Insomnia

Mind and body lie in torment
Yearning for elusive rest
Please - bloodshot eyes keep burning
Please - it feels like years since I’ve slept
I curse the consciousness that’s keeping me from sleep
I fear I’m gonna lose my mind
Every night’s become a war inside of me
I’m always on the losing side
Come the morning when the sunlight hits my eyes
I swear to god I’ll die inside
Another day to live devoid of energy
Another long and sleepless night

Doors of Perception

All my perceptions died
When I crawled outside the cave
In and out of time
Vibrating with the waves
The doors were open wide
The sun in my face
So I stumbled forward, blind
Into this unknown place
And in my mind I found new sight- the shadows cast the source of light
The border line between two sides
When order falls the chaos thrives
Live on that line
I wandered for some time
My vision still in a haze
A wizard saw my strife
And offered to lend his aid
He said the truth you seek to find
Is hidden away
In the place you most despise
That pit deep within your cave
And in my mind I found new sight- the shadows cast the source of light
The border line between two sides
When order falls the chaos thrives
Live on that line

Breathe in and out
Be here and now
See beyond yourself
Breathe in and out
Pay no mind to what your thoughts may be
Though they come in waves you are the sea
Like the steady flowing of a stream
So your mind will be so let it be
Wake up from sleep
Feel reality
Let your mind be free
Breathe

Magic Woman
05:31

I met a mighty magic woman
She cast her spell with her eyes
Now enchanted in a love affair
Man, it took no time
She’s from the land of my dreams, a diamond in the sky
I found a mighty magic woman
The kind you don’t meet twice
Took a plane down to Las Vegas- gonna make her my magic wife!
Magic woman you mystify!
Beyond beauty, outside of time
To gain your favor I’d give my life!
Magic woman, my queen of light!
It took a mighty magic woman
To get me down on one knee
This jewel passed down through generations- great grandmas diamond ring
The magic woman agreed
To spend a lifetime with me
I don’t deserve a magic woman
She chose a mortal like me
We found a chapel in Las Vegas now I live in a magic dream
Magic woman you mystify!
Beyond beauty, outside of time
To gain your favor I’d give my life!
Magic woman, my queen of light!

Farewell young life
My time on this earth’s flying by (pan from right to left)
These 25
Come and gone in the blink of an eye
A fading light
I’ll burn out like every fire
Before I die
Will I smoke out the truth I desire?
I see many paths before me as the sand in the hourglass falls
No matter the path I may take certain death still awaits for us all
This fleeting time
Slips away like the dawn’s early light
Each year slips by - just as swift as the hour it arrived
This mind will die- released from the prison of time
Will my soup fly? Free at last from the prison of time
So many the paths before me as the sand in the hourglass falls
I pray for the wisdom to take narrow paths toward the garden of old

Ode to Time
02:54
|

|
Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou silent form will still remain
Undying wraith, eternal one
We flee though we find no escape
No king or kingdom shall withstand
The ray of decay

Ray of Decay
04:39
|
|||
|
Dust turns to dust, the ashes float away
The steady marching of time, immortal ray of decay
To stare it in the face, to bear all its weight
wrest this mortal veil concealing our fate
Immortal ray of decay
Stars stop burning
Black returning
All life destined to decay
Ray of lightning
Passes by me
Out of nothing- a new day
immortal ray of decay
