Beneath The Shadows

- See we were never meant to make it out alive
- Yet while we are here we may as well choose to thrive
- Natural habitats and mentalities properly denied
- Many have given in, While others fell off the assembly line
- Tell us what would come of it
- If you possessed but a single wish
- Would you simply gain power and attain riches
- While allowing the collective suffering to persist
- The beauty is interwoven with destruction, this we insist
- The actions of eternity etched upon the endless list
- It must be known the times are changing
- As the days are moving
- And I for one am happy to transition along with it
*The plans are shaken
As nothing is certain
To those that follow
This hollow and bare earth
We are deserting
In hopes to reconcile with a healing affirmation
*New directions and a new destination
- Suddenly I'm locked in a paradigm of my own design
- Leading me to question our unspoken plight
- Is it based upon the law of karma
- Or rather lack of insight
- Thieves give crowded speeches in the light
- As martyrs are persecuted at midnight
- The actions of wrong and right
- Determined by our honest foresight
- Ultimately it depends on you and I
- To do more than simply deny
- Our inner voices, dreams and true drive
- Replace the hardwired need to survive
- With a calming reassurance that we will thrive
*The plans are shaken
As nothing is certain
To those that follow
This hollow and bare earth
We are deserting
In hopes to reconcile with a healing affirmation
*New directions and a new destination

Evening

|
- Fly away pretty mama
- In the ebony sky
- We always knew
- You were one with the twilight
- Spark a little reefer
- At the bell of midnight
- Worried of the morrow
- So you let out a sigh
- Move over my darling
- Your legs take flight
- Let me soothe you
- With a lovely lullaby
*I let her go
To find herself a brighter day
Our love was tainted
By our combined sins and misery
Maybe I'll find her
Within my dreams
Upon an imaginary balcony
*Really though it never appeared to me
- The chances we took
- Condemned us to a private stratosphere
- The lies we provoked
- Proved that our love is a fallacy
To which we adhere
- y appearance
- Is reflected in a singleThe first time you shook
I was watching you in the mirror
By tomorrow you'll send me to the nook
To be honest that’s my fear
You want to come close
Yet you won't come near
My grandiose illusionar
- tear
*I let her go
To find herself a brighter day
Our love was tainted
By our combined sins and misery
Maybe I'll find her
Within my dreams
Upon an imaginary balcony
*Really though it never appeared to me
- Burn me down if that's what is required
- Our love the flame that we inspire
- These passions that stain our manifestations
- Shoulder the burden of our desires
- For the time being I retire
- To my cave where inquired
- If what we shall initiate is to be set to fire

Time Space
04:17
|

|
- What if space is simply an illusion
- And from birth I've been indoctrinated
- Into the grand delusion
- Since the beginning of time
- There's been a sinister institution
- The presence on earth
- Is the only intrusion
- Distorting the facts and misbalancing our vibrations
- I know better than to speak aloud
- This life is unstable, our time is evasive
- So many variables
- Incalculable amounts of situations
- Time space burning, clock is ticking, love incineration
• She said why don't we travel to Antarctica
And see if the world truly is round
If we come upon the edge of the earth
I don't know about you
But I am jumping down
- I'm still waiting for an international invasion
- To encompass every single earthly nation
- The perfect opportunity for the money magicians
- To unleash their plan for eternal globalization
- This ain't friendly, on the contrary, it involves the extermination
- Of the truth and those of us who would provide the opposition
- Give me pain oh lord, grant me salvation
- In the name of love, freedom is the dictation
- Finite progress across and ocean of infinite limitations
- The enticing thoughts, we call that infatuation
- Forsake the uncertain and certainly the mistaken
- Miscalculate a rather dire situation
- Time space burning, clock is ticking, love incineration
*She said why don't we travel to Antarctica
And see if the world truly is round
If we come upon the edge of the Earth
I don't know about you
*But I am jumping down

