LYRICS:
I. The First Thought
I bid my mind and body to drop off - To rise clear, of even the finest dust.
I see the essence, my first awakening - A transmission of light is beckoning me
II. The Kenshō
"Do you feel the trees, sway beneath the ebb and flowing winds of maturity?”
“Do you feel the breeze, shift with ease, kiss the sun and reflect your life in the leaves?”
“Would you believe, that this subtle dream has more truth than reality could ever deem?”
“Water the seed, let the lotus breathe - It reveals the true nature of you and me"
III. The Attempted Understanding
I run my hands through the air and although there's nothing there. I'm forming liquid thoughts in my fingers - seeing glimpses of the truth out there.
A hedonistic discovery, trapped in reality - What is this mystery that slips away, as these words spill from my lips?
Why do you grant me - why do you grant me these mosaic eyes?
What is this mystery that slips away?
IV. The Exodus
So blinded by the sun, my eyes refused to see the night. Perhaps if I embrace the elder moon, I’ll understand what’s wrong and right?
I’ve felt the wisdom of the kenshō, I hold faith in what was told - but as I leave the seed, my once mothering womb, for the first time I feel the cold.
We emancipate and then suffocate.
We emancipate and then suffocate
We emancipate and then suffocate.

ALSO THE BREAKDOWN AT THE END IS SO GNARLY. "but as I leave the seed, my once mothering womb, for the first time I feel the cold" with the cold winter air blowing in the background....god damn that is so sick
