The World That Never Was
05:38

Surrounded by a sea of people, white noise
Their lips don’t match what I hear, twisted white noise
Sound doesn’t travel far and I end up mixing metaphor
I’m here without being here off in a world unseen
At least ‘till I realize it’s a world that’s never been
Surrounded I start to drift deep into my mind
Streams of thought intertwine, and soon I’ll leave it all behind
I’m here without being here off in a world unseen
At least ‘till I realize it’s a world that’s never been
Dreaming of disaster I drift even deeper still
I can find whole worlds in this prodigal of mine
Perfectly content until
I realize they’re stories, nothing more
Context fictitious; my world is distant
Eyes open wide while blind to real life
Hopelessly caught between it all
This journey ends full circle
I’m here without being here off in a world unseen
At least ‘till I realize it’s a world that’s never been
Tell me something stupid
Tell me that I’m just one man
Tell me that I’m trapped inside
This world that never was
Tell me that I’ll never make it
Tell me that I’m just afraid
Tell me how weak I am for wishing to escape

Level All Waves

Numb
Slowly numb
Just keep coasting, you aren’t as aware
Slide in the needle too slow to feel
Perspective plays a game
Where missing pieces blur the bigger picture
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder blind
Illusory, preconceived,
Misinformed prejudice
Blinded by paradigm
Scorn ignites, hate divides
In a world where we all have
To scream just to be heard
No one can communicate
We’re all deaf, dumb and blind
Connection is impossible
Meaningless and contrived
All because we subdivide
and imagine blurring lines
You think you can feel
But your nerves don’t fire
You’ve leveled all waves
Cynical and jaded
Nothing reaches threshold
You’ve leveled all waves
You never will gain insight
When your cup’s already full
Perception distorts and blinds
Remember to forget
Motion without thought
Emotion without feeling
Numbness disinterests
Discourse without action
Conflict without purpose
Stagnant disinterest
Perception is but a door to infinite
Open we find inherent ties, a beauty within
Perception is but a door to infinite
Endless forms, we are all but one

My senses blur with synesthetic grace
Racing heart sets the pace
Searching in while reaching out
Molecular key eliminates doubt
Fearless I elicit a life-changing journey
For better or worse into my mind
I close my eyes but still can see
Time stands still yet the hours fly by
Wandering with purpose I deconstruct
Tangled knots with new sight
Spirit I call to witness this life-changing journey
For better or worse into my mind
The old ones dissect - no vivisect
Flesh, blood, and bone as living memory
With child-like awe I am confronted with
The utter complexity of this existence
I no longer see in only black and white
Every ideal and every part of myself comes into question
There is acceptance. I am temporary.
I can be me.
They piece me back together
Flawlessly, seamlessly
With newfound knowledge as equals we depart
Twin serpents coil around me
They whisper every secret and I untangle knots
Freed of the world and my bridge of glass
I must return all too soon
Reconnected with reality
This freedom is temporary
Spirit I call to witness this life-changing journey
For better or worse into my mind

States of Disconnection
08:24

All the time in the world you realize
Fleeting and ephemeral are the best of times
You struggle to make sense of mixed signs
You’re lost. Everyone you know has drifted
Ties are impermanent at best
Attachment is born of mutual fear
Words are wind, fickle whispers
Lines in the sand aren’t easily erased
One should never have to try to justify why
One should always simply sail by so silently
One should never have to try to figure why
One should let go so easily
You dreamed of a constellation
Lines in the sky, stars stitched in gold
Outside of time you orbited for a while
But then, one by one you snuffed them out
Let go attachment thrives on fear
Distance is just a trick of the eye
Swallow your pride, stop treading water
This isolation is self imposed
One should never have to try to justify why
One should always simply sail by so silently
One should never have to try to figure why
One should let go so easily
You dreamed of a constellation
But you think it fell apart
Under this crushing force
New stars are born
New paths may meet
Free of this disconnection
Burning for new purpose
Once doubt leaves, regret’s let go
New ties form
New paths may meet
