lyrics

I…
What am I?
Invasive light
What am I?

Birth before awakening, the void
Cannot distinguish between myself and the world
The question not yet to exist
Is this the sum
Of my experience
These first simple moments?

Little by little
Identification between the subject and the object begins
The structure of the self is beginning
The mirror awakens in me. I begin to see…

The change it rockets from the deep
Toward the surface where I sleep
Awaiting, opening my eyes
The change, creating suffering,
Joy – all things and in between
The objects clear in front of me
I am opening my eyes.

My body in this imaginary space
Recognition of myself in the things that I see
The people and places surrounding me

Little by little,
The structure of this mind and identity begins
Unification, purification, discovery
Integrating into this broader personality

Individuation, my mind like fire
Consuming all it touches and sees.
Control and adaptation
Defending against this energy
This mind autonomous
A synthesis of differences

This time awake again

Impulses driving actions
Decisions rooted in regret since infancy
Only upon this deathbed
Can I see clearly as I did
Before when all was fluid
When nothing lived beyond these hands
And all creation was a dream
On the verge of dreaming again
This time awake, slipping into eternity
