lyrics

in my heart it don't feel right
it could become another moment in a well full of centuries
where my ego won out
and i betrayed something bigger

i perceive holy particles
collapsing into rivers of unfragmented consciousness
i see them flowing uphill
toward a light in the heaven

can you see them oozing forth
shimmering structures
(can i hold it? will it soak into my skin?)
can you hear them melting forth
stretching through time
(can i stand beneath it? will it run over me like water?)
i can feel a gentle pull
drawing me inward
(can i find the source of it? will it cradle me like a frightened child?)
can i reach essential self?
can i become love?
(when i one day disintegrate into particulate matter and thought, will the fibers of my mind reverberate and be heard and understood?)

in my gut it don't feel good
it could become another sorrow in a well full of suffering
it would swallow me whole
and i would lose my composure

i consult sacred chemicals
becoming a receptacle of primitive consciousness
i see the elements rise
toward a light in the heaven

in my heart it don't feel right
i could become a flailing loser to my own psychic malady
and let my ego win out
at the expense of something bigger

i receive holy fantasies
envisioning a unity of fragmented consciousness
I watch the rivers conjoin
toward a light in the heaven
