lyrics

Pulling back the veil of Maya slice through samsara
Are the 10 worlds real or illusion due to karma
Ya can’t harm the essence, and what else is there
A manifestation of balance- but we still ask if it’s fair
I bring myself to a place where I can observe
Cuz to be tethered by the temporal is simply absurd
Even my words dissolve like steam over the tea
I understand that I’m one, still unattached to the beat
I’ll fast for a week, meditate on the moment
& reflect for a second, I’m ignorant but I know it
The Tao that can spoken of is not The Tao
Yet somehow I describe the Way when I rock the crowd
It’s not the how but the why that science cannot explain
You can’t locate the mind by observing a brain
Wisdom ain’t intelligence- I find what’s relevant
Are the keys you find in the process of self development

Horror of samsara keeping me locked in-
To the cycle of birth and death, we can not win
But deep in the seat of the soul is a key
For the warrior brave enough to see & be free

In a moment of clarity focus in lotus position
In a state of darkness light sparks like an ignition
Receive the transmission - then act accordingly
You can sort of see how the impure mind’s distorting things
Beliefs & habit patterns, we don’t stray from the path
We rarely see all the opportunities that we have
Incarnation as a human- one in a million chances
No other being has control over it’s own advancement
And wit that kind of foundation we’re sure to succeed
Unless we fall prey to anger, envy, and greed
Indeed- we live an die by attachment and aversion
Till we build a better version- of the spiritual person
A lyrical excursion only goes so far
Transcending body and mind- find your way to the stars
Samsara is a cycle that seems perpetual
It can be broke in a moment- I throw a thought, you catch a jewel

Horror of samsara keeping me locked in-
To the cycle of birth and death, we can not win
But deep in the seat of the soul is a key
For the warrior brave enough to see & be free

As long as my ego holds me bound
I’m bound to only exist between the sky & the ground
I looked to Mt Si & I found a limitless realm
Beyond life and death- beyond Heaven & Hell
I have a strange tale to tell, but they don’t understand Michael
Even good karma’s bad if it keeps you stuck in the cycle
I’d like to transcend the paradox of polar opposites
And go beyond duality, but keep on rocking this
Flowing out my mind like light from the east
Till I reach the darkness, moonlight brings the beast
I sing over strings for things I wish to achieve
It goes by so fast so take a moment to breathe
Before we come right back to see the circle continue
Know the potential of all that’s possible is within you
But it’s stopped in the bottom while we’re locked in the drama
Until we rise above the horror of samsara.

Horror of samsara keeping me locked in-
To the cycle of birth and death, we can not win
But deep in the seat of the soul is a key
For the warrior brave enough to see & be free
