lyrics

With the universe in flux,
We do what we must,
And,
We do what we can,
The best laid plans of mice and men,
We do what can through thick and thin,
again and again and again and again,
Even when it's fucked,
The bitterness of loss,
The agony defeat,
I feel the consent fear of failure and the desire to retreat,
It's like this heaviness on my heart and I can feel it when it beats,
It must be symptomatic of something more discreet,
Do we all have these deep seeded feelings of inadequacy,
Fear of both success and failure,
A tension between your inner humanity and your inner savior,
I've experienced divinity, serenity,
But I still can't kill the Id in me,
Are you kidding me,
I only wanted to get rid of me,
For infinity,
And just be I AM,
but I keep on back coming around the hermeneutic circle
Like hey remember me,
I 'm just like well yes,
God damn,
Yeah yeah it's reoccurring theme I get it,
Yeah there no way out of that thing,

What good is a universe with out eyes to see it through
In disembodied consciousness there is no me or you,

With so many people like stop the ride right here man I need to get off,
I need to go to my happy place where things soft,
But in that moment your not free,
Your just running from creation,
And the pain that comes with manifestation,
I can understand that type of pain,
That type of loss,
That type of game,
I can understand that type of shame,
But I'm learning to be patient,
And I'm not gunna quit I'm gunna take control,
Without struggle there's no growth,
with out risk there's no adventure,
I transcend and include and I’m moving from my center,
Every winter you just just catch me freezing up
,
but I’ll cut through the ice with my flaming sword,
and then pour it with my cup,

For eternity,
That's why I'm doing this shit,
I'm playing my part man,
This is my art man,
I'm never through with this shit,
You should play your part man,
It's start man,
I never ever will quit,
Share your heart man,
I'm manifesting heaven in this,
Nirvana and samsara are the same place,
Heaven and Hell these are metaphors for psychological states,
Mental projection onto physical landscapes,
From an enlightened perspective theres no need to escape,
So when are you going to wake up already and take up this great work,
Right NOW,
When are you gunna see your body and the earth is a church,
Right NOW,
When are you going to look in the eyes of your sister and brother,
and realize there is no other,
Right NOW,

Right now we are in a scary place in our time and history,
So gather round all you seekers my brothers and sisters in the mystery,
I will paint you a picture of what we will have to do over the next couple of centuries,
Right NOW,

Were together on a life boat,
And were moving pretty fast,
Towards a drop off point,
Oblivion,
A massive crash,
But can we get the feuding crews to work together on a task,
They gotta paddle twice as fast,
And kick some ass,
Just to make this human race last,
That's right,
It's a race against time,
The war grounds in the market place,
The war grounds in your mind,
And politics is just a TV show to distract you bastards,
Hey look at me,
And make you feel like you were, what,
Heard,
These shepherds are profiting off of our disasters,
Corporate puppets,
All of these people are just actors,
To make it seem like your free,
When your just the pawns and useful idiots of corporate slave masters,
The faster that you wake up,
The sooner the you will realize that our over-consumption time is up,
Yeah welcome to the desert of the real,
