Spent my days screaming about the astral plain
But it never meant a goddamned thing anyway
You’ve spent your nights praying away in vain
As if there’s really a soul in that body to save
Your blood-brain barrier is slowly inching away
As you inject yourself with a contusion to claim
Your conscience is a figment of your higher brain
You’ve learned to turn it all off either way
I am in a pantheistic state of being
Where I am all and all is me
I’m encapsulating my own stream
Of conscious flow I’ve set free
When is it a duality ceases to be
And just falls apart at the seams?
I’m a comfortable wolf in my sheep’s clothing
Writing about the feelings that I’m loathing
Everything
Is an enigma trapped in glass for the world to see
I am holding
Onto a hope that there is something bigger out there than me
Everything
Is an illusion of a delusion that grew up with me
I am holding
Onto a dream that reality isn’t all that’s left for me
Trapped
Under the weight of what my delusions of grandeur bring
Is there
Really somebody out there who knows every move I make?
Where does
The mind go when the body ceases to be?
I am holding
Onto the idea that there is something greater than me
A duality of primordial ascended host deities
Or maybe just an interconnectedness between human beings
Some say religion is a farce for only the sheep to believe
But your god could really be whatever you want it to be
You can put yourself on a pedestal for everyone to see
We raise armies but preach teach civility
We are the makers of dreams and the foundation of screams
I am all and all is me, I am all and all is me
A carefully concocted existential symmetry
A ballet between human beings and deities
A corresponding affliction of both mind and machine
I created the creator who created me
A collective consciousness too grieved to think
Mind over matter in the face of adversity
Grace over disorder when the walls are crumbling
I am all and all is me, I am all and all is me
