Like A Lucid Dream

[Guitar Refrain]
[Chorus]
My life now like a lucid dream
Reality no more believe
No more accept as all in all
See life flow like a lucid dream stream
[Verse 1]
Now I control - manipulate
As I observe from veil beyond
Conscious steer plot to hearts' desire
No longer bound now cottoned on
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Do I aware experience
As deep a bliss in ignorance?
Can I do love like love before?
Does disbelief place out of reach?
[Guitar Refrain]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Can I awake - my time decide?
Will I remember who was I,
And who were we?

Mind
03:04
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Mind out of control
As fickle as a crush
Attention span short
As restless as a wind
Mind out of control
Dub enemy or friend
As if independent
Have objective of your own
[Chorus]
Do I deceive myself
Deny my power to decide
When I refuse pick up the reins
Again resume divine?
[Verse 2]
Mind out of control
You tell me what to do
Mind you confuse me
I beat you with my shoe
Mind, mind of your own it seems
Possess will for / against
Confess where get your power, say
Say who's desire you serve
[Repeat Chorus]
[Breakdown]
Did I myself not release the reins. Is it therefore not within my power to again take control? Do these reins really have independent will, that they somehow desire to be free or pursue their own objective? Do they have a soul of their own? Come on!
Mind out of control
Mind out of control
Mind out of control
Mind out of control
[Repeat Chorus]

Make Important

[Chorus v1]
Crunch those numbers boy, prove your progress
Meet your targets - measure success
And if you can't count what's important
Just make important what you can count
Force round peg in a square hole
[Verse 1]
It's like some kind of a poison
Human society virus
Belief everyone be better off
If run everything as business
[Verse 2]
It's like some kind of a brain freeze
Permeates the collective
Consciousness of the planet
Reduce everything to supply and demand
[Chorus v2]
Crunch those numbers boy, prove your progress
Meet your targets - measure success
And if you can't count what's important
Just fake important what you can count
Force round peg in a square hole
[Verse 3]
It's like some kind of a monster
Preying on flesh of dissenters
Preaching view point atheistic
Understanding mechanistic
[Verse 4]
It's like some sort of dementia
Reason no longer remember
Where from is gaining a traction
Reduce human being to a dot on a graph
[Instrumental]
[Chorus v3]
Crunch those numbers boy, prove your progress
Meet your targets - measure success
And if you can't count what's important
Pretend important what you can count
Force round peg in a square hole

[Verse 1]
Days are drawing in
Leaves are falling tears
Blowing in the wind
Reelin' in the years
[Verse 2]
Better buckle down the hatch
Tempest is on the stage
Sky is bible black
Praying for the day light
[Chorus]
Let us gather 'round the fire
Huddle shelter from a storm
Silent vigil in the twilight
Goodbye summer blue sky
[Verse 3]
River running high
Ground is saturated
Thunder in the sky
Rain is on the plain again
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Trees are naked bare
Ground is frozen peas
Blizzard in the air
Ev'ry breath I breathe count
[Repeat Chorus x 2]
[Outro]
Summer blue

Celebrate every face of God variation
Find the positive - every life a lived contribution
Mind accommodate - try appreciate incarnation
Every body born, corporeal form variegation
[Verse 1]

So why would I presume
Try persuade rethink conviction?
[Instrumental]

But the same time suspect
Somehow serves him - his perspective

Is It Misplaced?
03:26
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Last years' cool
Now dinosaur
Shame/embarrassment to be seen
[Verse 2]
Five hour queue
Can hardly wait
Generation next celebrate
[Chorus]
Is it misplaced - my measure of success,
Sense of progress, persona projection self expression?
[Verse 3]
Window dress
All new improved
So much smarter than before - your best friend
[Verse 4]
Ching ka-ching ka-ching
Familiar the sound
This time everyone assured 'perfected'
[Repeat Chorus x2]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Here I am again
Turns out new improvement made
Question why still I believe the 'must have'?
[Spoken word]
Well, the old model is now unsupported, no longer maintained and incompatible with many of my favourite apps ... so upgrade is desirable, somewhat necessary, even forced to be honest, but I'm sure has nothing to do with any sort of hard-nosed business marketing strategy ... our beloved manufacturer is way above short-changing or manipulation of its' loyal customer base. Hey, don't burst my bubble ... I need this ... after all, it's the way I choose to express my divinity!

Wiser You Grateful

|
|||
|
[Chorus]
Is but this context for future to come
Some bigger picture unimaginable - head in a spin?
More maybe stage set for act yet to play,
A wiser you grateful look back today?
[Verse 1]
Focused on here and now
See you no wood for tree
Believe no good can come
View point subjective
We all entitled
Divine prerogative
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Focused on here and now
Convinced you blameless
Feel no forgiveness
No one objective
So hard admit it
Is no more right than wrong
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
You say covered - I say focused
You say fallen - I say perfect
You say sinful - I say sanctioned
You say neutral - I say on-board
[Verse 2]
You say mundane - I say sacred
You say maya - I say roleplay
You say lost soul - I say freedom
You say prescribed - I say open
[Chorus]
Positive, prefer to live
Revenge reject, go for forgiveness
Challenge my mind - try to find
Always you smiling
[Verse 3]
You say other - I say brother
You say evil - I say divine
You say one way - I say blinker
You say one god - I say part of
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]

Just A Dream Believable

|
|||
|
[Chorus]
All in the morning see
Just a dream believable
Arise to reality - opened eyes
Finally make sense
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 1]
It used to be so 'one life'
One life is all that you get
Nobody perfect, ever - accept
As if is matter of fact
[Verse 2]
I used to identify
My self as bodily dress
My home as country of birth
My god as old man throned in the sky
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
It used to be them and us
Divide as for or against
Religious dogma in name of God
But brother sister forget
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
It used to be so blinkered
Conditional predisposed
Imagine blindness of faith embraced
Knowledge of absolute known
[Repeat Chorus to Fade]

No restore point
Recover disc

Just factory default
Reformat drive
Alt control delete
Lose my data
[Verse 1]
Another birth
Another life
Past memory
Detail forgot
Disposition
Only survives
Pick up the thread
Where last left off
[Verse 2]
Another stage
In time and space
Another act
Another cast
Another role
Character play
Tomorrow come
Forget today
[Repeat Chorus]
... I hope God's got a backup
[Verse 3]
Another now
Moment in time
A yesterday
Contextual frame
Another dream
Of yet to come
I really hope
You are the one
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Another birth
Another life
Disposition
Only survives

But you, you forget yesterday
When you, you embraced different way as much
Might I suggest remember

Now you preach
Everyone must do
Found your faith
So, so must they
After all ... God's way
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]

Now you kill
Execute God's will
Recognise
Everyone
Child of God no more
[Repeat Chorus]
