Eyelid 07:16
Do you believe in magic? Invisible to the truth No matter where you’re going The eyelid opens up and looks at you Underneath the monolith I live Underneath the heaviest eyelid Down around the corner where I live Underneath the heaviest eyelid Underneath the heaviest I’m looking for a meaning But all I found was a view With every day that passes The eyelid opens up and looks at you Nobody asked the question Maybe it’s time that we do “What ever is our purpose When the eyelid opens up to look at you?” Underneath the monolith I live I want to climb a mountain So I can reach for the moon And when I look at Earth now My eyelid opens up to look at you Underneath the monolith I live Underneath the heaviest eyelid Down around the corner where I live Underneath the heaviest eyelid Underneath the heaviest

Feel the beat in your rhythm Feel the beat in your legs Feel the beat in your body I don't know where I've been I don't know what I've seen I've been in the streets That's the way she goes Where I've gone I just don't know Where I'm going I've ought to know I've got nowhere else to roam Put me in this situation Take me away from this automation Get me away from here That's the way she goes Where are you taking me, where are we going? I've got somewhere else to be I've lost all my fears but my conscious is taking its toll on me Feeling the weight of the world Feeling the wait of it all Feeling the fall Here we are, falling from above I'm passing by you, I'm picking up Taking the steps of my calling That's the way she goes Where are you taking me, where are we going? I've got somewhere else to be I've lost all my fears but my conscious is taking its toll on me Talking politely won't get you on going so let me take over from here That's the way she goes

Lookin’ out my window through a hole And it’s giving me control I don’t wanna feel so old And looking through that window there’s a soul But it’s making me so cold Bitterness, I suppose But what’s a soul to do without a home? Lookin’ through my head and there’s a screen And it’s suffocating me Network-based disease And somebody once said that life’s a dream But I don’t quite agree Simulate you and me So now we simulate the soul a home I walked up that hill And I saw no company So I took that red pill and felt a beauty over me I had my head down Between my shoulders But inside that dome I took a breath so sober I am the Fool! I am the Fool! I wandered back home And found no misery Unbeatable vibes amongst amazing company A ghost in a shell I’m metamorphing My body’s unplugged and my soul is transforming I am the Fool! I am the Fool! I found my body Somewhere in Guyamar Inside the brain of a Wizard born out of a jar The son of Buford A child of the King But I can feel now that this is not the end for me I am the Fool! I am the Fool!

Deeper Water 14:28
My home is filling up with water as we speak But now I’m telling you I’m not coming out You say it’s better when we all just learn to think But now I’m telling you That I’m not thinking now So maybe you should join me In the water Sink to the bottom My furniture is never gonna be the same But now I’m telling you That I’m not getting out My home is fully submerged in the deepest rain And I’ve been telling you That I ain’t moving out So maybe you should join me In the water Sink to the bottom Of the deeper water In the deeper water In the deeper water In the deeper water Following our fathers To the deepest water To the deepest water In the deeper water Something is amok Something underwater Something grabbed my foot! Now I’m underwater Light fades away Following the monster To the deeper water To the deeper water Look out for the sand Gnome Can’t breathe when I’m in the zone I wish I could break free Don’t need the company I see where the light goes Breaking right through the stone Surface come to me Oxygen enter me I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk I don’t wanna talk about it I don’t wanna talk about it 19.95 and you can run Everything in high definition Everything is so pretty to see Everybody’s beautiful to me 19.95 and you can own Every little piece of rock and stone Every little piece of earth is free It’s a little piece inside of me Do the other thing and give it time Everybody’s waiting on the vine You don’t have a single piece of the Appleberry or the apple tree Do the better thing and take a breath Everybody’s got one in the chest Everybody’s got to drink their tea But why they gotta take it out on me Sting a little bit to hear the words Time and time again now I have heard Time and time again I have to flee Off into into a place where I am free But now I’m going back inside my head Maybe I could leave this Earth instead Maybe I could find a way to bring Everybody’s friends and family Extraterritoriality You can take a little ride with me Leaving planet Earth for a new home Leaving all of this old dirt and stone Enter outer space and enter black Keep the dollar bills inside my stack Everybody’s on their way to see Everybody’s on their way to Drink the deeper water It’s time to go home I know that I’m the zone I fought and I broke free From the monster’s company I know where the light goes It goes right through the stone It goes right through me Oxygen enter me I guess we’re really never gonna learn our beat But I’m telling you I’m not dying out The deeper water made a journeyman of me And now I’m telling you Time is running out

Wasting time, out of my mind And I don't mind if you do But please don't mind Cuz I've got worlds to choose I've got time to lose And no, I can't refuse In time I'll see Sitting on a mountain Think of all the things I've done And hope that when I'm off it I'll know that I have done no wrong Cuz I've got worlds to choose I've got time to lose And no, I can't refuse In time I'll see Wasting time, out of my mind And I don't mind if you do So please don't mind Cuz I've got worlds to choose I've got time to lose And no, I can't refuse In time I'll see
