Is it too late to turn this ship around?
With one little paddle
Let this be the high water mark
Cast off the shackles
Gone on for too long
This nonsense
In this waking dream it may appear that it makes sense
Oh but I find it curious
That people self police the status quo when under threat
Illusory Divide
The very first of all lies
To come between you and I
The truth in light of your eyes
It’s not too late to turn this ship around
With our one little paddle
There is always a choice we need not fight
To win the battle
Nor should you lay down with the rest
Draw a little target upon your chest
Oh but I find it curious
Cities full of people in apathetic loneliness
Illusory Divide
The very first of all lies
To come between you and I
Intuition we ignore
How can it be that we
Still make war?
Look to those things
You know for sure
How ‘bout instead
How ‘bout instead
We smash down these stone temples
That we’ve built inside our head

Please don’t shout
If you don’t really care
Don’t go in
They don’t want you in there
Well it’s nice to meet you
But don’t shake my hand
Oh it’s the overarching mystery
Of people when they let you see
The hatred of the world in their eyes
Where’s it born?
And where’s it born?
Please don’t you doubt
The innumerable snares
That Lie in wait
For the people who dare
To ask a question
Or make their demands
Well it’s written in the histories
But it remains a mystery
The hatred that has poisoned our minds
Where’s it born?
And where’s it born?

Executive hours
And golden showers
I’m imagining the powers at be to be
Sittin’ in their towers and smokin’ flowers
Of a most exotic variety
Suppose we chose this
State of Psychosis
Scramblin’ for the fable of currency
Trading your time for a shiny dime
While you’re living out the plebian destiny
Decrees they write
The weight we bear
It’s bleak the plight
The slaves of fear
Malevolent pastimes
Invisible confines
Building of the cages we cannot see
Midnight laughter
‘Bout a grand disaster
Celebrating deepest depravity
Decrees they write
The weight we bear
It’s bleak the plight
Oh the slaves of fear
Well it only hurts
Yes it only works
When believing these deceivers have one name
Well it’s all the same
Tell me who’s to blame
For believing these deceivers to be saints

Dream Dissonance

Felt the gift of aeons wilt
Expiring
Rage uncoils
Dragging me from my revelry
Purposeful the flame of ire
Carries me out over the sea
Intention quelling any doubt
Of how I’ll get to where I need to be
The veil between our two worlds
Distends to allow for
Alignment of vibration
Creation of a new door
In this place of no time
A clock marks my arrival
The cold stare of a great stone eye
Reminds me what I came for
I await without waiting
The next phase
Birthing meaning through the maze
The subtle recognition by
Transcendent self
The true extent of our disease
And the path to health
The keepers of this confine
Can’t always account for
The boundaries of our playpen
The seekers of so much more
In this place of no time
I am beyond denial
Empowered by the truth I hold
I step up to the trial
And there you are…
Callous and abrasive to my being
Where is it we go when we are (dreaming)?
Everything as much as it is not
Always and never
Forever now
So I come face to face with my shadow
The darkness that claws for the marrow of my solace
And here in the face of my shadow
The talons that claw for my fallow ground
Without a sound
And I’ll reach my frozen grave
Before bowing to this..

Ego Tripping

Raise my chin
Flash a grin
All that begins must have an end
Flashy style for a while
Will you scowl or will you smile?
Before it melts away
Before it’s gone
Self righteous justifications
As we ride upon the backs of
The oppressed and downtrodden
(And so the one implies the many, and many imply one
And so it goes in and out
It’s a systole & diastole
An in-breathing an out-breathing
Because the whole thing about the one
Is that it pretends to be many
See see that’s the gimmick
Now you see it
Now you don’t
Now you see it
Now you don’t)
Why do people idolise people
Who idolise themselves?
Worship of ego
And circular thinking
Creating your personal hell

Save me from myself
your eyes they plead
If only I could help relieve your suffering
A cautionary tale
to those with Mired wings
Don't be led astray
By the ones who don't mind if you just waste away
Your world is an ice berg
The course you set should be the one that you choose
But under the surface
the order of things forgotten formative blues
Diving into
Cold black water to find
Hiding old news
Intact and wreaking havoc inside
Save us from ourselves
The wise they seek
To find the things to help
Relieve our suffering
A cautionary tale
For those with Mired Wings
The slow become the prey
Round yeah we chase it around
Yeah we chase it around
Round yeah we chase it around
Yeah we chase it around
Round runnin' around & round & round
Chasing your tale around
Till the end of Time
Save me from myself
Your eyes they scream
Only you can help relieve your suffering
A hope instilling tale
for those with Mired Wings
Love will have it's way
So when it comes around
Don't you chase it away

This caustic scar
Upon blazing star
One careless step
Brings consequence
There are new things here
There is darkness in this place of two
Come and sleep in time
Paying penance for forgotten dues
And do you trust?
Do as you must
There are new things here
There is darkness in this place of two
Come and sleep in time
Paying penance for forgotten dues

Is it a sound?
Something so discreet
The roots of this noxious weed, grown deep
The hair on my neck
The look in her eye
And would you know danger if it passed you right by?
This unease comes and goes but really
Does it die? or is it just sleeping?
Imagining things
This burgeoning doubt
Chalking up my battle to a full blown rout
If by design
Malicious and cruel
Fucking with my rhythm till I am a bumbling fool
This unease such a subtle creature
You think you're winning till you see that it's beat ya
My hand in a fist wrapped 'round my keys
Waiting in my pocket for the need
Was this general sense of unease
had me searching shadows and clenching my teeth
oh no no no
I see you there
You little rascal
No don't you dare
Oh no no no
I see you there
You little devil
You wouldn't dare

(Dismemberment
Falling apart
Losing control
Losing Unity, let’s disintegrate
And then after you’ve been dismembered
Let’s remember
And come back to oneself
And know
Who it really was all the time…)
Through our cold
White knuckled grip
Questions rise
Who am I?
Where do I fit?
From these we hide
And for the bold
Who take the trip
The veil is thrown aside
Released from the world
Of felt limits
With truth we realign
The self recognition of the self
With no separation
The infinite In everlasting exploration
Reunion with a sigh
The answer In the why
I am timeless, formless love
Dimethyltryptamine
Clarity to my waking dream
Will you mourn
This person that you have been?
And if you’re open
You might see
The gravity of what this all means
(The game of hide and seek)
Breaking through
Breaking through

When One is Shown
06:01

The knave of spite
Bitter for all that is not
While
He baths in light
Mostly oblivious
Of his own life
His cage he decries
These lips
Sealed tight
Open up tonight
These gifts denied
Only pain you will find
Holding it all inside
So fine
The swift disassembly
Of all that was thought to be known
When one is shown why
Continue to play the part of the pauper
When you sit upon the throne?
And it’s so fine
The swift disassembly
Of all that was thought to be known
When one is shown why
Continue to play the part
Play the part
Play the part
When one is Shown

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.
