[Chorus]
Just because not for me
I dismiss 'unworthy'
Deny divinity always explore / expressed
Argue my path the best
Just because not for me
[Verse 1]
People queued up for hours
Wholesale consumer crowd
Must have latest must have
Buy material lies
Ownership satisfies
Limit you by my mind
Part and parcel yet shines
Spark of splendour reflects
Ev'rything you possess
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
People painting their face
Dye disguising their greys
Decorating dead flesh
Bodily 'dentify
Self confusing their I
Limit you by my pride
Fail to recognise smile
Spark of splendour survives
Ev'rything beautified
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
People preaching belief
Politician to priest
As if absolute fact
As if believable known
As if given predisposed
Limit you by my truth
Forget all contribute
Spark of splendour pass by
Wear my plank in my eye
[Repeat Chorus]

Hidden the ruse
Sew deep the seed, confuse the truth

Kali yuga - one leg standing - give me truth
Don't abandon me, show me mercy - give me truth

The evil art
Reality is fantasy

To open eyes, to pay the price

Were you lonely
Standing alone
With no autonomous other looking on in wonder?
Verse 1

After your opus
Without somebody appreciate what you had done?
Verse 2
Did you feel empty within your soul
In spite of success
Without another with whom to share beauty expressed

Did you get lonely, erstwhile depressed
In isolation
Without somebody appreciate your genius?

Happy Coincidence
03:12
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
I preach to my mind 'patient confidence'
In outcome keep faith
No doubt only time separates
My falling in place
Success manifest
Await next happy coincidence
[Verse 1]
So when I fear absence of progress, remind me
Never think therefore unworthy
Or don't deserve to realise my cherished dreams
Or God ignores me, on my knees ...
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
And where I find myself despondent remind me
You trust in God 'did not say no'
Is question only when-will timing - come to pass
For all the while the stage prepares
[Middle 8]
And if some dreams not manifest
Can only conclude did not serve me
In the way foolishly once
Believed they would - mistakenly
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
And if my soul be disillusioned, remind me
Remember why I take my birth
The where I come from, whom a part of, who remain
Await my next happy coincidence

Do Your You Like You Do
03:09
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I was thinking 'bout the reason
People imitate
Emulation, replication
Motivation explain
[Verse 2]
Prepared deceive, fabricate truth
Monetize the muse
Prostitute it, use or abuse it
Sacred art reduce
[Bridge]
I wonder why forsake sublime
Miraculous divine I
I wonder why dumb down, deny
Create a lie, contrive ... for
[Chorus]
You are magical, true original
Natural you-unique
Comes to being you, none ever compete
Do your you like you do ... genuine
... why settle for less?
[Verse 3]
Mimic gimmick, impersonator
Copy cat faker, but I
Want to know you, feel the real you
Beautiful you are
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
... now that's what I'm interested in

Come To Remind Me
04:18
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
I sense your smile
As time and again forget
You come to remind me you never left my side
I feel your light
Illuminate my black night
Where I am abandoned, bereft and alone am I
[Verse 1]
Yet I am prone to doubt
In spite all evidence
That I am not alone, ever
And sometimes feel I'm lost
My way back home forgot
Odysseus on Ogygia
Forlorn for seven years, marooned
But Calypso innocent
Know only by my choice I'm here
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
And my biggest fear of all
Is I'm obliged by you
Against my will you force submission
It makes no sense to me
For scope to love believe
Requires freedom to choose yes/no .. do I even have a say?
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]

Deep Thought
04:07
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
I gave you my answer
Forty two told you
Go figure the question
Listen to Deep Thought
[Verse 1]
Don't you talk to Marvin
He will only bring you down
He was always depressed
Nothing you can say will change the way he feels
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Human need for meaning
Of universe and everything
Anything cling on to
Any point of view believable will do
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Ever reach conclusion
High improbability
Understand the reason
Arthur, you don't have the eyes to see, sorry
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]

Something Deep Familiar
03:40
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I open my eyes
I draw down my blinds
Emotions subside
But awareness survives
[Verse 2]
So talk to my mind
I try to explain
Past life now forgot
But unconscious retained
[Chorus]
Something deep familiar
'nother life time echo believe
In this dream reality
You so feel like memory to me
[Verse 3]
Remember my youth
My lost and alone
Was I searching for you
'n all those turning of stones?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Without knowing why
Life fight to fit in
Struggle to adjust
My heart in the past
[Repeat Chorus x 3]

Do We Even?
02:36
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
Do we even have a say?
Do we even have a voice?
Did we ever stand a chance?
Do we really have a choice?
[Verse 1]
It seems we are powerless to resist the fate written in the stars
Obliged as if hands were tied, destiny awaits as time and tide dictates
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
It seems we are karma bound by action forgot from another life
Somehow universe requires balance opposite - third Newton law predicts
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
It seems this an endless cycle of samsara, as if born to die
Around and around we go, up and down we flow, across species divide
[Chorus x 3]
(I think we do)

Measure My Worthy
02:39
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
To validate my existence
I look to society and friend
Identify who I am by how perceived
[Verse 2]
To validate my existence
Decide I must social network grow
I figure success by who I know / knows me
[Chorus]
To measure my worthy I forget
Remember where come from
To measure my worthy long neglect
Consider whom part of
To measure my worthy
[Verse 3]
To validate my existence
I feel I must earn my money first
To justify self respect deserved I learned
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 4]
To validate my existence
Believe I must build an empire first
To justify why I take this birth on Earth

Sleeper Biding Time
03:53
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Cannot understand them
Ambiguous labeled song words
May be clever-trevor poetry
But they never connect for me
[Verse 2]
Cannot enter into
As if penned for someone other
Impersonal - heart and soul removed
Yet same time respect you
[Bridge]
You seem to me head-in-clouds remote
Will walk feet-on-ground one day - hold out hope
[Chorus]
There's something about you - vibe
What is cannot put my finger on
's as if you were sleeper biding time
[Verse 3]
Cannot comprehend you
Even after explanation
Yet somehow your music resonates
My mind none the wiser
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Spoken Word]
Is it possible my seeming ambiguity has more to do with newness of concept rather than purposeful smoke screening? That experience of ambiguity is subjective to personal mindset, rather than to lack of clarity in broadcast of ideas? And this type of thinking simply does not serve the recipient in context of their chosen life objective and is therefore heard as gobbledygook?
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]

High Noon
02:00
|
|||
|
[Spoken]
Is this my high noon?
[Chorus]
Do not forsake me this the hour of need
As all around well wisher gather
Pray folded hand on bended knee
Do not forsake me, hear my prayer-plea
[Verse 1]
When everyone has made amends
Tied up loose ends all, only then
When nothing left remains unsaid
Graceful face my final curtain
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
When everything is said and done
Celebrate divine adventure
When last farewell has come and gone
Peaceful place my soul in your hands
[Spoken]
Hare Krishna
