The Blind

It is a fancy trick
To see what something is
As if no one did
And then to realize
That everything is lies
— You’re a prophet now.
The fire in the sky
Reflecting in your eyes
And hypnotizing you
Is gonna rain down now
Consuming everything
And no one’s coming back, yeah!
And who would dare deny
The rightness of what’s right?
It’s what you say.
There is no middle ground
And starting from right now
I’m blind?
If we’re all in that cave and shackled
Then who holds the puppets before the fire light?
Are you one who’s seen the sun? Are you blinded?
Or was it I who saw the sun?—’cause you say I’m blind too.

A Hymn to Nonbeing
04:55
|
|||
|
Like words intoned in long-forgotten incantations
Of ancient strains embedded in my soul—
Spiritus mundi of pure consciousness
Reaching into depths of nothingness…
Ah! Uncanny other,
Everywhere and nowhere!
Before too long there is no more metaphor
What can one say non-being “is”?
Nonbeing is…
Nonbeing is disclosing of being.

Come Home
06:22
|

So much has changed since you first went away.
Well I’m still here — that much is the same.
And even from so far away, I still loved you
So you don’t have to hide your shame.
Come home,
You’ve been away so long.
If what it takes is giving my own flesh and blood
And never holding you in my arms again
Even if it were to be done at your own hands—
Even then, I would gladly give.
I know that it hurts.
Well, that’s your cue:
Now that you know what death is like,
Which death do you choose?
Come home.

Any Other Way

Party was over before it began.
Promise was broken before it was made.
It couldn’t have been any other way,
So why all this petty insecurity?
It couldn’t have been any other way,
So why all this restless anxiety?
Party was over before it began.
Been through this over and over and over again.

Absolute Faith
05:12
|
|||
|
Faith is not belief.
Mental state alone is not enough.
Faith is more a way of being-in.
(dasein)
We are grounded in the is that all things are,
As all things are,
For our being there is how Being speaks our is to be.
(Logos)

Becoming
04:42
|
|||
|
As every death exists in each conception,
How you begin determines how you will end.
So when you journey into the unknown,
What you are really looking for is home.
Although we’re destined to wander,
Although it feels like we’re going so far,
I know we’re really going home;
I know that in the end we’re coming home.
When you are lost is when you’re on the right path:
The way of knowledge lies in ignorance.
And when the search is over, you will come
To understand what you knew all along.
