lyrics

I cannot find
An exit doorway of the mind
And I will not die
Behind my own eyes
This forlorn path laid out
Leads me to be fearful
And makes me doubt if I can trust
The guides encountered, maybe reencountered

(Who is she?)
Who is she?
Who seems able to calm the madness of the sea
And pass it to this familiar and strange species
It travels like all the veins in the leaves
Its a feeling foreign and cold, not so bold,
Clarity

What is the goal of a man without?
But dirt underneath the fingernails
Left or right on this road matters
More than what lies at the end
It appears as if my mind has sent another
And I wait for subconscious one liners
I can feel that somethings different here
At times your shadow disappears
And I'm left to sense the presence of Creator

(Who is she?)
Who is she?
Materialized from nature at my feet
Radiance emitting in UV waves I can see
Unlocking the senses ordinarily hidden from human beings
How could she have gotten here?

So I ask.
She seems able to calm the madness of the sea
And pass it to this familiar and strange species
It travels like all the veins in the leaves
Its a feeling foreign and cold, not so bold,
Clarity

What is the purpose of life?
To be the ears and eyes
What is the meaning of time?
To ignore the snake's (man's) device

Why do the plants grow outside?
To escape the home's delight
Why do the children bother with fright?
To cope with their bond with the night

Why am I captive of my mind?
To learn the science behind (one thought jumping)
What makes the sun shine?
The firing of Earth's collective mind

Why do the mothers cry?
They bear the fruit of new life
What is the purpose of new life?
"To be the ears and eyes and conscience of
The creator of the universe, you fools"
