The Search 03:38
“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?
2.
Unspoken 02:55
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 03:17
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
6.
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
7.
Skeletons 03:12
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
8.
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
