It was born, so long ago On ancient sites, in hallowed groves It wandered aimless, for a time In ethers sphere, it grew sublime Etched in law Carved in stone The bastard child Has found his home It rose in power, stature grown Contained within the furrowed brow Until at last, its shackles gone As fingers tell of the battles won You know nothing Etched in law Carved in stone The bastard child Has found his home

I'm cast out, from traditional earthly trappings Flesh is weak, through ancient timeless passage Sharpen the blade Quicken the steps Weaken the foe Remove all doubt and say goodbye I am not who I thought I was We are not slaves to restless thoughts Sharpen the blade Quicken the steps Weaken the foe Remove all doubt and say goodbye Reborn When did this become a dream How can this feel so obscene? The window opens in my mind The dark become a welcome tide

Travelling at break neck speed, within in the mind There's call for inspiration, light years ahead of time Catch a break across the wind, landslide of the divine The dark expanse unfolds syntax of the kaleidoscopic blind Is this an oasis? Have I found a place to rest? Or is this the new normal, or just another test Within the cave by the stream, gazes the third eye Light refracts on rippled waves as space and time combine Shattering the earthly tides, that otherwise would bind We gaze upon the higher plane, a glimpse of the divine Is this an oasis? Have I found a place to rest? Or is this the new normal, or just another test Time, slows each breath It feels so long that I've been under, could it follow into death Mind, wants control But the aliens inside my brain make sure to sear the soul Face, angry scream Every emotion and archetype captured in one place Find, peace of soul, its intertwining spell has woven beauty over me Is this an oasis? Have I found a place to rest? Or is this the new normal, or just another test

Veins 07:22
I keep this monkey on back, to remind me I'm alive But its been burning at my wings, while I try to fly I feed him every day, with the things he likes to chew But regrettably, upon my shoulder, I couldn't see how much he grew I'm not looking forward, always looking back I'm not staring upwards, more concerned with all I lack And this steel blimp will stay grounded My steel blimp keeps me grounded I have this acid in my veins to remind me to still dream Teaches to segment and sew, the unity within the mind Things always seem so fractious, when we look at it askew The writing that's been on the wall, fades to a darker hue Now I'm looking forward, head up in the stars The difference of perspective can show you who you are This steel blimp will stay grounded My steel blimp keeps me grounded Dare to dream Dream a dream that takes you away To a brand new day All the while, grounding you in who you are You are not far
