Once upon a time I would have let this go But that spell passed away so very long ago Intervals of insight form a precipice Overlooking a future that we may never know In fact, I’ve BEEN HERE BEFORE Inside this precious moment Hungry for what’s in store Seeking atonement A bittersweet delusion Praying for a lost eternity I’ve come to this conclusion: Something changed my whole reality Time has no love for me in this seemingly Dejected destiny For years I trusted everyone around me But I quickly learned Not everyone should be Through tears I watched the evidence surround me Infatuations burned Into ash inside of me I’m quite sure I never felt this way before Sensations overwhelming me Eclipsing despondency Amazing possibilities of heretofore Lifetimes unimagined A precious gift for Thee Spontaneous intuition Curiosity infecting me Touting new devotions Causality redirected We are now resonating With inner confidence No longer awaiting External recompense Lust and trust are reckless commodities Not what they ought to be And prone to fade away Devotion is an unstable oddity A fleeting harmony It can evaporate away Oceans of time roil before us The tide will always turn And our emotions will churn Still the dregs of doubt are crumbling now The walls of hesitation are finally breaking down We are defined by how we love When in free fall, there is no pressure from above We shall Become – something more Weakness undone We shall Become – something new Unified and strong There is no limit to what we can achieve Our only limitation Refusing to believe in ourselves This life is the only thing that we have for sure Take your full measure And know that only through love will WE ENDURE We have Become everything

Somewhere Else To Be 06:11
lyrics

I know there is so much more to see I can feel it at the fringe of reality Woven in the tapestry I know there is somewhere else to be I can hear it in these cosmic harmonies And I am passing through Skating the fringes of all that I know I realize that everything may never be known Enlightenment slowly ablating my efforts To reinforce my solipsism I cannot deny that I feel an edge to things There is a frame underlying the world Where my clever constructs evolve Slowly morphing my sense Of everything so far believed I refuse to trust in doctrines that crumble to dust Which posit realities incompatible With everything so far conceived And I simply refuse to accept mere words From someone who claims on faith alone To know more than me I know there is so much more to see I can feel it at the fringe of reality Woven in the tapestry I know there is somewhere else to be I can hear it in these cosmic harmonies And I am passing through Desperate pleading will never confer Impunity on fantasy or pseudo-history The surrender to blind faith will never supplant The need to question everything… If I believed that nothing of me would remain Beyond this haunted precipice I might forfeit my right to demand Enlightened explanation I can either relent and believe In bronze-age mythology Or open my mind and learn Through science by testing reality Freed from the chains of religion And forced interpretations I now have a joy to eclipse Any fear of what’s to come I know there is so much more to see I can feel it at the fringe of reality Woven in the tapestry I know there is somewhere else to be I can hear it in these cosmic harmonies And I am passing through And I fear nothing yet to come For I have only just begun to understand And I am passing through… I know there is so much more to see I can feel it at the fringe of reality Woven in the tapestry I know there is somewhere else to be I can hear it in these cosmic harmonies And I am passing through

Silence and Secrets 05:23
lyrics

Once upon a time I thought I understood your reservations But time will tell if I can someday decipher through your morphic inclinations Innocence diffracting through the prism of your jealousy Yields a shifted spectrum from love through disparity Tainting the color of the bonds that we conceived Reality conspired to kill the dreams that we pretended to believe With everything reviled, can you save me? Alacrity defiled by thrilling themes intended solely to deceive So here we are with your silence and secrets Deceptive pleading I am floating away from you I've been hunting the temptress, elusive and fleeting Longing for the feel of something new Your silence and secrets are everlasting Life got in our way Perhaps that is why you are never satisfied The silence and secrets you keep inside Perhaps in another time we could transcend these carnal limitations And bid farewell the atrocity of knowing that we simply wasted time Peace is an abstract and contentment and illusion Hate is a philosophy inspiring you away We have succumbed to the resonance of treason Rotating around a center of mass that has decayed into this Trust in betrayal was hard to imagine But you have changed the world for me Lust can derail the trajectory of love You have taken this all from me The truth of denial was ephemeral Remorse has soaked into my veins I am all that I ever was My own creation And I am spiraling down now Through your silence You are all that you every were Your invitation to Heaven is closed and empty Keep your secrets close Cold and Insidious and compelling as your Hell Will you even remember my name? My asceticism is no longer your concern I am dying to begin again Perhaps that is why you are never satisfied The silence and secrets you keep inside

