Convergent Minds

There is no one true path
We're in a consensus trance
Searching for a heightened sense
Of reality
The universe as a mirror
Calling us back together
Belief in separation
Fades to the light forever
Forever
Find your way no one else will
The stillness so hard to find
Silence your mind
Deep hidden in the void
Nothing real can be destroyed
From illusion of form emerging
As one all minds converging
Converging
We fall into division
Looking for order in chaos
The universe as a mirror
Calling us back together
From illusion of form emerging
As one all minds converging
Converging
Converging

One on One

Sweating intensely
Outside into rippling flesh
The scent that is her
Upon you one on one, engage
Giver and receiver
Are now one outside into
Feel it becoming
More than you it fucks us all
Inhale deeply, now look into my eyes
Sure they're closed but that's irrelevant
If I can feel alive
And be free before I die
I just can't explain it
But it's the truth
Gaze into my eyes
But don't look until you're done
Counting, now we go
Out to spend our propaganda
Tell all of the people
About our lust, about our needs
Sweating and writhing
Moving flesh just as we please
Exhale and feel it
Imagine it's a dream
Just don't close your eyes until it's over
Just to feel alive
To know and not to hide
Perceive with mind's eye
To know the truth
Just to feel alive
And be free before I die
I just can't explain it but it's the truth
Just to feel alive
To know and not to hide
Perceive with mind's eye
To know the truth

Give Up the Ghost
05:04
|
|

So quickly we come and go
In this world of death
For mere moments
And it all blinks out
There's got to be something
We can't see
Searching
For meaning
We're not sure exists
No reason to fear or care
Should we give up the ghost
Is death just dreamless sleep?
Let's give up the ghost
Hidden just beyond
An invisible veil
Possible glimpse of truth
Just out of reach
There's got to be something
We can't feel
Searching
For meaning
We're not sure exists
No reason to fear or care
Should we give up the ghost
Is death just dreamless sleep?
Let's give up the ghost
Imagination
Conscious
Hallucinations
Freedom
There's got to be something
We can't see
Searching
For meaning
We're not sure exists
No reason to fear or care
Let's give up the ghost
Death is just dreamless sleep
Just give up the ghost
Brief moments in time
Meaningless beliefs
Random beginnings
Love and sorrow
Always one with the other

Ego Death

Fly above all that is
Ride into the sun
Your hands are flapping desperately
Can you fly or will you fall
Into the waters below
Drowning, struggling
To reach the surface
But there isn't one
And you're swimming ever deeper
Down into your soul
Your ego torn apart
No longer yourself
Now one with the chaos
The Sun blinds you eyes
But so does darkness
It's reality
It is your destiny
Come with me into nothingness
Fly above all that is
No way down, just eternity
Flying free forevermore
Now through these eye
I'm staring at the sun
Flying now, fly with me
Die with me
Drowning, struggling
To reach the surface
But there isn't one
And you're swimming ever deeper
The Sun blinds your eyes
But so does darkness
It's reality
It is your destiny
Come with me into nothingness
Fly above all that is
No way down, just eternity
Flying free forevermore
Come with me into nothingness
Fly above all that is
No way down, just eternity
Flying free forevermore
Fly with me
Die with me
Fly with me
Die with me

Sleep Opus 1
05:49

The night is long
It's so overwhelming
But it won't last
Seems like forever
But there's always change
Feels like my heads gonna explode
Just wait til it's over
Relief flows through
As the effect fades
I just let it go
Leave me alone right where I am
It's up to you unless you're still on pain
Disgusted with the way it shouldn't be
Just wait for me
Wait for me
Nothing can fuck with me now
Is it love or just lust
Hate or mere jealousy
Is it all illusions?
Float through my soul
But don't steal a thought
A whisperer of fate
Shattered fragments of my eyes
Placed around someone else's grave
Leave me alone with my own thoughts
That I don't know are even mine
Left to rot or to evolve
Stand in pain for the wait is long
The end won't come, it never will
Just fade into another form
When it fades, sleep will come
But even then you're still awake
All I want is to sleep
Losing all consciousness
Slow it all down until I'm barely alive
Flowing slower than ever before

Sleep Opus 2

Through whose eyes do I see?
Here in the now
I'm terrified of the truth but
Welcome it just the same
It is change
Everything that I see
Is it all created by me?
In this haze I sit and wonder
When awake what I perceive
Is it no more real than my dreams
Or is it all illusions
Just one second
Can't wait til the next
Now it's over
One into the other and they're all gone
One into the other and they're all gone
Everything that I see
Is it all created by me?
In this haze I sit and wonder
When awake what I perceive
Is it no more real than my dreams
Or is it all illusions
And you know the end will never come
It becomes more unreal until it's undone
More awake once asleep
Drifting away
Falling away
Everything that I see
Is it all created by me?
In this haze I sit and wonder
When awake what I perceive
Is it no more real than my dreams
Or is it all illusions

Lusting Darkness
05:35

She stands all alone
Pierced by the light
It's running down her spine
Glimmering in the heat
You know that it's
Deadly to the eyes
Blind in just seconds
But ecstasy to touch
She's taking you far away
Same face as all
Hands wandering
Without end and
More intense with time
Head tilted back
Feel it's close at hand
Starts without movement
A fatal touch of minds
Guide my way into your being
Show me what you want and need
Fear fades with time only doubts prevail
Lusting darkness and the tears
Push until the thought proceeds to dream
Closer to death before regaining life
So close outside of the warmth
Staring within but still without
Mere existence is not enough
Pushing further life will kill
Feel (Or fear) me now more than you will ever know
I lust for the darkness inside of you
Deeper I go into your being
The darkness now seems to surround me
But still I go inflicted by your gaze
Your flesh inside is my only need
I just need pure consciousness
Instinct beckons for happiness
You know that I can't deny
The piercing light from within your eyes
And I'm forever lost
Inside of your
Dark
Dark
Darkness

Overdose of lies
I can't bare to die like this
Trapped it seems in this concrete hell
Words only slow the decay
I know now what is here for me
Nothing, all is lost
Taken away to a distant hell
That's not so far away
"I can see what your god's trying to do
His successes and his failures
Cosmic laughter fills my soul"
Slip into the dark
Leaving now a sound
What is here will so be there
Until I've gone away
Breathing in the fumes
Of those yet uncured
Buried only deep enough
So from them you'll hear
Not a word
Overdose of life
Buried this quicksand reality
Sinking down I cry out loud
But not a soul comes to help
Leave me back now as time moves on
I don't want my part
This overdose without a cure
Why can't I live in peace
"That which burns in every heart
Goes out when faced with the dark
Consuming all reality"
Slip into the dark
Leaving not a trace
Time and space now trivialities
As I welcome unseen change
Your dead rotted away
Your god's laughter fades
His presence is absurd
As he speaks not a word
Slip into the dark
Leaving not a trace
Time and space now trivialities
As I welcome unseen change
Your dead rotted away
Your god's laughter fades
His presence is absurd
As he speaks not a word
Not
A
Word
