrong and that everything is fine
The obvious is evidence, does it register in our minds?
When everything is perfect and everything is fine
Everything is under control
including the people
Your thoughts aren't your own
The first humans have been cloned

Procrastination
02:54
|

You're always counting on, some disaster
To make you move just a little bit faster
When are you gonna make a move?
When will you'll make a stride?
Everything you need to know is already in your head
All the power you need is already in your hands
You're always counting on, dates and figures
Though change is constantly on the tips of your fingers
When will you take a stand?
And let your voice recreate the plan?
Everything you need to know is already in your head
All the power you need is already in your hands
The outcome is waiting on you to make it true
Now is the time to do what you came to do
Throw your inhibitions down
Sit back but stand your ground
Procrastination sets the destination to the land of regret
Your worst fear will be there wating for you, but only if you let it

Forgiveness
07:40
|
|||
Such a long time
Since we've been intertwined
We separated
Quickly evaporated
Something I did?
or a thought I hid?
To learn behind the scenes
Was a yearning beyond your means
Four years have past
since I strayed from the path
And even after the truth
I had forgiven you
And now
Every day
I sit and patiently wait
for forgiveness
from you too
Such an eternity
Since the disconnect
We haven't made a promise yet
That we've kept
You keep holding on
To a principle
That's choking me out
With the grip of a tentacle
We break from tradition
And we love with condition
Without any mention
Of underlying tension