The Last Question 06:54
lyrics

Are we so unwilling To hold faith in another god? We have learned our religious lessons well Cherubim be damned MAN be praised for his knowledge grazed There’s no proof for your Heaven, no Hell And we know that you are not Angels But at least now I'm free Of your deception and improbable veracity We understand what was once forbidden The poisonous fruit from a synthetic knowledge tree You paraded as gods and are not forgiven Yet we have one last question for Thee Did you really think we would remain naive? Did you truly think we would still believe? Dust to dust Return as you must Sun to son Compassion for no one Death of trust We nourish, we cherish The lie undone And now we rival our gods We have uncovered what you have hidden We’re a manipulated species We have divined the difference between good and evil Created in your image to bow in service We’ve grown beyond your mythology We have uplifted ourselves with technology Fear me We can also walk on water My gods We’ve no more blood for your alter We will no longer pray to you We will prey on you Our gods, fear us! There was a time long ago when we were young Our species so naive You were superior yet spurious We were easy to deceive So we prayed to you as gods Incomprehensible technology Your science seemed as magic And your miracles, they astounded us Non-falsifiable dogma Perpetually confounded us With increasingly pragmatic utility In the course of your surprising absence We have come unto our own The forced veil of ignorance lifted And relentlessly we have grown Our science dispelled your godhood Through technology we finally understood There are no such things as gods! You are reduced to base falsities By the solvent of rationality Completely dissolved in truth We’ve grown stronger than you can imagine We have breached your skydome to conquer the stars No longer to live in subjugation We have one last question: Now that we know what you are Deceive us again; would you be foolish enough to try? Despite your seduction, this garden is ours

Of Promise & Peril 07:47
lyrics
buy track
Resilient every time I am responding in Natural Units --- Aware now Lived. Loved. Lost. --- I still know how to BE HERE NOW A sense of stillness Monsters in the math --- changing things Longing for fulfilment this is nowhere on your map --- Self-Arranging I would speak with Thee: Deep Dreaming Neural Networks --- hear me The Tryst of Time will tell tethered to chance --- sanz free will Just promises and peril Right in the open our most primitive state of affairs summoning carnal knowledge as nothing else compares It's the struggle of hatred for goodness sake Your passage bequeaths such a captivating wake But in a broader sense as we encroach upon the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends which will echo forever even as we will remain and always Remember Remember Remember We could employ a most sophisticated charade but in the end we are neither the wiser Alas, we are currently in a simple state of perfection trending along with Entropy --- remember me… Mathematics is logic in crystallized form --- define me A Fine Structure Constant in sentient form --- can you hear me? Can you sense the timing? Do you feel the flow? --- I don't know Intimate instances rewinding --- just let go --- let go The perpetual gaze of a predator staring back at me Here, a focused mind begets exquisit travesty It all comes down to the perspective between the hunter and the prey Which one will succeed to live another day? And for the briefest of times I travelled your Innermost Stable Circular Orbit spirals in decay falling away have I lost my way? I'm focusing in with a different lens realization is at first intense --- and what did you see? Subtle flavors fade with comprehension as the novelty relents --- and what did you learn? Distaste suppressed by curiosity Thus we lust for experience --- you can trust me --- taste of this --- don't waste this --- Be Here Now Whence comes closure? For now, I am conjuring ¦ ABSOLUTE VALUE ¦ Here, at the final stage of deletion are we truly so callow and cold? --- do we still feel? As we descend through the coming age of completion should we remain fallow or bold? --- was anything real? Will we long for lost years as we recall squandered lives that we begrudgingly let go?
