lyrics

A.

I saw a cliff that tempted a promise of power to fix what I lacked
It reaches so much higher than I ever anticipated to climb
But I climb

I disappear into the brushes
Leaving your mortal rules behind
Physical barriers evaporate
I learn to dance outside the lines

Gaze across the valleys you can earn
Become engrossed with the prize
Singularity is waiting at the peak

I cross behind the line of total comprehension
I share the thoughts of every flower
My pores are sensitive to every new formation
And soon Ill dawn my golden hour

Gaze across the mountains you can earn
Become engrossed with the prize
Singularity is now within your reach

Somewhere inside me I always knew
The sparkling gestures wouldn’t get me through to you
And now even predators fear pursuit
They run, why do they run away

At the top of the sky I always knew
I’d pose for a portrait to be hung above the pews
A cosmic connection to the human views
Was founded after toppling the ones who made it true

And on my ascent I always knew
The embers were the only thing that I’d be fit to rule
The light swirls around me creating a cocoon

And I ooze from my soul while it consumes me
And I try to deny that it’s killing me
And I want to embrace and investigate
But there’s nobody there who can support and share
Just energy energy energy sealing my fate

Warp into a hall of mirrors
Each reflection aged
Damp and claustrophobically
We trade demises

Different climate same ancestry
Always dig it out
Exponentially increasing
Worlds we’ve torn apart

C.

If you want
To find your peace
Sow the seed
Don’t hold on
Just pass it on
