lyrics

(Ah yes, the party is more than the sum of its guests…)

Was it crimson in color and thus camouflaged?
Drunk, naked, and screaming at the gates of god
Do you feed it when you fear it
could you will it back into existence
with a beg of forgiveness?
(Is he talking bout the heart?)

I'm growing sick of the way this universe defines itself
as if a potion to be mixed;
a series of equations to be solved ...
all under the guise of moral right and wrong
and out beyond
a field where I frolic with a vision of my own intuition
and I
could give a shit
or couldn’t give a
well whichever
I don’t remember
so I kill em with clever
fuck whatever is good enough,
lets start over now ...

Was it golden and setting?
aroused in me pity?
Drenched in that pretty,
a new shade of city ...

and I’m running from the ghost
of a past I
tried to leave at my last lives' gas stop
Guess not
rushing nothing
divinity don’t come easy to the over analytical
and then it hit me
like a ton of bricks
all you have to do is loosen your grip
and
ascension

So you want to get unstuck?
Come closer and I’ll fill your cup
See we can sit an 'conversate
have a talk and walk around
if you listen to what I’m saying

It begins with letting go, you know,
It’ll seem like the end,
Like its all set in stone,
there’s no need to pretend
the more you overthink it
(drink it, dwell it, tell it your woes)
The less you’ll understand about it,
that's how it goes …

What’ you trying to affect as you evaluate?
Forget what you expect and lets accept fate;
turns out when you want to be done it ain’t easy ...
Burns out quick but the smoke can’t leave see

It was bad then, it got worse right?
Lost in the dark, no searchlight ...

You could critique existence 'til your mind blows,
Or bask in rare instances when you find those …

Or shirk it off, pass the buck
Smirk and relax, cuz’ everything fucked

Or disregard it,
move ahead,
ascend ...
If its shitty at the moment
that don’t mean it never ends, now

Take that moment, and hold it,
and own it,
and know the importance of every component.

Or find the thing that tried to keep you from your zenith
and just do it while you hate it while you love it like you need it.
