DANCING ON THE VOLCANO pt. 1
lyric extraction from:
BETWEEN THE TIGER AND THE ENVELOPE
some people sparkle like diamonds
some people glitter like gold
some people conjure up magic spells
try to keep them from growing too old
I danced on a volcano
rode the tiger
chased the dragon
but I'm feeling no wiser
explored new dimensions
traveled through time
emerged from a wormhole
in and out of my mind
I kept pushing the envelope
in a relentless attack
pushing and pushing
until the envelope pushed back
I don't like scandalous virtue
I don't like ambivalent vice
I don't like the rigid confusion
which allows one to only think twice
I chanted with shamans
learned from the masters
realigned my chakras
yet I'm still a disaster
been plagued by darkness
consumed by temptation
shunned by reality
maybe even salvation
I kept pushing the envelope
deep into the black
pushing and pushing
until the envelope pushed back
so I pushed even harder
guess I wasn't quite done
and in a shoving match with destiny
the envelope won
THE REALITY OF DREAMS
lyric extraction from:
COTTONWOODHILL
in the movement of the moment
the reality of dreams
minds are manifesting,while oracles keep second guessing
and everything is never what it seems
a kaleidoscope of nothingness
the remnants of free will
and somewhere in the distance...sounds
the news from Cottonwoodhill
life's emptiness can be picturesque
yet emotion cannot kill
the promise of a vibrant Dawn
stirring on Cottonwodhill
my orbit is decaying
this vessel's structure fraying
still I give you only my best days
and say only that which I hope worth saying
the echoes of a memory
whose vision haunts me still
a piece of what we left behind
remains on Cottonwwodhill
RIDING THE COMET
lyric extraction from:

-
space bending
mind tending
time rending
light
-
midnight at the event horizon
here is there
pull up a chair
try not to stare
-
six hundred seventy one million miles per hour
how fast must we fly to penetrate the sky
six hundred seventy one million miles per hour
how far we can go is beyond what we know
-
fabric tearing
thought sharing
star faring
flight
-
twilight at the event horizon
now is then
come with a friend
stay till the end
-
six hundred seventy one million miles per hour
the universe is elastic, infinitely fantastic
six hundred seventy one million miles per hour
all we need to achieve is traveling speed
