Existentia

Concentrate/ on the source/ focus/ on what emerge
Go deeper/ until/ the dichotomy/ blurs
The lights fade out/ the space clears/ the objects unify/ the resonance remains
Reconnect/ to your nature/ follow/ the trail below
Go deeper/ until/ the dichotomy/ blurs
From nothing/ emerges something/ with discernible properties/ taking shape/ leading to an identity/ that seems firm and fixed/ existing independently
Merge with the stream/ that forever flows/ beyond perception/ a boundless dimension/ perfect and whole
The lights fade out/ the space clears/ the objects unify/ the resonance remains

I can’t believe that I’m still here/ after facing my darkest years/ your presence was terrifyingly near/ but you let me persevere
I may have circumvented you this time/ but we will inevitably meet in the end/ I cannot escape your grasp forever/ but I am grateful for a second chance
I will always seek the light/ as I drift through the night/ for my spirit burns bright/ even engulfed in your twilight
I evoke you/ to set my agenda straight/ and to live a life without regrets/ before its too late
Press on/ though the clouds will call you home/ to the timeless realm beyond/ to the nether/ forever
It grabs you by the spine/ whips you violently around/ quarters you by all fours/ pulls you to the bottom to drown/ pulls you to the bottom to drown/ we’re sinking six feet under ground/ to never ever utter a sound/ to never ever be found
Press on/ though the clouds/ will call you home/ to the timeless realm beyond/ to the nether/ forever

I struggle to come to terms with non-existence/ the eons before birth were meaningless/ but those after death carry great importance/ for I am terrified to lose my consciousness
Everything is subject to dissolution/ this is the inescapable conclusion/ belief in the abiding self is a delusion/ just a safe and comforting illusion
When consciousness dissolves/ so too does self and world/ it’s like descending into deep, dreamless sleep/ never to be awoken again/ no sense space/ no sense of time/ no objects of awareness/ just pure nothingness
Though I fight against forgetfulness/ what I do is no match for the abyss/ though I wish for my memory to persist/ the truth is it will be soon dismissed
Everything is subject to dissolution/ this is the inescapable conclusion/ belief in the abiding self is a delusion/ just a safe and comforting illusion
I try to preserve myself/ by the things I collect/ the deeds I’ve done/ the children I’ve spawned/ but it’s to no fucking avail/ because everything/ will be lost to oblivion
In the twilight of existence/ I can finally see/ at the end of the journey/ I embrace my destiny
I try to preserve myself/ but it’s to no fucking avail/ because everything/ will be lost to oblivion

Demystification
07:31
|
|||
|
All these desires/ keep us occupied/ pursuing pleasure/ until we die
Redirect your attention/ deep inside/ find your inner genius/ and give it life
I focus my attention outward/ on external things/ and associate my identify with them/ but this is not who I am/ I am ‘not this, not that’/ I am no-thing
All these distractions/ keep us mystified/ from our true nature/ waiting to be realized
Redirect your attention/ deep inside/ find your inner genius/ and give it life
Wake up/ and come to your senses/ this is not/ who you are
I found you/ waiting there for me/ between the objects/ of my awareness

Apokalypsis
04:16
|
|||
|
Must we negate/ to create?/ is anything/ sacred?
If you it tear down/ erect on solid ground/ something lasting/ not this lacking/ an absence of integrity
Must we negate/ to create?/ is anything/ sacred?/ should you judge? (you’re no authority)/ what’s obsolete?/ when you’re blinded to (you can’t fucking see)/ reality?

Deliverance
08:35
|

I’m so cold these days/ I walk with my head down (my head down)/ I sniff the warmth inside/ of the houses I pass by (I want to be included)/ but I feel so estranged/ so unheard, devalued (forgotten, invisible)/ that I must scream, must yell/ to prove I exist (what kind of life is this?)
Integrate with the Way/ feel the pulse, spread throughout
Let go/ of your ego/ that you cling to/ you’re taking us all down/ with you
I reach my dreary room/ on the outskirts of town (nobody lives here)/ angry at all I’ve seen/ boiling in blasphemy (depravity in my veins)/ I tune into the networks/ that echo my views (and unrail my mind)/ and amplifies the hatred/ that rages inside of me (time to leave my mark)
Integrate with the Way/ feel the pulse, spread throughout/ generate harmony/ we can change our destiny
We cling to our views/ reinforced by what’s seen (what we want to see)/ ignore similarities/ focus on alterity (it pushes us apart)/ so convinced we’re right/ won’t hear the other side (I’m not listening)/ hardened, indignant/ unreachable, explosive (a ticking time bomb, waiting to go off)
Integrate with the Way/ feel the pulse, spread throughout/ generate harmony/ we can change our destiny
Let go/ of your ego/ that you cling to/ you’re taking us all down/ with you

Now return/ to the night/ from where/ you came/ where stillness/ and silence/ reign
