Illusions, Illusions
It's all illusions
The cosmic and the karmic in an endless game
The fabric of reality, absurd in its duality
So everything remains
Illusions, Illusions
It's all illusions
Hidden power lurking there, just under the veil
Supernaturality, taboo in actuality
But just waiting to be tamed
Illusions, Illusions
It's all illusions
Living in world of constant change
Many into one and then back into many
Yet everything remains
We're not bodies, we're not atoms
We All Are
And that's all we need to be
We're Ideas of The Mind
Deaf man hear, Blind man see
Perceptions, perceptions
Receiving perceptions from a Higher Plane
Beyond its dark disguise
The simple means to mold and recreate the universe
Is freely given to those who try
Perceptions, perceptions
Receiving perceptions
A single, subtle, secret truth
Is masked by multitudes of lies
Tap the core of what you really know
And see the world through ten billion eyes
While we're awake we can just believe
But in our dreams we realize
We're not bodies, we're not atoms
We All Are
And that's all we need to be
We're Ideas of The Mind
Lame man walk, Dead man breathe
From ageless spirit few can fathom
Those points of light space can't contain
We are Ideas of The Mind
Collective Soul -- We're All The Same... - Track Name: Confessions of an Old Soul (pt. II)

The fog on the street tonight
Reminds me of that time of waiting
Just after death
Dark
With lights in the distance
Well aware of the others around me
Yet I was alone and at ease
Silence
Ah, to be free and away
From the hustle and bustle
Of the material world
But I knew I would have to return here
Again
So here I am for the umpteenth time
Filling empty pages with ornaments
Of rhyme
Every time I promise myself
That I will not forget my past
But I always do
I only remember the times in between
The waiting
In the mist - Track Name: Turn Left
-
Turn Left - Red Minds
Turn Left - Red Views
Turn Left - A little Red Vision in the news
Turn Left
Turn Left - Where's your freedom?
Turn Left - Where's your pride?
Turn Left - Big Brother standing at your side
Turn Left
For the people with the power you live your life
For the people with the power have restrained your rights
Turn Left - Change your thinking
Turn Left - Change your plans
Turn Left - The State makes your decisions and you follow their commands
Turn Left
Turn Left - You share no secrets
Turn Left - You have no friends
Turn Left - For on The Party your fate depends
Turn Left
For the people with the power you live your life
For the people with the power have restrained your rights
Turn Left - It's your religion
Turn Left - No alibis
Turn Left - You're always followed by Invisible Eyes
Turn Left
Now... - Track Name: At the Summit

We're coming to a new level of understanding
We're coming close to a meeting of minds
The Reds see stripes and The Stripes are reddening
Someday soon, it's just a matter of time
Can we expect our world to survive
When we're taking our own lives?
How will our world remain
If it's left in a pool of blood, greed, and pain?
Disease is spreading like media gossip
It's an epidemic that will not quit
The pestilience will grow if we don't act on it
You can ignore opinions but don't forget the facts
It's affecting your homeland, it's affecting mine
How can we fight a common enemy
When we can't keep from fighting our own kind?
We're coming to a new level of understanding
We're coming close to a meeting of minds
The Reds see stripes and The Stripes are reddening
Someday soon, it's just a matter of time
If the East moved left and the West moved right
We both might find we'd have no reason to fight... - Track Name: Danger Zone
-
Every single day it's the same thing
The bodies lay in the street
While the sound of sirens fill the air
You learn to live with the din of the fighting
Because it hasn't stopped in several thousand years
Real estate changes hands almost like clockwork
You never seem to know who is in command
When you live in the Danger Zone
You remember all you hear
When you live in the Danger Zone
Scars are what you bear
When you live in the Danger Zone
You live your life in fear
When you live in the Danger Zone
Death is always near
When you live in the Danger Zone
The other side always knows where you're hiding
It doesn't take them long
To find out exactly where you are
You pray with every day of the fighting
That the battle stops
And the sound of silence fills the air
When you live in the Danger Zone
The news is always bad
When you live in the Danger Zone
Faces are always sad
When you live in the Danger Zone
It's hard to keep from going mad
When you live in the Danger Zone
Your life is all you have...
When you live in the Danger Zone
Every single day it's the same thing - Track Name: The Big Picture
-
Staring down from my Vanity
Clear Channel runs everything
Corporate radio monopoly
Dissolving into a Puddle of Creed
Covert and clever diablerie
In our face yet we never see
Planting seeds of deception and greed
In the name of The American Dream
All for One for All
All for One for All
All for One for All
All for One
One for All
All the oil in the Middle East
Cannot spare us our gluttony
Mowing down forests to build city streets
Is not a scene The Big Picture needs
And you... you say you want money
And you... you dream about fame
And you... only see milk and honey
And you... you're all losing your way
A.O-HELL to Infinity
Media feeding us everything
Perception - The truth that they sell, we'll believe
Magicians with marketing tricks up their sleeves
One for All for One
One for All for One
One for All for One
One for All
All for One
Killing in the name of some deity
The apex of moral indignity
The corruption that's shaking the money tree
Is not a scene The Big Picture needs
And you... don't you think that it's funny?
Yeah you... a willing pawn in this game
And you... content to sit and do nothing
For you... the end is always the same
Don't you realize it's just a pack of lies?
Those who need it can't afford it
Those who can, collect and hoard it
Don't you realize it's just a pack of lies?
The affluent's obsession
To hold the rest in their oppression
And you... serve the end that is coming
Yeah you... somehow think that you're free
And you... believe that you're cunning
Yeah you... I only wish you could see
Living in a world of hypocrisy
The saddest disgrace to humanity
This mirage and the lies of prosperity
Are not the scenes The Big Picture needs - Track Name: It's Alright

I saw the sunrise in the West today
I watched the sky turn to grey
I felt the heat twenty miles away
I shook my head and slowly said,
"It's alright, hey it's alright..."
I kidded myself for years
Thinking that we'd never do it
Cast away those doubts and fears about this final day
All their talk and diplomacy didn't help improve it...
I ran for you as you called my name
You wiped the sweat from my head
Four desperate eyes and the skies in flame
Only two words to be said,
"It's alright, hey it's alright..."
I ran for you as you called my name
You wiped the sweat from my head
Four desperate eyes and the skies in flame
Only two words to be said,
"It's alright, hey it's alright..."
I kidded myself for years
Thinking that we'd never do it
Cast away those doubts and fears about this final day
All their talk and diplomacy?
Well there was nothing to it.
In grief I stare, as the Earth is wasted away... - Track Name: Confessions of an Old Soul (pt. I)
-
I feel as if I don't exist, just floating in the mist
And while this state of mind persists
My own spectre is my nemesis
My loudest scream, it goes unheard
By the people in the room
Have they gone completely deaf
Or is being mute my doom?
Then memories of my youthful days flash into my mind
Dreams of living coincide
With thoughts that I've been falsified
Then the people gather 'round
And tears fill up their eyes
I try to tell them I'm alright
But nothing calms their cries
Warm and numb to learn the rest of why I'm all alone
A lifelong burden lifted from my chest
Then the truth hits hard as stone
I'm watching my whole life go by
All the people I have known
When suddenly I realize -- I'm dead
I'm going home...
