Lyrics

1. TRUE HALLUCINATION SPEAK

Bits, a handful of irregular bits
A colored glass colors the light
Warms up my spine
Stars, flat six-pointed stars
Hexagon like baby blocks
I’ve sewn a cloth

True hallucination speak

Inhale, exhale
You better get a friend to help you
Against the stream
You’ve got to make amends with the truth

Glide, a living language collides
Chrysanthemum like mandala
Gave birth two eyes

True hallucination speak

Inhale, exhale
You better get a friend to help you
Against the stream
You’ve got to make amends with the truth

Pop, pop snap crackle and pop
Science fiction memory
Interleaved
Illuminates the heart

And I won’t let you down
I might come from outer space
But I’m here with you now
And we’ll travel between worlds

The shimmer
Of that sound
In the mouth
Love’s design
Accomplished


2. THE LION'S ROAR

Bury the bells
Between two mountains
The big trees on the other side
With illuminated leaves shout
I can say nothing
You've been uprooted
It's time to take another road

I will
Kiss the mouth of reality's face
I will
Annihilate my hiding place
I will
Fade into the rising smoke
I hear the lion's roar

Animals are something invented by plants
To move seeds around
An extremely yang solution
To a peculiar problem
Which they faced
Now I must take their medicine

I will
Sharpen the tone on the angel's tongue
And wield
A blow to unreality's front
Illusions
Flow out from this mortal wound
As I wake to the sound of the lion's roar

The lion's roar
And from your throat
You sing to me your secrets
A proclamation
That everything, everything is workable
No resistance
A pathway to the heart
In you I know
How I am born
I hear the lion's roar


3. KINDLY BENT TO FREE US

Kindly bent to free us
A heart-to-heart farewell
My armor begins to rust
It forms the scrapyard gates to Hell

DNA trapped in ice
Absorbed into a fossil site
My cheek cells traced
To an ancient human figure
Hobbit-sized

Kindly bent to free us
The joy, the sorrow and the pain
Life returns to mother dust
Abroad we sail to sink one day

Beyond mere blood lineage
Or a self-transcending simian
I rise to taste the dawn
And find that love will shine on

Evolution
Beyond rationality
The one solution
To turn my head and imitate the sun

The one who's always been
Has seen much worse than this projection
Persecution, kindly bent to free


4. INFINATE SHAPE

The indivisible goose egg
An irreplaceable loose peg
it never satisfies, incomplete
The future won't arrive
Nothing to seek
Don't you worry now

Infinite shapes
Architecture opaque
Infinate shapes
Paper tigers at play

A kamikaze seed
Breaks ground
Spouts up inside of me
Spreading down
It poked into my eye
Cracked the egg
Now there's a tentacle
Growing limb-like eggs

Infinite shapes
Alpha beta erased
Infinate shapes
Vital connections engaged

site down
Behold the open crown
Through the eternal halls
An Earth amidst the balls
One spark
Shooting across the dark
Fear, craft and avarice
Become a dust-filled wish

The indivisible goose egg
An irreplaceable loose peg
I won't worry now


5. MOON HEART SUN HEAD

I let the moon in my heart
To ventilate
An embryonic wisdom
Where I get to awake
A living flame
I turn the key
Open the door
The atmosphere enters my home
Cause the moon's inside my heart

I hold the sun in my head
To self-contain
A cocoon melts inside me
Protection's just a weight
I can brave
In gentle ways
Step out into the open space
Eye-level truth
When I hold the sun in my head

They're one in the same
Moon heart sur head

I'm black and blue
And smile at fear
I'm broke and bruised
Ans smile at fear

They're one in the same
Moon heart sun head


6. GITANJALI

The lightning splits the ice
Thunder twice
Swallowed bt rain
When black floods
Slit the hills
A turnpike filled
I am a weed by the wall

Gitanjali, keep swimming

The aching void in me
Sins softly
I fear no one
A cold hand at my door
The sinking floor
I am a soul on the run

Gitanjali, keep swimming

Goodbye to all of you
It's useless to refuse the muse
Let's carry on for future generation gone

Gitanjali, keep swimming

Goodbye to all of you
It's useless to refuse the muse
Let's carry on for future generations gone


7. HOLY FALLOUT

A star at dawn
A bubble in a stream
A flash of lightning in
Asummer cloud
A flickering lamp
A phamtomm and a dream

Aspirations
Chained to grindstones at your feet
Contradictions
Behold what you're afraid to see
Dear world
I can't offer an explanation
There's no one here but love

No conflict
No mind tricks
Mother Earth guide my ship
Comfort me
Despite me
Oh mercy, radiate your grace on m

Out of the ground
Where I hide my tangled head
To the North Star
And the alchemy is met
Dear world
I can't offer a reservation
There's no one here but love

Lought and spit
Into the air
Laugh and spit
There could be
There should be
There will be holy fallout

No conflicts
No mind tricks
Comfort me
Remind me


8. ENDLESS BOUNTIFUL

You're endless, endlessly bountiful
Truth does not change
