Mitosis 03:44
Seek and be shown Contemplate basic principles of alternating waves that hadn't forgot from whence they came And reach towards the sky to question the axis point of: "Why if all that could be known would learn to dilute it's own design and ripple for fun, why couldn't it have stayed as one?" All burning days align with untimely disarray and weighed down your luck, at least no one attempted to call your bluff When asked for your sign, well what could you do for Gemini's that God squared away? They asked their professor "Who's to say anyway?!" Could've been more At your full potential life's a chore Hey there's a sign Astrologically define you for yourself We make up the difference as we delve deeper inside The collective unconscious divides itself

Somewhere There was a fox who spoke through me Swimming in one sided wit Leaving time to drown in all of it I filled her glass up with my doubt Observed the words as they crawled from her mouth She dragged my body down the hall Paranoia in a free for all She heard the footsteps comings closer Don't worry, no one's at your shoulder now I built a home out of her wall Turned out I wasn't so dead after all If you don't die, well neither will I If you don't die we need you to lie If you don't die, me neither

Lost and half asleep Wandering on the side of the street Keep your night thoughts hidden from so called authorities Ponder, is there knowledge to seek or has it been buried in their tombs? Are you too blind to see the truth? Drown in irony Catalogue a foreign species Laugh at your bitter thoughts In questioning your ways, Soon arrive a not too distant day Will you fear the sight of all your fuss when you've nobody to trust? Concussed and paralyzed Synchronicity's and all too watchful eyes Align in obedience and learn your destiny Survival never was a guarantee When you're just a ripple caused by a wave Washing right into your grave

New beginning for some The golden dawn appears to peal itself Right over the mountain Rise fall repeat again  Fore too long all of your time's been spent You're paying someone else's rent Every truth begotten yesterday Will be had again anew Revolve it in the heavens, or was it set aside for us? -It wasn't set aside Few would know the difference -If you would even know the difference As soon as you can breach that thought -If you ever will, if you'll ever preach it You'll be blooming in your pot Haven't you forgotten yesterday Will be had again anew Unknowingly bestowed upon The eye of the beholder's lawn Spinning in the planes of time -I don't know how long I've been spinning I don't know if it's day or night or noon   Can not you remember yesterday? I'll be glad again With you

Celeb Shot 03:28
You could be wise If you open your eyes If you want to wake up the shouts of a muse Step out of the darkness Into the depths of your soul It's a beautiful mess Look what's put before you now It's funny when you know it's all a test Step into the fire glow Feel which way to go Passion burns just like a fever It's out of sight And hard to find that fever Try as you might You're hung up like a phone from a wire You need something to step in and break that spell you're under Try as you might You just can't sweat it out So get out Out of the darkness into the depths

As sure as I am waiting patiently for you to arrive The stars that linger overhead cross pathways just to catch your eye Will you see, in spite of latency, The forces working behind the scenes? Advise a quest through mountains dimly lit by light of the moon A mirror image mind reflecting every secret in a truth Embodies you, you stand in holographic form Disintegrating, it's not a waste You learned before you had arrived That your earthly form was disguising all of your demons And just to throw me off, You claim that we're all one You're demons The last piece of the puzzle's over my head And I see infrared To think that we were never here confuses everything you said Dissolve my matter or Put me in my place Where ancient futures interlace You claim that we're all God

Health 05:28
You worked a little hard today I think you should remove yourself and contemplate existence in your human form And everything that goes around inside of the normal space that you can occupy I know it'd make a difference if you ever tried Let yourself outside the lines Light out Take a look all around and hear the sounds Life builds itself up only to be stricken down As sure as light will leave the sun There's a new war to be won And I hear laughing from a cave It looks like they're throwing another rave We all are going to hell You work little hard for me Sit back and let the sacred space between us breathe If silence is the golden key then what's the use in anybody writing me off Label me insane today If I go see me my psychiatrist he'd send me away And I know their all full of shit so Go ahead and write a new prescription for me If you're sick and tired of always being sick and tired Come to the show, get loose, and weekend shake your body cause it's on fire Light will leave the sun There's a new war to be won I hear laughing from a cave Are we ever going to be saved? We all are going to hell Oh won't you take your time while you're around Enjoy every sound You looked a little hard again I'm starting to believe that we would never be friends If silence is the way to mend then take me to the loudest place you know Welcome back to the show where all your friends are characters you've already known And life is just a story that you wrote With godly imperfections like the thorns of a rose I just hear the shouts Life builds itself up Sure as light will leave the sun There's a new war to be won I hear laughing

Alderaan 05:15
The sun is reigning now It's rays upon a distant hill  Illuminate the crowned A cast of silhouettes withdrew All I could do for you was manifest my shield There's nothing time could ever heal When all your fear is gone And so becomes the night Apparently the stars align But stalking in the brush The shape of what must be discussed is coming close to us Who knew it could be dangerous To be sitting round singing songs Of what life was like on Alderaan And you said that you'd never belong Oh well, whatever, carry on my dear Just carry on Carry all your fear until all your fear is gone At last the distance overhead is coming in to focus  So press on to Alderaan It's time to make our run Who knows it might even be fun For each and everyone of us It seems there's nothing meant to be Who said time couldn't heal all wounds We must be holding different truths Meant to be Who said time had to take so long I've got to find my way back on to Alderaan I've got to press on back to Alderaan
