You were never alone,
In the heart of it all,
Your ego,
And the Universe around you know.
It's just as it goes,
When you're lost in the flow,
You reap the thoughts that you sow,
I'm turning my lead into Gold.
It could all be a game,
Or a simulation of fake names,
And real dreams,
And real minds caught all the same.
Here's the order of ease,
Sitting here smoking trees,
To ground me I'm pleased,
In the belly of the beast.
Desire leaves me when I think up top.
Empire's crumbling as the voices stop.
Decisions given as the rhythm drops.
Entirely driven by the hand of God.
In the final extreme,
We were left on the scene.
Separate though it may seem,
Everything is a dream.
Everything is the waves,
Energy is the face,
Matter captured in space,
Oh what the hell is this place?
Desire leaves me when I think up top.
Empire's crumbling as the voices stop.
Decisions given as the rhythm drops.
Entirely driven by the hand of God.
Don't wait for fate to come to you.
The final breath you one day drew.
Many years ahead when the breath of death
Escapes your lips and kisses bliss.
I miss the end,
I miss my friends.
Now and then,
That summer bend.
You know you we're never alone.
The time has come to bold.
Grow your lion love of gold,
Your heart it is your home, your home.
