Balance is the key Your inner eye is watching you Your inner self is judging you When you become less than you are When you have strayed and gone too far The choice you make is making you The choice you make is breaking you What could have been and what became The consequence will have its claim Sometimes we sink below Sometimes we rise above Sometimes we become the light Sometimes we fade into the night Your conscious mind is an entity Your conscious mind is your identity To unlock the door balance is the key To unlock the door balance is the key Sometimes we sink below Sometimes we rise above Sometimes we become the light Sometimes we fade into the night

Dig Deeper 04:14
Dig Deeper There is too much noise between us; too much dissonant dirt surrounds us The polluted silence confuses our minds and shields our thoughts from logic Contamination of the airwaves – disintegration of the brainwaves The only sound in your head is your own voice The silent space between words is your own choice Speaking your mind without meaning lacking in substance We need to cultivate the understanding of true silence Contamination of the airwaves – disintegration of the brainwaves Oversized and shallow ego craving constant attention Trapped inside the undercurrent of mental commotion Media manipulated mindless drone The only sound, the only mind, you are alone Be silent now, silence the voices and silence your emotions Be silent like the universe The present now is true existence The self imagined ego is ignorance Purge yourself from your anxiety Unmask your false identity Self-proclaimed stars on their knees for our amusement They are stuck in their egos sinking lower and lower Dig deeper, dig deeper, dig deeper… too shallow Dig deeper, dig deeper, dig deeper… still too shallow

Different Breed We have a need to believe Let your spirit keep you high Be the seeker be the dreamer We are here and we are now Represent your point of view On this planet of the apes Shake that monkey of your back Dare to be the different breed Run your sensors below surface, scan for logic intellect It’s human nature to explore, never know what to expect In the back of our minds the instinct of distrust The earth will shake and we will move, in the end we all are dust Be aware of your decisions False emotions blur the mind Physical and mental strain We endure and we expand Shake it off or it will shake your world Shake it off or it will bring it down Shake it off or it will end the line Shake it off now, be the different breed

The Killing Stone All those years, years of lies Became the truth that destroyed everything Let the one, without guilt, let the one, be the first Poisoned words from your mouth The killing stone clenched in your hand Let the one, without guilt, let the one, be the first Indoctrinated through generations Spreading religious deviations It stirs the blood, it shakes the ground Primitive faith and a hate profound Let the one, without guilt, let the one, be the first The evolution of truth The lost, deluded, blinded youth The evolution of greed The hate inside that you feed Let the one, without guilt, let the one, be the first Indoctrinated through generations Spreading religious deviations It stirs the blood, it shakes the ground Primitive faith and a hate profound The crackling of the clenching fist The gnashing of the grinding teeth BLOOD–It’s in your hands BLOOD–It’s on your hands HATE –It’s in your heart HATE –It’s in your head

Recharge 03:35
Recharge Rhythmic patterns synchronize Brainwave structures energize Phase shift frequency Neurons bursting electricity Alpha wave oscillation Synaptic spike modulation Feedback loop memory Current flow energy Rise from darkness Reach for the light Empty your mind Inhale and recharge Rise, rise, reach, inhale... Abstract forms transgress Electrochemical process Human perception expanding Mind through spirit recharging

A Handful of Dust Ice cold stare Cloaked in shadow Dusty boot spur scrape Finger on the trigger A killer by instinct The gunslingers intent Eye for an eye Everyone for himself The blue of the Pacific is just a pale and distant dream Clouded by the quest for gold Horse kick recoil Muzzle flash Blood and thunder Throbbing gun wound pain Vicious heartless bastard Filthy crooked grin Gold begets greed Greed begets misery The blue of the Pacific is just a pale and distant dream Clouded by the quest for gold The glimmer of gold A wasteland mirage A handful of dust Desperation and fear At the hour of death The promise of wealth Becomes as meaningless As that damned hunger for gold

Stay in Orbit What does it mean to be free? The paradox of the superego Wanting more than we need Drowning in excess consumption Deconstructing way of thought Mind succumbed, redefine Contradict the so-called-truth Question your reality Stay in orbit – or you will drift Stay in orbit – or you will burn Stay in orbit – or you will drift Stay in orbit – or you will burn Eat the meat, don’t eat the meat Peel the fruit, wash your hands Stay awake use your mind Don’t fall asleep behind the wheel Doors will open, doors will close Until death has the final word The rain will fall, the rain will fall And nothing will be the same again And sometimes it is supposed to hurt But never mind Because the choice of possibilities Lead down the same path [What’s beyond the unspoken?]-Stay [What’s beyond the unfound?]-In orbit

Underground Oblivion Radiating unseen light buried deep below Massive rock harboring secrets from the past What lies underground, must remain underground Forgotten the ways of the world, we’re blinded by science Unpredictable human behavior, leaving scars on the surface What lies underground, must remain underground We are mirrors reflecting each other With all this precious time to waste Our paths cross with others We arrive and depart in haste The heaviest burdens alone we bear It became a part of us The deepest secrets we choose not to share It became the silence in us All these moments in life where everything changes The balance of endless equations surrounded by chaos Everything must end for a new beginning
