Mission From God
02:43
|

|
Suit up, pull up your boots
We’re going so high
Maps drawn, compass in tune
To the other side
Three gifts we apprehend
Fate bringing treasure
Now I give this to you
Sacred elixir
CH
Far out, we’re on a mission from god!
Face drawn, real gone, needle-teeth gnashing morose
Shaman, he wages battle alone
Symbol, spaceman, pattern-things matching echoes
Now we’re stars in new space
Floating untethered
States that we have attained
The stateless endeavor
Tumble back to the ground
Falling from heaven
Sharing knowledge we lived
With those who can hear it

Nothing Left For You
05:06
|

I’ve got nothing left for you
There’s nothing left to say no need to bother.
I’ve heard it all before and yet
Your head explodes with paranoid libel
Boredom is the enemy it seems.
Blame projected; it’s your fault is screams, it screams it’s true
CHORUS
There’s nothing left for you
It’s scorched earth, except for my pride
It’s not hard to see
There’s no soul in your dead eyes
There’s nothing left for you
Your words like birds they fly away
It’s what you do that we wake to tomorrow
Your majesty is killing me
You’ll be the one to beg and steal and borrow
The jester that refused to sing is scary
Who’ll be the fool when you are dead and buried?
Fools carry the tune
CHORUS
I’ve got nothing left for you.
You’re hollow with no rich and creamy center
Attention is no substitute
Your soul’s infected it’s begun to fester
The magistrate with furrowed brow is seething
We’ll rise above we’re fearless now and beaming.
CHORUS

Not Two
03:49
|
|||
|
Are we beautiful?
Are we immutable?
Can we know, or is wisdom unattainable?
Maybe we can say it...
Can’t be overstanded
Is a question really silent entropy?
No arbitrary ‘peace’ or ‘light’
We’re going down to the devil
Our fallacies will sleep tonight
Come and sit at my table
Sinners and gurus
Monstrous and beautiful
Maxims and fiction
Shadows and heros
Bring your appetites
And we’ll devour each other
The moon implies the sun at night
Just like a face in a mirror
Those faces change into a mask
Now let’s forget ourselves...
Pleasure and suffering
Love and compassion
Seeking and lonely
Shadows and heros
They all get high alright
And get a glimpse of the sun

Hold On
03:08
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel like breaking
This spinning wheel is letting go
I’m at the brink and shaking
Full bore and keel still getting low
Hold on
Gotta hold on
We’ve raped the world-it’s baking
The fuse is lit when will it blow?
So close my knees are quaking
Push down my fear can’t let it show
Hold on
Gotta hold on (2x)
Bread crumbs leave a trail to nothing
This cave is sealed, cannot get out
Suffocate or swim to safety
Wake up, wake up the shaman shouts:
“Mad Max is a goddamn Nazi
Fat Albert fucked your sister too
That world you knew has ended
Ride it out now babe, it’s up to you.”
Hold on
Gotta hold on (2x)

The False Lack
04:37
|
|||
|
Moon, you are a phantom
Moon, turn face away
Crossing my sky in your shroud
Chemtrails are raining
Days that are left to endure
Snug in your broken tomb...so confused
Face, sullen I borrow
Dance, faithful can pray
Adorned in small footsteps so cold
Beating deaf rhythms
Outsider drinking it deep
Grasping for ashes, fade...fade again
CH
And you’re calling her
And you’re falling in
Is she dropping you?
Fearful leaving us
Are you seeing her, are you seeing YOU
Just like Genesis, pandrogyne in me

When The Tree Spoke
03:55
|
|||
|
Let’s start”
Fall in
Half to start
Bhang grail fill
Statue hides
Soft skin
Feral, mine
Glowing, thin
CH
Grateful laughter
Elephant swimming
Cubenzi truffles
Shiva, we’re willing
Tesselation
Rendered in vision
Vision of union
Vishnu is breathing
Tree outside
Tree within
Coincide
Gracious eye

Draining White
05:06
|
|||
|
It’s getting hard to pretend
To feel everyday
I’ve got something I’d like to share
You won’t hear anyway
Draining white
Bask in light
Draining white
Vast Insight
It’s so easy to extend
The dream isn’t real
Heart pumps, eyes jump, there’s no end
The fear goes away
Fight or flight
Vast insight
Draining white
Bask in light
Teeth bared, death dared and scared
Is this me anymore?
Let go, death’s blow, there’s no end
Time to see and go my way
Draining white
Bask in light
Now is love
All is now

Fractal Altar
08:53
|
|||
|
Old smoke cathedral
Faint gnostic bell compelling
The chosen winters
Unconsciously retelling
Along the way you know, and afterwards discover
There’s no observer here without an observation
Her clock-face frozen
She smashes through her altar
As shattered pieces Themselves become new altars
The smoke turned solid in the room
All sound was trapped, our vision dim
A table strewn with precious sins
Protect us from advancing gloom
He cleans the glass with alcohol
The spirits will evaporate
The moth we saved clings to the wall
He’s grateful for the slight delay
When cobalt bottles crack and wear
Our mended breaks go on display
Old scars, their vengeance should forget
Their hammers made us truly great
CH
And now you discover
Fate somehow around
We know it’s conclusion
Gray clouds in a shroud
