Know Your Enemy

We’re drowning we’re in so deep ugh
Eyes drifting from counting sheep ugh
Its getting hotter, this machines out of order, when its late its too late.
Politicians jump ship, when things get heated.
keep your notes of promise, I am more than cog in a system of profit.
Misaligned from our destiny.
Do you know your enemy?
We’re in a war this is a battle ground
We fighting each other like a pack of hounds.
Self centred no compromise,
No one can see past their own miserable lives.
System breeds insecurity
Always needing more to be happy.
A pack of wolves,
Carnivores,
looking for an easy score.
who are they working for?
No price is to high to pay.
Do you know your enemy?
A balance act
What goes up comes down.
There’s no point hiding,
The wolves out on the prowl.
There’s no say In this tuned machine.
Do you know you’re enemy?
We’re drowning we’re in so deep ugh
Eyes drifting from counting sheep ugh
Its getting hotter, the machines out of order, when its late its too late.
Politicians jump ship, when things get heated!
keep your notes of promise, I am more than cog in a system of profit.
The system is killing us.
Economic prisoners.
Be a good citizen
pay your tax.
Destruction is imminent
But please stay relaxed,
While the blind are leading Us over the edge of a cliff.
Our pockets are green, but our hearts stopped beating,
Moneys become our common myth.
And though its still a mass denial,
The biggest enemy's within.
The clock ticks a minute to midnight,
I can hear the words echo from hindsight.
If we could do it again, how would we do it different?
Now that we know what we’re doing. Would we change it all?
Thought we swore we’d try,
To make an effort, make another life.
If we could do it again, would we do it different?
What would we prioritise if we could change it all?

Beyond the Self

Open your eyes,
These tainted words make us blind.
There’s more to life beyond labels and signs.
There’s no black white, the narrative told is a lie.
Our paths aligned to destroy all life.
Step up,
Can you hear me?
Listen to these words.
There’s something running deeper.
My words cannot describe,
What’s seen with the mind’s eye.
From here a silver lining,
Can be seen.
We are one conscious being,
Distracted in this duality.
We’re all on one side,
We fight so we can identify.
One from one another,
Separation is the prize.
What does it really mean,
To be so unique?
We creating dissonance between,
Pushing the limits of our link.
Coordination
A certain effort to define us by the immutable
Cooperation
To put you in your place with motherfucking race
Coordination
A single entity devoted to division among us all
Go ahead and sort us all
I stand on the shoulder of giants,
From here I see a silver lining.
We’re sharing the same life,
Hearts beating unified.
The universe is realised,
I’m on the shoulder of giants.
These tainted words make us blind.
There’s more to life beyond labels and signs.
There’s no black white, the narrative told is a lie.
Our paths aligned to destroy all life.
The universe,
A projections of the mind,
Behind the fear and doubts, the narrative and the lies.
Fear born from the ego,
Afraid to be alone.
Channelling a single consciousness,
A universal mind.
Of course we feel alone,
God is alone.
I’m cutting ties with everyone,
Finally untangling the web of comparisons.
In the end I know I only gotta learn to love myself,
When I do that, it goes beyond the self.
If I’m looking externally for self-esteem,
I’m not realising that love comes from deep within.
Humble enough to accept my mistake,
As I climb onto the shoulder of the greats.
I stand on the shoulder of giants,
From here I see a silver lining.
We’re sharing the same life,
Hearts beating unified.
The universe is realised,
I’m on the shoulder of giants.
The universe a projection of the mind,
Behind the fear the doubts, the narrative and the lies.
I feel alive.
Channelling a single consciousness, a universal mind.
Of course we feel alone,
God is alone.
Don't you yearn to be colorblind
Oppose their weak interpretation
Of the nuance in our lives
A system standing complacent
I'd rather replace/erase it
For the sake of in mind
For the fate of all mankind

End of Duality
04:12

Burning in the flames,
Relics of this game,
A whole life turned to ashes in a moment of passing pain.
A whispering of change,
A sign of better,
Days to come, never the same, rising up with ashes from the flames.
Burning words, searing truth,
In embers, of virtue,
Into the fire, primal desire.
Search for something higher.
Message written in the flames,
Love runs deeper than the pain.
The only certainty is life will change.
Ride it out, ride it out ride out the wave
Up with the Flames.
Lost in this eternal flame,
Like those that came before me,
We came to this world with nothing,
And We take nothing when we leave.
Could this really be the end of duality.
We’re one in love we’re on in life, we’re on in everything.
Yeah, When it all breaks down, what can you hold on to.
You only know whats real when your life is in pieces,
That’s when you know you’re living.
Your love, your pain, is your making,
And all emotions in between,
Life's a masterpiece your Living.
Burning in the flames,
Relics of this game,
A whole life turned to ashes in a moment of passing pain.
A whispering of change,
A sign of better,
Days to come, never the same, rising up with ashes from the flames.
Embers glowing, light breaks through,
Love’s the universal truth.
But it doesn’t seem,
But its all love, we all share the same dream,
Behind the name,
Behind the image we all want the same,
To belong to something bigger than me,
To belong to something bigger than us,
To belong to something bigger than this.
There’s only one way to go from the bottom.
It feels like we’re their too often,
Just makes the will grow stronger.
And in these moments when you really have got nothing,
That’s when you feel most alive,
You see the love behind everyone's eyes.
Dressed up in beliefs,
I bear witness to this change,
Ashes from a burning dream.
Yeah, When it all breaks down, what can you hold on to.
You only know whats real when your life is in pieces,
That’s when you know you’re living.
Your love, your pain, is your making,
And all emotions in between,
Life's a masterpiece your Living.

Die the Same

This order drives me mental.
Losing humanity.
Don’t sell your soul, manners don’t come for free. (don’t come for free)
We choose a life of misery.
Wake the fuck up, don’t numb yourself, you’re a victim victim of apathy.
Enslaved (to our brothers).
A mass denial.
Strive for success, don’t know what it entails.
Progress (to a goal),
On the back of others.
We do not acquiesce to this planned dissonance.
Can you hear me through this hazy dream?
I am your ego, your alter ego, trying to outreach.
Express yourself,
You’ll fall into a personal hell.
It never works following the crowd.
Everyone is here,
Is Here for a reason.
Reflect yours elf.
Do you know there’s more than what you see?
A secret life hidden just beneath.
Blue pill red pill,
It doesn’t matter what you take
We all die the same.
Disorder is my order.
In chaos I found peace.
On the remnants of civility I found me.
I choose love every time
We live in a fallacy
Where the fuck are our morals, money over humanity.
Reflection of the times,
The story of our lives.
Trying to find meaning
In a colourful lie.
We crawl through life trying to define.
We’re laid to rest with our regrets that we didn’t enjoy the ride.
Ignoring the distractions,
I choose love every time.
If I’m trying to find meaning
I’m detracting from the now.
The question of our lives,
Love answers every time.
I’m not looking for meaning, I’m alive, I’m alive.
Express yourself,
You’ll fall into a personal hell.
It never works following the crowd.
Everyone is here,
Is Here for a reason.
Reflect yours elf.
Do you know there’s more than what you see?
A secret life hidden just beneath.
Blue pill red pill,
It doesn’t matter what you take
We all die the same.
