Inspired by the Terence McKenna quote, “The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.”

lyrics

Visual perspective,
I don’t know if it’s true,
The sight I see is made by words
I know I can’t see through.
I make them up, in my mind,
But then they control me..
But see the shift, say the truth,
All without speaking.

The drama, the rhythm,
That’s running through my head,
I can’t control but it defines
All that will be said.
If I feel lost or sad again,
For all I must put on a show.
Shift your focus play the notes,
See through the maze and go,
Forward..
It’s a maze that will amaze.

Break through the fight
Take a look at the light,
Go blind to what you know
And burn in what you see.

Let the feeling build you up,
There’s so much more to be.
Can you live through the hurt,
Can you know what I mean?
Unblock the answer you have found,
Take a look around,
See it with the sound.
You feel it? Do you feel it?

You’ve been dared to do the impossible
You see the dare? Look in the mirror,
Its source a rhythm that’s changing you
From the former who wasn’t clear.
Stare into your eyes,
Accept the challenge,
Take the path you couldn’t see
In the mental imbalance.

Although our life’s still a mystery
I can tell one thing is true,
The change of perspective Brought on by adventure
Can save a life in blue.
The abyss is everywhere
But with these chords I will transcend,
Unable to stop the strum
that lifts me up.

The dare for purpose, the impossible struggle,
But I will conquer, I will conquer, today.
