lyrics

The earth implodes and leaves a portal.
A man passes through the eye.
He discovers the space beyond.
He’s left with a simple choice:
Emerge as God or die.
Humor me, sweet tranquility.
Shall you linger or fade quickly?
My mind, at peace, is a rarity.
The relief is mine to defend.
Yet to defend is not really peace
And leaves us conflicted.
The struggle. The balance
Between living and being.
I’m searching the cosmos for
A cure to the insanity.
I know the task is daunting, but
She has a way of easing my heart.
So I put my trust in her
Hoping for something better
In my life. Something
In my life to look forward to.
And I’ll regret letting my guard down
To follow the whims of a child.
You’ll notice me daydreaming.
You’ll stalk me, while I forget.
I see you looking over my shoulder,
Eager to regain your control over me.
You are the poison prescribed to kill my cancer.
Yet, my cancer would not be without you.
I feel your noose around my neck again.
I struggle and your grip only tightens.
Release me
So I can try on someone else’s rope.
I hate to disappoint you,
But these scars were self-inflicted.
I know you thought I bled for you.
You held me on a pedestal,
And I let you sing praises to me.
Never place your faith in a man.
He will let you down –
Terrorize your heart, with fear and guilt.
Victimize naivety. Unify hypocrisy.
Take my hand and I’ll
Show you the promised land.
Don’t you trust me, my love?
When have I ever deceived you?
We will transform reality,
Unbounded by relativity.
The space beyond, where nothing dwells
But random states of matter,
And we can feel the space between
To feel whole again.
To catch a glimpse of heaven
And then lose it to distraction.
She always plays these cruel games
But I have never felt this way.
I’ve lost the will to fly alone.
Maybe she’ll finally send me home.
Home.
I’ve been down this road too many times
Only to discover that the planets don’t align.
Now let us search the space between
For the cure that cannot be seen.
My suffering will restore
Balance to the universe. I will
Emerge from the chrysalis (3X)
