1.2 Walk Alone
You were all I could see
dark skies
did we roam
now I walk alone
Why would you hide your smile?
it’s fuel
for my fire
burning what I’ve known
So I toil
and I try
it's for nothing
what is life
when you cry
not a tear?
Still the Sun will rise
and my clock unwind
as I
walk alone
In your eyes bright as gold
fallin
like a stone
here I walk alone
In your quiet I hear
melodies
yet unknown
silent as my bones
Still I toil
and I try
all for nothing
what is life
when you cry
not a tear?
Still the Sun will rise
and my clock unwind
as I
walk alone

3.1 Straight Line
03:52
|
|||
|
Try to walk the straight line
I'm on the razor's edge
between here and my dread
Wish I had more time
for you and I
Try to walk the straight line
Try to walk the straight line
My mind is blown
into a million pieces
Wish I had more time
to iron out the creases
when motion ceases
Try to walk the straight line

3.2 Thesis
02:24
|
|||
|
Million billion pieces on the floor
tiny fragments of my soul
blowing out the door
not really sure who I’m hurting for
tried to walk the straight line
but I just can’t go no more
And I refuse to be moved by your reason
‘cause we all know once you’re dead
all time and motion ceases
so we spend our days
ironing out all the creases
of our flawed perceptions
and our misguided thesis
‘Cause none of us knows
what’s beyond this void
ridiculous to pretend
we have any knowledge or choice
of where we go
who we become
if our life’s just a toy
‘cause nobody has a say
in how their soul is employed
Our reality’s illusion
toxic epoxy
it's holding us together
but we’re in our own boxes
trying to reach out and touch
what we don’t understand
but it’s slipping through our fingers
sieve full of sand
Will I remember this life?
any hope any shimmer
fleeting moment of recollection
passing by in an instant.
or is everything obliterated?
never rewound
images which pass by
never make one sound
memory transient
momentarily perpetual
in its presence how full
in its absence I’m petulant
We ourselves are lost
in the meaning quiescent
all I can hope is that my mind
can become omnipresent
but
it is a lot to ask
and it’s a lot to handle
I know I’m only mortal
and my time ain’t ample
but does it really matter?
shit, I’ll gamble
rather live my life
despite my quickly dimming candle
‘cause wise men have said
“you only know what you feel”
be it love, be it hate
I’ll take them all as real
for fear that if I don’t
I know I’ll disappear
into the nothing of the darkness
the vortex of the clear and present
straight line.

4.1 Homeland
04:08
|

Once come a breeze you are gone
gems white as ice come anew
fast like a dream I have blown
Miles from the homeland I knew
Miles from the homeland I knew
Miles from the homeland I knew
Miles from the homeland I knew
So many miles and miles
My eyes are wide the scene is brighter now
as I try to find what’s wrong and right now.
'cause it came to pass that I lost my mind
and I broke into the other side
and I try to fight but there’s not dark or light now
Cause I’ve gone so many, gone so many miles
and I’ve gone so many, run too many times
Yeah.. I’ve gone so many, run so many miles
I’ve gone so many, run too many times
I’ve run so many, run so many miles
I’ve gone too many, come too many times

5.1 Unbeknownst to me.
Unbeknownst to me
it was just a dream
sailed the wild seas
waves became my sight
and the tides whispered in my ear
courage turned to fear
I arrived
Woken on the shore
crest of deep azure
broke the feeble ground
washed my spirit out
and all the while
you whispered in my ear
sayin' all of this is real
I just sigh
ohh...
unbeknownst to me
unbeknownst to me
ohh...
It was just a dream
Unbeknownst to me
the tides whispered in my ear
said there's not to fear

5.2 Interlude / Down
What I gave wasn’t enough
couldn’t see the light
so I climb ten miles high
just to look out on the world down
down, down, down, down. down....

6.0 Chromoscope - (Breaking Maya)
I
want to be a part of you
but I don't know
where to start is true
Separated from a heart
and got not clue
So tell me where to go and what to do
facing parallels but not a sound is heard
just a fleeting glance but no one says a word
I
wanna breathe you in
and breath you out
but you
you are out of reach
floating like a cloud
you're beyond me
Separated from a heart
and got not clue
So tell me where to go and what to do
as you pass me by I see I lost my way
and through the chromoscope
my colors turn to gray
And I blend into the shade
and my soul loses shape
--
Just as when the dirt is removed, the real substance is made manifest; just as when the darkness of the night is dispelled, the objects that were shrouded by the darkness are clearly seen, when ignorance is dispelled, truth is realized
--
So tell me where to go and what to do
Tell me tell tell me tell me tell me tell me
tell me where to go
and through the chromoscope
my colors turn to gray

7.1.1 Satori
You can’t step in the
same river twice
this I know
'cause I’ve tried
God I’ve tried
Hold my hand as we
plunge into the ice
frozen souls beneath the skies
Satori
