“The Search”
To get what what’s wanted fall at the feet
of one’s own mercy
Building walls attempting to run through
Put down that stack of bricks
The greatest misconception, is that the limit of your perception is the limit of all there is to perceive
So much to learn and know embrace the world and she will show you’re always in search of living
Future hold’s nothing that can’t be
held in trembling hands
A life that’s led will soon be said
in a cushioned burial bed
Take the time to come alive
What’s asleep in the deep dark blue ocean of ourselves?
Creepy crawly beauty things that beg to be seen
We creatures caught in habit
If only to venture out and grab it
An elusive reclusive flame that drives
Sleeveless trick is to surrender to
the flow of human experience
So why the hesitation?

Unspoken

Inhumanity done swift with ease but so eager to deny
Someone has to call them out
Expose them for who they really are
If we don’t speak then who will listen?
When nobody talks, no one can hear
Fear should be the forgotten son who’s been abandoned
No bliss in ignorance
Apathy will keep you on your knees
Got to cut off the upper hand
You’re not as helpless as you think
The power resides in you
So move act alter the place you’re in
The problem won’t go away if you just cover your eyes
Say something
Do something
Start something
Make something better somehow
Refuse to be quiet

Seems there’s no hope here in this age
Madness insanity, try to escape
But there’s one solution that I have found
Screaming and chanting vibration sound
We are helpless and struggling
Mental illusion is blinding
Pretend to be free, pull off the mask
Seek the truth, Counterblast
32 letters and 16 words
A path to freedom from all things under and above
This war, this fight has a sure end
If anyone says the name they can transcend
Dream walkers can’t see or hear
It’s time to…WAKE UP
Wake up, from your sleep
Wake up, yeah
Wake up, from your sleep

I Vow

Shadows from far, masks worn long ago
A memory of what was once lost and found again
Isolation, transmutation, metamorphosis
New reality taking shape
The glass is clear, see through me; give it all
A lion has come to crush my demons and guide me to the right
I’m not the man few once knew
Truth slays with its sword
The blade is at this neck
I accept the blame
No longer running free
Captivity
Naked, vulnerable and shedding flesh
To liberate from a hell I’ve place my bones in
Swollen belly release twice born, into another form rise once more
Losing false identity.
Rinse, dry, repeat.
Pure soul fire.
Eyes not blind.
It feels good to not hold back.
Won't take the bait or fall into a trap
This is how it's supposed to be
Nothing left but sincerity

In this position of anger, turmoil and strife
I often wonder what the purpose is of this life
To wander and suffer like the first footsteps of a child
A constant state of uncertainty where nothing is worthwhile
Dying of a deep hunger and we don’t know what to eat
Serpents spit venom in the milk that was meant to be sweet
Need some guidance and shelter so that I can find
A way to cleanse the dust from the mirror of the mind
In this place of discomfort and hatred
Losing touch with the things that are divine and sacred
Trying so hard to keep from going over the edge
Need some balance and protection around us
to shield from the enemy
But what if all along the intruder was me?
The earth is fading and it won’t last
Destroying creation quick and fast
Override the actions of the past
We must save ourselves
To point the blame is just a waste of time
A brush with guilt is unkind
The sins one can’t cover or deny
We must save ourselves
Save yourself, Save yourself

Break The Chain
03:07

Out of the darkness and into the light
Struggle to gain some insight
I want to see all things with true equal vision
But there’s something holding me
Material cloud, it’s covering
False ego grabs shackles my feet
and keeps this spirit from moving
But I believe in the effort made
Trying and failing to break the chain
Going all out alone, rely on self
Crawl and bleed till there’s nothing left
I cry to the sky begging for deliverance
Open this heart, so ugly and cold
Gonna take a lot to leave and let it go
What’s the alternative? Comfortable unhappiness?
Praying and burning for something more than this
Hanging on dangling at the end,
If I lose my grip the evil will slip in
Have to stay strong, depend on that which is higher
To be at peace is my only desire
I won’t turn away
I won’t run and hide
Who I really am is buried deep inside, dying for release

Reduced to skeleton
What can I take from you?
Slave mentality, don’t tell them that they’re beautiful
Addiction diminishes value
Shame surrounds your every step
This is the dance of the dead
Self murder abuse, nature an excuse
And I’m guilty too, must regain control
Hellish possession dwindles your existence
Sick is sick, have to admit and you know you know it
When everything is physical
we only get half of the gold
Another sucker sells themselves short
I’m in the side seat, someone else is driving
We’re picking up speed, there’s no sign of stopping
One after the other and on to the next mistakes
I want to grab the wheel and slam the brakes…
right now

Running Behind

All these plans are grand
Can’t seem to get it from space and on a line
Tried before, close the door
Everyone that’s in is laughing at those on the outside
If it’s so simple, not much to do
Then how is it that my chance has not come to me?
They say persistence is the key
Unfulfilled and empty
I ask WHY?
You will find a way
