Obedient slave you must behave
From the beginning to the end
and back to zero again
they wish to control you here
and even follow you into the grave
engulf you with fear
so you will behave.

You think you're free
Yet the chains print the name in you
You're branded as a slave
Part of a slave race
Like cattle to the market
The Controls of religion and politics
Have you in their grip.

To the spirits I come
Away from the flesh of existence
And know everything I am
Exist somewhere in another form
although that form is conscious
It is not really human

To the shadows I form
and know this shadow is merely me
Using another anatomy
lurking behind the door
Until you can't see me no more
I exist as darkness and give it meaning

To the light I go
The only light I'll ever know
That gives my soul existence
and my spirit soon follows
away from this rotting corpse
This corpse we think is ourselves

we are the earth
born from the stars
we are stardust
but much more we are

we inherited nature
we're not made for the city
we left our first love
to become humanless and ugly not pretty

We are the egomania animal
we think we're so important, the center of everything
and were really just another mammal
Maybe everything's special in the bigger picture of things

we are cruel and merciful
We know how to consciously invoke terror
and we know how to consciously invoke compassion
We are both sides, evil and good, full of life and passions

beds of nails
Let us sleep
indiscriminately deep
and dream lucidly
like we did
when we saw acid trees

young woman
You old girl
sleeping strong
in a curl
like your hair
you swirl

and I bathe in the sea
of a night of lucid dreams
and make haste to the shore
To see you some more
and breathe in and believe
we can be kids that climb acid trees

I hear you paddle
I hear you cry
is it your shadow?
You can never leave behind

we make our way
through the tired waves
And pray its not the same
Finally free from being slaves

And I ***** in the darkness
On a night of lucid dreams
And make haste to the sunrise
to live with you free
and dance inside ourselves
and be kids that climb acid trees
