Yo

When I consider that I exist on this Earth
Subsist with such mirth
Blissed-out and purposed

I feel an insistence
To close the distance
I've kept from a sense
Of responsibility

This way that I see
Surroundings as utility
Knowing full well
That I have the ability
To see your hell

And handle with fragility
I could dispel
The idea of the enemy

Otherness

The global forgetfulness of oneness
The AT fields that we choose to shield
Our hearts with and wield
Our fears as weapons
Protection from intervention
Inventions perpetuating our perceptions
That we are separate in our selection
That we our sectioned

Our predilection
For preservation
With complications
Of all our nations
Communications
Falling flat

'Cause we can't understand that
We will always be chewing the same fat
We will sustain and maintain that
'Till the day that we may ascertain fact

If there is such a thing in the void's hat
If there is sense in the way anything acts
And I stand with my doubts still about that

[You cannot beat the game]
[You can have the temporary illusion of winning]
[But by compensation, you will every so often]
[Have the temporary illusion of losing]
[When you go down a step from Yang to Yin]
[You’ll feel "I’ve lost something"]
[When you go up a step from Yin to Yang]
[You’ll feel "I’ve gained something"]

[How would you know gain without loss?]
[How can you have the sensation of more,]
[Unless in relation to the sensation of less?]
[For sensation is simply awareness of contrast]

Believe you me I can see the trees breathing
I am attuned to the kids screaming
I understand what you're scheming
And I am not even close to disagreeing

I am lost

It doesn't help to understand the cost
It's the profit I don't get
I don't know where the gold sits
I can't predict the market

I can't do a cost-benefit
When I'm unfit to interpret the latter
To grasp at the ladder
That leads to the benefactor
Supreme actor
Wherever you are
I don't believe the answer is just among the stars
I don't believe any of us ever make it that far

One day everything will end, and then it will restart
I would only like to be here for as long as we are
Let me be there when the lights shut off
When the space shutters one last cough

By then I'll be ready to accept what is not
Unless my will is real, and I crush nihil
And my soul can really carry on
But I won't hold my breath, or barrel headlong for death

I will fight the stress that bites at my neck
With vain hope the next decade is the test
To see who will rest inside nature's breast

And the future's nest; what I'm desperate
To attest to giving my best to
I cannot rest till I've made my point
And felt the joy of all I know is there

I'm only scared of having to miss out
I'm only scared because I have this doubt
I'm only scared that I just might be wrong
I'm only scared that I may not be strong
I'm only scared that I could die too soon
I'm only scared that I will cry right through

The final scene, and that I will be moved
I just can't deal, I just can't deal

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel

Oh God let me be real
If the time is soon then I would like to feel
