cult of paradise

There’s a paradox
In the paradigm and
The entity to your identity
Id is wild
Scattered headlights litter the freeway here
There’s a parallel
In the paradise and your
Misery is a mystery and
So is mine
Parted lips can summon the latent air and I care
Once you’re in
Will you want out
Of the cult of paradise
It’s so warm
It’s so comfy
Following your leader’s advice so
Don’t think twice
Every time the feeling hits words can’t describe
Patterns so geometric, a perfect design
Once you’re out
Will you want back
Into the cult of paradise
It’s so cold
It’s so toxic
Drinking the poison and you
Drink it on ice
But it’s kinda nice
Every time the feeling hits words can’t describe
Patterns so geometric, a perfect design
Words can’t describe
The way you feel inside
So you search for a color
To make it all alright

Yeah!
You never look me in the eyes these days
You’re so far gone
You’re so far
Yeah!
I guess I’ll have to be the one to say
What’s consuming you
Is what you consume
Two for my friends
One for myself
Yeah!
You never look me in the eyes these days
You’re so far gone
You’re so far
Yeah!
I guess I’ll have to be the one to say
What’s producing you
Is what you produce
Two for my friends
One for myself
If the future’s playing games with me?
Who is the player playing games?
It’s just the future playing games with me
It’s just the future playing games
Who is charging miscellaneous fees?
Who is charging miscellaneous?
I won’t suffer unnecessarily
I won’t suffer unnecessarily
It’s just the future playing games with me
It’s just the future

droves

The antique spine unfurls
From spiral slumbers
Props up the modern head
An abstract blueprint
Outlines realization
All thoughts are catalysts
Although
It’s coming back to me in droves
I know
The roots have always been there
Today
It makes me happy just to play
And say
We all can share this room
To let it grow
You’ve got to drop that baggage
Should you let it go?
Can you let it go?
To let it grow
You’ve got to drop that baggage
Are you letting go?
Am I letting go?
Am I truly letting go?
Don’t be afraid to let it go
Post-modern mind recedes
In coiled futures
Into the antique cave
The tranquil surface
Slowly ripples violence
All change comes from within
Understand
I count my blessings on one hand
Oh man
This high won’t last forever
Tonight
I make a point to speak my mind
In time
So we can share a culture

Origin of all
I can hear your call
The sound’s resounding
In my ample lung
Messenger of might
I can feel your light
Shadows foreshadow
Inadvertent shades
If you say it’s so
Then I guess it’s so
If you make it so
Then it will be so
If you take it slow
You can watch things grow
If you don’t go fast
You can make it last
Altruistic son
Shine on everyone and
Expect
Nothing in return
Misanthropic man
Can’t you understand
People through peepholes are
Moons through microscopes
If you say it’s so
Then I guess it’s so
If you make it so
Then it will be so
If you take it slow
You can watch things grow
If you don’t go fast
You can make it last

Everyone wants to be
Beautiful & carefree
But the universe has it’s ways
Of stifling the plans we make
Your charm is working now
It is so persuasive
I don’t have a choice
I’m the one who made this
The wheels are spinning now
They are so persistent
They show me how to behave
They show me what to believe in
The butterfly flaps its wing
Altering everything
The things you do
The things you love
Emanate to everyone
Ooohss (bridge)
Your buzz is wearing off
It’s not so persistent
Go clean up your mess
You’re the one who made it
The wheels keep spinning round
They’re in full rotation
They show me how to exist
They show me life’s worth living
Charms are wearing off
They’re not so pervasive
I don’t have a choice
I’m not the one who made this
The wheels keep spinning round
They’re in full rotation
They show how to be good
They show me life’s worth living

catharsis now!

Live like you’re already dead
Give like you’ll never get back
Think like you don’t have a mind
Play like it’s your last time
You’re gonna push me to the edge of the Earth
But are we really in it
Or just a simulation?
Guess we’ll find out!
Live like you’re already dead
Give like you’ll never get back
Think like you don’t have a mind
Play like it’s your last time
You’re gonna push me to the edge of the Earth
But am I really in it?
Guess we’ll find out!

Out of the womb and
Into the world
I need some attention
Give me your attention
Oh !
Sex, money and drugs
They’re never enough
I need some attention
Give me your attention
Oh !
I’m not falling for your tricks
Packing my bags
Leaving for good
Why should I invest
If they don’t invest it back in me?
Quit messing around
Everything’s not fine
Get your feet on the ground
I need you here right now
Put your pieces together cause
Everything depends
It’s now or never so
Let it open up
Quit messing around
Everything’s not fine
Get your feet on the ground
I need you here right now
Put your pieces together cause
Everything depends
It’s now or never
Slowly start to cross the sea
Slowly start to map the sea
Slowly stain the sea
Slowly start to test the waters
We slowly start to test the waters

unnoticed

Saw you with head craned down like
Leaves of a dying lily
Wondered what’s in the air that
Made you slump brown & yellow
Wondered what’s in the water
Nurturing your wilted pose
Thought if I took the time to
Tend to you we’d both breathe easy
Feeling low, how can I show
You don’t have to feel like you’re unnoticed
You don’t have to feel like you’re not there
You can feel the weight lift off your shoulders
You can live your life without a care
Canopies cover the sun, light on the floor’s not the same as above
After your stems stood up I
Realized; what’s a plant
Without a few buds to prosper
All as one in a garden
Without a few bugs & bees to
Profit and share the wealth
Thought if I let you know you’re
Not alone we’d both be richer
Feeling high, full of life
You don’t have to feel like you’re unnoticed
You don’t have to feel like you’re not there
You can feel the weight lift off your shoulders
You can live your life without a care
A forest is more than the trees, the wolf that will grow is the one that you feed

I know there’s more
Than I can see
All is layered
Patterns warp and
Patterns weave
This intricate embroidery
I know there’s more
Than I can sense but
Through my experience
But it sometimes takes a
Comedy
To relinquish the rigid and
Accept your place in the world
The world
I know there’s more
That I could change
More to sacrifice
Movements wax and
Movement’s wane in
Liquid equilibriums
I know there’s more
That I could do
To get through to you
But it sometimes takes a
Tragedy
To see for yourself and
Accept the ways of the world
The world
Redirect your rightful rage
In good ways
Propagate the unity
Of humanity
Remember how they did you wrong
Keep on
Organize and educate
Don’t wait
Don’t you wait for someone else
To do what you can do yourself!
Place yourself in someone else’s shoes
Walk awhile and note the difference
We’re few and far in between but
You used to be you used to feel then
Something happened to you
Calculate the aftermath
Graph
Every point with precision
Envision
A world in which you want to live
Give
Carry on with confidence
Don’t look back
