lyrics
The nature of the soul
Is to metamorphosize
As the world around me changes
I see through different eyes
And can’t believe how I could be so blind
How could I come this far with nothing to guide me?
The question then becomes
Do I adapt or succumb
Or do I stagnate waiting for my turn to find myself?
Beneath the treads,
Living as the waking dead,
Resisting reincarnation over and over again
At the end when all that waits is death
Will I find myself enlightened or will I simply be sent
Back to the void to someday reemerge
Fragmented yet intact
Held together by thread
Back to the void to someday reemerge
Will I remember?
Will I remember who I am?
As the ego dies,
I am finally free of these bindings
Free from hate and lies
I can finally see my guiding light
Where words had once occurred to me
There now is nothing
A vastness I did not believe could ever truly be
But in this emptiness
I do not find fear, unhappiness, or sorrow
Just a warm and gentle glow
That fills me as my understanding slips away
Here before me a place that I have been
Long, long ago in a time of non-remembrance
Images that once had been so clear
Dissipate into each other
I push to send them
Back to the void to someday reemerge
As something wholly different
A better thread
Back to the void to someday reemerge
Will I remember?
Will I remember who I am?
As the ego dies
I am finally free of these bindings
Nothing left to hide
Spirit raw and finally flying high
Nothing behind me
And nothing below
Only a new path forward
A reckoning of the soul
Pulled apart and simplified
To a single solid core
Like a seed bursting with life
Waiting to be sown
Eagerly I stand
Waiting to be born as something new
As the ego dies
I am finally free of my bindings
Screaming to the sky
Tears are falling
I am finally alive
