lyrics

I used to look up to the sky and know what it means to rely on hope in where to find a home for invited souls of those who side with peace
Now it's drones flown and chemical release
Aluminum seed spread for keep in check purposes
Beneath flesh, the sheep sleep deep in debt
Surfacing
Emerging from the take-a-number generated slumber
Placing faith in grace and wonder
Capable of saving one another
Still we wait to discover if hate can be erased from the fates of our brothers
Can they recover from the instilled madness?
Skin peeled back trying to kill off the sadness
We're just backwards
Lost in the energy
Gathering enemies
Existing as the centerpiece
Familiar destinies repenting and repeating
A sea of cretins endlessly competing
Feeding a sense of sweet relief to mask the sensory depletion
Keeping a legion of believers bleeding needlessly for entities deceiving
But maybe soon eventually receiving an awakened self
Empathy and sympathy revealing
Apathy receding, leaving peace to be dispersed throughout the scenery
Believe, it can be easily reversed
We need to be concerned with furthering our advancement to merge into the infinite
'Cause we are all of that which is

Is there a chance that we could reach sight of it all?
Help each other climb to the other side of the wall
And in spite of the fall, feel risen
Until then, invisible bars keep us in real prisons
Concealed differences mirror the significance
As fear and ignorance steer us to deep indifference
Feeding on the innocence
Keeping us belligerently militant
Bewildered
In fulfillment of our inner shifts
We can be limitless, toes to fingertips
A pin-prick-divisible molecular collision can make an incision to our existence
Absorbing elements near it
So we need to form intelligent spirits
Educated in the way of enlightenment
To finally find a means of awakening self and heighten it
Escape from hell's vice grip
'Cause heaven is the realization that we are one with one another and with everything as energy
Vibrant

Shining as bright as the light of the sun over your eyelids
And though third-eye-blinded, we can still open the soul and know total alignment


I used to look up at the sky and know what happens when we die

But now I hardly can see up into the troposphere
It's hard to look for answers when you're waiting for the smog to clear

I used to gaze up at the stars and pray to save this damaged heart

But now I look at them and know they are inside of me
What a sight to be divided evenly through light and peace

I'd like to understand this all, but life don't pitch underhanded balls

You gotta focus and swing when it feels right
Devote to owning delight if you're hoping to free your mind's sight

I hope to grow into my part
My home is sewn into my heart

So when it's time to leave I'll know it's been a vital piece of life as I have seen it and will see it till I find peace/completion
