Dear Life
yeah i drank deep from the tap
maybe i should have left it in the pipes
but i bought the ticket so i'm taking the ride
and sometimes i've gotta hold on for dear life
does everyone's life get this strange?
eerie and scary and weird like this?
alien energies, demons and ghosts
creepy crawling anxiety fits
uncovered the mainline
went back to source
exposed the nerve
mind expansion crash course
liberty caps and dirty acid
got my little circuits all fried
yeah i ate the ticket so i'm along for the ride
and i've gotta keep hanging on for dear life
i've got the symptom of the universe
i don't even know if i'm blessed or if i'm cursed
all i know is that either way it hurts
and i can't tell which is worse
uncovered the mainline
went back to source
exposed the nerve
mind expansion crash course
fell into the void
unhinged the doors
now i'm skinless
mind expansion crash course

Daggers
when daggers shoot thru my eyes
and my sight only fails to make me see
where i despise all i behold
it's the last place i wanna be
i look daggers
i see hell
looking thru these sunken holes
i'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired
closing my eyes brings no relief
all shut down and sealed over by maya
i look daggers
i see hell
illusion serves its own purpose
it's of no use to me
grant me the vision to look beyond
wake me from this sleep
oh lord let me do no wrong
oh ma let me do no wrong
i look daggers
i see hell
i look daggers
i'm a fool

Heavy Light
i've been holding back for so long
i've been white-knuckle holding on
been losing sleep trying to stay awake
struggling to find some peace in this dark age
and i'm so tired
oh so tired
but my love tells me to keep up the fight
i wonder what's the use sometimes
it's a heavy light
i've never been to heaven but i caught a glimpse
i've been looking for the way back ever since
feeling homesick and weary, like i'm doing time
refuse to give in halfway to the end of the line
and i'm so tired
and i don't mean sleepy
i carry it around all day and night
try to aim it straight, true and right
it's a heavy light
i've been waiting around for such a long time
trying to pass thru this fear of mine
been getting lost trying to find my way
searching for some truth in this dark age

Let It Unwind
let me hear your heart sing
don't you know, dear, thoughts have wings
let me know how you feel
don't you know, boy, telepathy is real
let it unwind
all down the line
that leads from yours to mine
if it takes time
and too much time breaks your line
here, use mine, we're aligned
so bring it on, all that you are
there is no need to be alarmed
whatever it is that you wanna be
my mind's set free and i can deal
let it unwind
all down the line
thru space, thru time
faster than light
and sealed in one mind
alive wire
alright? alright!
let me hear your heart sing
let me know how you feel

Southpaw Trail
it's a sad, sad state of affairs
a daily betrayal of our true potential
stuck down here running games on eachother
competing and waging wars on one another
see what we have done
ruined life for everyone
see what we have become
servile, robotic automatons
main street's got lasers and neon lights
countless wrong treats to tickle desire
fireworks and sparks
crap that glows in the dark
distract from the stars
and make you forget just who you are
spirit mute and unrealized
small parts separated by the great divide
every last thing illusory and profane
is it any wonder that i walk the southpaw trail?
the fix is in, these are desperate times
the price is steep and stakes are high
and the last fair deal has just gone down
bastards and pigs run this town
main street's got lasers and neon lights
endless wrong treats to tickle desire
fireworks and sparks
crap that glows in the dark
distract from the stars
and make you forget just who you are
and everybody just wants to belong
and everyone's got a right to be wrong
but if you finally give up the game
come meet me down on the southpaw trail
main street's got lasers and neon lights
useless wrong treats to tickle desire
fireworks and sparks
crap that glows in the dark
distract from the stars
and make you forget just who you are

