Giving into it is feeding into it Buried into my own head in here But finding rest in it Is seeing circles in squares And looking into it like it is Walk up to the end Dive into the abyss Fly away as if there's no bottom or top Lean into it and embrace the ladder between the pillars that don't stand alone or end Dust in our eyes until the fall Catch wind of the light of insight unbind you The will Pines -We go blind Did you forget that death comes to save you One open eye can see at night Open the space above guts and skin blue I'll tow the line until I die So give in polite to the test that finds you To you I fall -Together, All to meet again... your wasted life was on time no life wasted -You're on time To you I fall -Together, All to meet again... your wasted life You'll be born Against the Grain You'll be subject to its game to dread becoming human again You'll be born only to die Laborious the school of time You'll learn the hardest way becoming human again No Walk up to the end Dive into the abyss Fly away as if there's no bottom or top

Knowing is delusion just passed ignorance's confusion no mind no matter Social cued hypnosis- the finest form of mutual neurosis careworn servant We dance out in the rain of transmutation and thank god for the pain that simulated the idea that to live we had to fight... no life without death Now I no longer wonder why Our questions binge on torment Suffering is terminal enlightenment Imagine of a teaching that's beyond words but gives shape to the secrets that bow to worms Something we cannot see protects us from a something we cannot know Beyond within god stepped out of his shoes to sleep with in the destiny that we choose Dear great ones let me speak this truth to you This that my people have been fooled They know not who they are They know not what they do Allow them to pass through to you We were just too young to understand My whole life was pain but the tree grows in the Rain The seed grows in the dark The soils are rich in death from the start Birthing into transmutation Breathing into the simulated Dying with fools no life without death Rebirth and retool to improve the silence

Down here above I see you waving walking with my sleep I carry you sometimes when tempted you start growing sometimes when tested you start showing play the serpent swallow its tail Lion feed on the Beast Beast is consumed by Earth we will be fed to the wolves and watch the universe consume itself Planets eaten by sons stars are consumed by black holes we will lay down with the worms and watch the universe consume itself Its only hell if you want to Its taking hold give in to the ride Sleep in its role Eat you alive Your body now mine You'll bare witness to the seeding of lifes fruit Eat me alive Cast me inside to bare witness to the miracle of you let me see in seeding the way to walk away from here when you could stay tending the garden watching the fall out mending the garments we tore we will lay down with the worms the Moon seen in water for us to consume (chorus) Eat you alive Your flesh into mine Youll contribute to the seeding of lifes fruit Eat me alive We are divine Ill contribute to the miracle of you.

The only battle is Head vs heartbeat Headfirst we bleed Blatantly we cant believe the things we've seen Either way you go you walk home (Welcome home) Into the war just beneath The battle within (Welcome home) Put down your weapon Pick up the key The only battle is Head vs heartbeat the heart we seed Flowers grow from underneath the beings we could be To give the large to the small To hold the tension of poles our truest nature that calls Give freely A self governed, wise natured being With no desire but to serve The secret is to pass All our wants All our needs To be still and leave There is no where to go In this school for souls What can I do to get through to you this is alright What can I be to get you to see we are children The only battle is Head vs heartbeat the heart we seed Flowers grow from underneath the beings we could be To catch the joke that pierces matter and time To see the shape between the lines Conquer the chaos and create a time Of truth pieced together from lies

From which you came you shall return but not in vein Through Truth, the Bull tamed You shall return Unnamed Together I stand Once found it cannot be lost And you will bare witness before the fall There is one sunrise for us all Let's watch it ascend The fabric tares, there's no need for repair Here on the edge of the pi Our mind is trapped in this cube named despair Illusioned walls built at night When Truth is power Both trees prelude the tower But Truth is sour Devour - Swallow - Digest and process it Your growth will be slow oh, but geronimo Proud within the coals Watching vast from the tree tops above the bodies goals Still grounded by the language of blood - We lay down when the mud sits up I'll live my own life (just to take it) I'll breath without air (underwater) I'll consume of the fruit (of the flesh and blood) I'll drink of the waters of life in the land of death... Buried in open space for any to inhabit Careless upon the rivers surface for fish to enquire Consistent within the ribs of warm creatures Signaling to you Malignant, in a language of light Surrender to its pattern When it is dark you are light Once found it cannot be lost And you will bare witness before the fall There is one sunrise for us all Let's watch it descend

The before Is after The before Not what people adorn It's all in your head you see From behind the curtain it sings It's all in between the seems From beneath the iceberg it screams Do you think when you see? Have you pondered the mystery? Do you ever wonder why you are aware? Do you think when you say? What if you had one more day? Would you say what you mean as true? And can I see it in you? When you feed on madness with a self-intended force You'll write the signs for my kind For my mind For my time There is no better way to say this... Even the fall guy will live I did the math And I'll decide the way to be here The Before Is After The before Not what people adorn Together, my in devour-your adventure From The the fields wielding gold To the trenches of coal From the knowledge of old To the novelty cold That has yet been untold That has yet to unfold Leading your hands to your blindfold That is your cubicle that has yet to unfold in 2d Just take off your blind fold-The ego So you do what it does See it as a mirror within That has yet been untold That has yet to turn lead into gold But the last does repeat but it doesn't ever skip a beat But can the last thing remain? Indifference uncommon The gest is honest The difference is promised the walls of atlas Coming now in this form to explore to adore (a door) The hunting ...the feeding The Braud intrusion The wanting .. The needed The false illusion Defeated to feel the fail heart beating As it gives life to death again Through your every state Ill stand here When you feed the madness With a self-intended force You'll write the signs for my kind For your mind For your time I'll stick around -I'll stay down for the blind, for the clowns I cannot stop Destined to be the one who sees From reading to knowing to falling apart I'm rejoicing, rejecting and everything between To be not to be I think there for I see But you'll be gone And I'll be gone You'll be gone -You two We'll be gone You'll be gone

Equanim 05:57
Tempest The fall of man Born with one foot in the grave Tempered Born of sand To remain in this state enslaved The scale of your certitude The fermentation of misfortune The weeping of sand into colored glass Display of perdition for wisdom to glean. Milking the insight. Equilibrium. Equanimity is all they seek and so far unseen Born of the sun, All your effort is just suffering For one We were meant to feel pain Wisdom obtained by mistake Put down your sword Every method is just proof that you have lost. Tempest (tempest) Serpent of light (serpent) Teach me (teach me) Open my eyes Tempered (tempered) Born into sin (Born In) Programed (programmed) And locked in Longing for light takes place in the darkness Unfolding the archetype -of the unified- Abyss Telling a story by giving up words Heed the babble that utopia doesn't work Attached to nothing Connected to everything To see everything and not decide anything To just bear witness and forget that you are there Parts reacting Is all I see blind by the sun Bare your serpent with the fruit that you have won All your effort is just suffering for one We were meant to feel pain Wisdom obtained by mistake Unholy son Bare your serpent with the fruit that you have won