Masks

- The man with the golden face
- Smiled at once
- His silver torso
- Oh how it glistened in the sun
- His legs made of iron
- Stood strong and fast
- The feet made of mud and clay
- Were never meant to last
- Wandered through eternity
- Attempting to soothe the soul
- But for some reason
- The holy mind held a black hole
- Approached the gate
- But had no coins to pay the toll
- Removed his ear and handed it over
- Once again free to roam
• See the symbolic harmony
A piece of yourself in everything
Although the conflicted mind is aplenty
Only you can free yourself of the mental ring
Sometimes we lose ourselves
Autopilot, no control once again
Only you hold salvation
• Your fixation on eternity
- The road was long and winded
- Yet the man saw the path before him
- Chasing
- Chasing freedom and love
- Knowing his mistakes were forgiven
- Didn't believe in a hell
- And he never saw proof of heaven
- Redemption was all he sought after
- To live a life he was not pretending
- The age was coming to an end
- This was a common fact
- Looked to the desert sky
- The stars pointed him on the right direction
• See the symbolic harmony
A piece of yourself in everything
Although the conflicted mind is aplenty
Only you can free yourself of the mental ring
Sometimes we lose ourselves
Autopilot, no control once again
Only you hold salvation
• Your fixation on eternity
- The truths he fought
- Were in the mind, an epiphany
- The road to release
- Were mere fables and soliloquies
- Yet the dreams that guided
- His own conscious entity
- Led him into the ocean
- Where he rests momentarily
- Forged by the elements
- And bathed in complexity
- The answer at the end of the road is to live in simplicity
Only then will you truly be free.

Trance Of Chance
03:24
|
|||
|
- Living in extraordinary circumstances
- Had plenty of lovers
- Before you, never any romances
- I've always been one to take these chances
- Yet firm is where my stance is
- Walked away in moon light
- Illuminates everything in sight
- My heart is warm
- Yet my hands are cold
- Mary in my veins, whisky in my brain
- Promise to remember me as you grow old
*See I just can't get you out if my head
Get out of my head and into my bed
I just can't get you into my head
A million miles, the path I must tread
I just can't get you out of my head
Maybe I forgot the last thing you said
Just can't get you out of my head
*Get out of my head, and into my bed
- The honest man is filled with lead
- The newborn baby cannot be fed
- The intellect who tried to get ahead
- The masses, don't know where to tread
- We seek bliss in the opinions of others
- While our own truths are missed
- Conform to a calming mentality
- Even if deep within you persist
- On loving me, yet aloud you insist
- That our love was nothing more than a myth
*See I just can't get you out if my head
Get out of my head and into my bed
I just can't get you into my head
A million miles, the path I must tread
I just can't get you out of my head
Maybe I forgot the last thing you said
Just can't get you out of my head
*Get out of my head, and into my bed

Twilight Vision
03:34
|
|||
|
- My dreams are forever fading
- Awaken to a different life
- The obsolete colors of tomorrow
- Serenade away into the light
- The task is ever daunting
- Loving tears tainted with strife
- As we purge our emotional discrepancies
- We taunt the meaning of lies
- Who knows if the memories
- Will merge with the stars tonight
- If they happen to, we shall behold such a sight
*Pour me another glass there lovely
Don't make belief
You know there's a darker side of me
That tends to bare his teeth
And moan like a banshee
In moments of blissful grief
Letting go is never easy
*Yet holding on puts you to sleep
- The choices we make, we force this moment into a prolonged frenzy
- Even though the motion was always ours to keep
- Engaged by various temptations
- Make sure they are discrete
- For we were never permanent
- This love we make is not concrete
- Every night we lay awake
- Wondering who will retreat
- And as our bodies unite under
- The banner of insanity
- We realize negative dependencies
- Are the core of Humanity
*Pour me another glass there lovely
Don't make belief
You know there's a darker side of me
That tends to bare his teeth
And moan like a banshee
In moments of blissful grief
Letting go is never easy
*Yet holding on puts you to sleep