In Harm's Way
dirty money
evil economy
hard times trade hands
in the name of supply and demand
and all is well that pays well
this is the mechanism of hell
this is the mechanism of hell
part by part
and you get so worn down
by all the bullshit and lies
but don't let them take your mind
never let them make you lose your soul
fool's gold
in a fool's game
bad vibes trade hands
in the name of supply and demand
they want to take your life away
so they can sell it back to you
so they can sell it back to you
piece by piece
and the world breaks your heart
over and over again
but don't let them get close
never let them make you lose your soul

Sequels
it occurs to me i may be you
or just another past life coming thru
i think i've seen this movie before
bum trips all over the floor
trace the origin
it's a sequel
trace the origin
i seem to recall a better time
when everything was just right
a perfect distant memory
encoded in my broken dna
trace the origin
it's a sequel
trace the origin
thru the four ages
since before the decline
from light to darkness
in a spiral of time
i guess this time around
there is more to learn
once lost now found
more karma to burn

Out From Under
you can't drive 'cause you're just too dumb
you can't read a map so you don't ride shotgun
i don't want directions, they'll just be wrong
i'll put you bound and gagged in the trunk where you belong
ol' ego, you're a too-much thing
the one who won't let me be
ol' ego, you're the enemy
self-appointed authority
sitting in the back, whining "are we there yet?"
you're annoying and i drive badly when i'm upset
if you're gonna ride with me, just shut up and dig the scenery
if you don't behave i'll put you out in the street
ol' ego, you're a too-much thing
the first and last to stand in my way
ol' ego, you're the enemy
a fucking mountain going by my name
you confuse and misread the signs
you haven't got a clue where we are
try your best to make me get lost
short on brains but long on talk
i don't need you
i don't need you at all

Nazi Soul
what was it that scared you so?
what was it that you couldn't understand?
who was it that made you shut off your heart?
who was it that made you close your mind?
come close
come clean
show me the fear that makes you hate
oh no
say it ain't so
tell me you don't really have a nazi soul
i wish you knew that you're dead wrong
i think you know that i can see right thru you
why don't you just cut the shit?
why should we have to deal with it?
come close
come clean
let go of the fear that makes you hate
oh no
it's just your ego
i know you don't really have a nazi soul
who was it that scared you so?
who was it that you couldn't understand?
what was it that made you shut off your heart?
what was it that made you close your mind?

No Other
inner / outer / wherever
as above, so below
my friend says "yes, yes, it's all the same"
i just keep on going "i know, i know"
the infinite amounts!
the endless variables!
the myriad shapes!
the zillion digits!
i am one
there is no other
past / future / whenever
all time is now
my friend says "yes, yes, it's all the same"
i just keep on going "i know that i know"
the multitude of aspects!
the billions of forms!
the inherent unique!
the divine one of a kind!
i am one
there is no other
we are one
there is no other
oh this incredible creation
such magnificent beauty
the overflowing abundance
such imagination, so inspired
so minute in detail
so amazingly graceful in design
i am one
there is no other
we are one
there is no other
all is one
there is no other

Her Grace
life is a trip and i've got a guide
staying at all times by my side
picks me up each time i fall
without her i wouldn't be here at all
mother of the cosmos
haloed sister
and when i fail, it's alright
she knows that i really try
she heals me when i am weak
she's grace and the deepest peace
mother of the cosmos
dear daughter
creation
energy
manifest reality
she is the blood that runs thru me
she is the love that passes thru me
she is the ineffable revelation
she is the multifold incarnation
mother of the cosmos
wise teacher
creation
energy
manifest reality

The Oneness
i may not know much
but i do know this:
one consciousness is all there is
and this phase of evolution
we call the human race
is part of a constantly changing
unified energy vibration
floating in space
all division is illusion
everyone is under the sun
i may not get it all
but i do get this:
love and fear is really all there is
and this thing we choose to call god
is the universal love
that dwells within us all
and the absence of the fear
that keeps us apart
there is no separation
everyone is under the sun
everyone is under the sun
so die to the shallow
and rise to the deepened
die to the shallow
rise to the deepened
everyone is under the sun
