You say I am repeating Something I have said before. I shall say it again. Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there, To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not.

There is only one way to solve a problem: the right way. But, what makes the right way different from the wrong way? In order to discern between right and wrong, one must understand the difference between good and evil. The inner struggle, that can tear apart the soul, must be won by the individual. The inner core of being is formed, and decisions are made accordingly. The actions executed beyond awareness infiltrate the outer realms of the being. Curiosity of existence is initiated by the acceptance of eventual non-existence. Throughout the journey of self understanding one can only hope to declare knowledge beyond normalcy. This aspect provides relentless confidence, although completely unwarranted. Unaware of the perpetual propensity that life induces, opinions flood the mind with confusion. Suddenly, right and wrong have infinite shades of grey between them. Comprehension is muddied, knowledge is pushed aside, experience is disheveled, and only instinct remains as the driving force, for progress; a movement toward finding a means of access to the mind and soul.

Never knew a girl rock a hat quite like you, Baby Never seen a smile make the words oh-so true Never seen a woman's eyes confess so In this body I will bleed the truth in your way Lady, believe in me Bring patience In this blood And you hold the way Baby, we rise & fall Since I've been lovin' you And you turn me on Angels to guide my way I'm falling to pieces girl I sing and they pray And may the promise of sleep free me from falling into it, right? But what if I've been asleep this whole time? Until you? Do you, do you remember? In a different time, when everything rhymed & made sense in your head? Holding onto sound & a blanket We're just holding onto sound & a blanket Find your truth in mine Release so fine Waters to wine Ever the day I breathe inside your eyes Woman, I pray you find yourself in this time And if I give you mine Make yourself anyway Listen for the infinite sound & a blanket Ever the day you breathe inside my eyes Woman, I pray we find ourselves in this time Ever the day I breathe inside your eyes Woman, I pray you find yourself in this time
