[Chorus] See writing on the wall I walk on by - is not for me Read writing on the wall No matter try, cannot relate [Verse 1] I'm a lotus flower Floating in the sky I'm eternal soul Apple of my eye Only passing through Today say hello, tomorrow goodbye I'm a part of you I identify [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 2] I'm a restless wind Blowing in my mind Self divinity Easy now deny One yet different Same time resonates - something deep within In my court of truth My desire is king [Breakdown] [Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 1] Believable for person A Ridiculous for person B But what decides which resonate, gravitates? Enlighten me [Verse 2] Logical for person A Irrational for person B But what decides which point of view I 'dentify? Enlighten me [Chorus] If desire plays king in land of truth Whatever serves him rules the roost Facilitates, sings his song Remind me now what I want [Verse 3] Intuitive for person A Unthinkable for person B But what decides which given safe, truth or faith? Enlighten me [Repeat Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 4] All wrapped up for person A Conspiracy for person B But what decides the done and dust, no need discuss? Enlighten me [Repeat Chorus x 2]

[Chorus v1] Just because body is small Why deny you right to live Why assume no preference Life or death indifference, why?

No Every Time Thank You 03:54
lyrics

[Verse 1] I lost my certainty Seduced by honesty High price paid for asking why Forsook the cosy lie Now no longer feel belong Solo walk my road alone My apple in my hand Still I never understand why But if I could turn the clock back I'd say no every time, thank you [Verse 2] I'm excommunicate No place to call my home Nobody to relate No reception on my phone Self deception my old friend Always waiting in the wings Clutch my apple in my hand Still I never understand why And if I could turn the clock back I'd say no every time, thank you [Solo] [Verse 3] The hour is getting late My candle burning low Answers ever far away Question every thing I know Chaita guru in my heart Why you keep me in the dark? Mouldy apple in my hand Will I ever understand why? Still if I could turn the clock back I'd say no every time, thank you

[Chorus] Time and again, around and round we go Start over again Time and again, up and down we climb End begin again [Verse 1] And all the while we wonder why Samsara born, samsara die A roll of dice or grand design A game of chance or plan divine [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 2] And all the while we wonder why Role-play anew past life forget Memory wipe, system reset Against the odd pray resurrect [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 3] And all the while we wonder why With every birth, with every death [Instrumental] [Repeat Chorus]

Own Opinion 02:48
lyrics

[Verse 1] Quote authority, satisfy your mind Assemble evidence, justify belief Via-media subjective deny But why then insecure - hide behind a lie?

[Repeat Chorus] [Instrumental + spoken word] Own opinion ... own it, don't be shy. It's your personal appreciation / epiphany ... something to celebrate I think. [Verse 3] Find it hard admit maybe I am wrong And even if I'm not - just know little bit Certainly not enough to contra-truth dismiss Preach everyone adopt ... why would I resist? [Repeat Chorus x2]

[Verse 1] Maybe when you hear this song I'm already moved on Still I pray today some comfort find For I wrote these words for you, YES YOU [Verse 2] Isolated story shared Disconnected, fractured If you feel nobody understands Then I wrote these words for you, YES YOU [Chorus] So you will know you're not alone Will know you're not alone No, you are not alone [Verse 3] Outlook jaded, trust no one Childhood sparkle faded If you everywhere find fact is lie Then I wrote these words for you, YES YOU [Instrumental] [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 4] Contradiction in your heart Certainty evades you Feel you chasing answers in the dark Then I wrote these words for you, YES YOU
