In the beginning, there was Genesis (Life),
placing an emphasis
on expressing just what is stressing us
We keep testing ourselves and what's surrounding us
We're always hurting ourselves, shadows are doubting us
But sunny days exist to remind us
the road less traveled keeps our fears far behind us
We seek a glimpse of the hope we're taught to wish upon,
the secret fault in our stars, the ones we're wishing on
Truth is protruding a menacing declaration
Living life bottom’s up 'cause we're searching for inspiration
Matter over the mind, alcohol over manners
Obsessive, manic depressive,
we're always dropping the hammer
We feel the happiness, the hate, and the heartbreak
the undeserving hurt and the fears that raise our heart rate
the fond memories and the catchy melodies,
the lasting friendships and irreplaceable family...
...and then with Life comes Death,
we see it everyday - the sick and hungry losing health
We make do with the bitter taste of joy,
that sweet scent of sorrow,
functioning in a manner
that distances our tomorrow
Bury the ones that we've lost,
the hands of time are clapping
Standing ovation to loss?
We question what just happened....
...and after death comes Enlightenment (Synthesis),
We're taking sage advice
from the ones who brought us into this
You give a man a fish?
He's fed and on his way,
but if you teach a man to fish,
you feed him everyday
Rip off a piece of that canvas,
paint to your heart's content,
and trust that we'll understand this
and give you our consent
Very capable of manifesting a journey
so write to the beat of your rhythm
but please, not in a hurry
Just close your eyes and dream,
and listen to the stream
Tune yourself to the infinite
and find your inner theme.
