- Track Name: Looking in a Mirror pt. II
-
Eye to I
Sea and sky
We are time passing by
I to eye
Into why
We are minds going blind
You are you
I am me
But who are we?
We are time passing by
We are minds going blind
We are the keys that we're trying to find
We are the lock
We are the door
We are the room
The ocean's floor
We are our mothers
We are ourselves
We are our heaven
We are our hell
We are the ice
We are the sky
We are ourselves
We are our eyes
Eye to eye
We are sight
A hall of mirrors in the dead of night
I to I
Spine to spine
We take our clothes off and start to cry
I to eye
Look at them
See myself lying in bed
Eye to I
Look at me
But do they see?
Do they look into my eyes?
Do you look into my eyes?
You're asking a question that answers itself
If this were a dream, do you think you could tell?
You've got to let go of one note to move on to the next
So let go of this moment
So wake up from this hex - Track Name: Mysterium Tremendum

When I open my mouth you'll be swallowed alive
Sucked down my throat to the world inside
All my cells and my veins, the place under my skin
And out in the void where we always have been
Through a labyrinth of thought
Running circles again
And arriving back where we were
Inside the machine
But the maze is in me
And the exit in my dreams
When you swim in the sea
You'll be lost to me
As the line that divides melts like ice
Out in the sun of our love
Part of the sum of what's to come
Through a labyrinth of words
Channeled back to the world
Where the hymn that you sang is what forged all your chains
And they're locked by the thought of a two-sided coin
And the key is forgetting your name
Through a blizzard of colors and feelings and sounds
All our bones are dissolved and we lift off the ground
Fall into the sky, and we only have time to ask why
In between songs
When you drift into sleep
You'll return to me
Like the line that divides melts like night
After the dawn has begun
Just as the sun's coming up
The mystery pours out my eyes
And paints the room with life
The moon is made of memories
I have come unstuck in time
Wheels within wheels are turning around
In the sand, we draw line after line
Till the breath of the wind blows it blank yet again
I have come unstuck in mind
I am trying to find what I already know
I am trying to leave, but there's nowhere to go
I am trying to wait, but tomorrow won't come
I am killing myself to return to your love
I am chasing the sun on the wings of this poem
