[“We were wondering how it all happened in the beginning
No one knows what happened in the beginning.”]
Don't underestimate
The power of your thoughts
Of my influence
On your perfect sense
Too cool to be liquid
Too faint to be solid
You see me sparkle
I see you purple
I am the catalyst
Filter without a filter
I am the catalyst
Narrowing you down
You could say anything
Significant, compelling
Choose an end and find
Somewhere to begin
The string that shoots you off
Shows you the direction
It’s mental
Dismantle
Not everyone is mental
It’s mental
It’s true
All there is is mental for you too
I am the catalyst
Filter without a filter
I am the catalyst
Narrowing you down
I am the catalyst
Filter without a filter
I am the catalyst
Narrowing you down
[“I kept thinking, who the hell does he think he is?”
How do you know what he’s saying?
I mean, how does he know what he is saying is right?
And I was really very resistant.”]

Thought much but said little
Always foreboding gloomy things
It’s a common drill,
We move rashly when we ought to stand still
Thought much still cannot speak
Only hold on and blink
Wrinkled yet lucid
We harden when we ought to stay fluid
Sink back into our toes
There’s nothing to go back down below
Think of something good
Suspect your mistrust
Be good, don’t leave the path
Longed much but got little
Don’t know you half as well as I’d like
In all likelihood
The true obstruction is within my thinking
As much as I may want to
Blame others for my adversities
Floods to rotten fish
They’re the profit of my futile beliefs
We are what we repeatedly do
The way we carry ourselves
Molds and shapes our cells
This place is so empty,
My thoughts are so tempting.
Flip the script
Don’t bloat
Stay afloat
Sink back into our toes
There’s nothing to go back down below
Think of something good
Suspect your mistrust
Be good, don’t leave the path
[“In the widest sense of the word.
It is an education. An education.
It is something like antique philosophy
And not what we understand by technique
It is something that touches upon the whole of man
And which challenges also the whole of man.
It is an education.
Widest sense of the word.”]

[“This is the kind behavior I might have expected of you.
All I do is leave the room for a few minutes and what do I find?
The answer is water”]
There are things that I’ve been meaning to hallow
Bring them out of the fuzzy shallow
I mean something wonderful that you can swallow
A garden swollen to a field
Planting seeds
[“Soil rich and productive”]
Feels like planting seeds
[“The temperature here may hit a 100 degrees in the shade”]
Planting seeds
[“Water to clench the thirst”]
Feels like planting seeds
[“One moment please”]
They don’t care about the special features
Catchy villains disguised as teachers
Crawling, feeling their way, the groping dirty old bleachers
Trying to reach our
Garden swollen to a field
[“I tell them”]
Planting seeds
[“Listen to the sounds of freshness”]
Feels like planting seeds
[“Well how did you feel about it”]
Planting seeds
[“Did you think it was a good idea?”]
Feels like planting seeds
[“Indispensable, All vegetable”]
Feels like
[“Will you make a copy of this?
Naturally!”]
Feels like planting seeds
[“Try it now, today, a week from Tuesday.”]
Planting
[“I just couldn’t, I couldn’t possibly tell you
It’s here, can’t you feel it?”]

Shine
03:36

There’s a shade other worldly
In all the things I feel lately
Inflated and romanticized
Permeating my surroundings
Prose and poetry
Through this cavity flow freely
Urging me to be patient
For the time is nigh
But not here
Not yet
The cosmos is pronouncing
And we're starting to shine
Expanding
Who cares why?
What a wonderful design!
Regardless of my desire
It won’t unfold after nor before
By your regard pollinated
Pregnant bursting with emotion
Shade of honesty
Through this cavity gestures freely
Wooing me for attention
For the time is now
And right here
The place
The cosmos is pronouncing
And we're starting to shine
Expanding,
Who cares why?
What a wonderful design!
Yeah we're starting to shine
[“And then suddenly it dawned on me.
He means that what happens psychically is the real reality.
Either this man is crazy or I’m too stupid to understand what it means”]

Sun

Not sure where I am
Or if I am falling in tenderness
Socially acceptable insanity
This surge of woo, growing into two
There’s some kind of sorcery
In the way you're put together
Closer scrutiny fills me
With impressions I know not how to speak
Through your shadow
The sun knows where to go
Trust your intuition
Be guided by love
Not sure if I am
In lands of waking or of dream
Unstoppable I’m drifting on songfully
That hole in the moon, I punched it there for you.
Though I'm not the one you’re seeing today
I give you my amity
Caught between a rock and a hard place
Desire means nothing to me
Through your shadow
The sun knows where to go
Trust your intuition
Be guided by love
I won’t try to spell it out
Catch as catch can in the dark
Meet you in the meadow
And take the scenic route
Through your shadow
The sun knows where to go
Trust your intuition
Be guided by love
Through your shadow
The sun knows where to go
Trust your intuition
Be guided by love
[“Now, these are lower dimensional slices of a reality
That is ultimately
Unitary,
Ineffable,
Unspeakable
And dazzling.”]

There is no question
We are ideally suited
Conquered my mind
Did you also need to conquer my heart?
Inner stirring regarding your style
Certainly not trivial
Certainly not
My self
But it feels like your self
Feels like this self
In your self
Is my self too
(x2)
There is no question
You are ideally suited to me
Peeked anyway knowing the dangers
Of second hand perception
Glimpsed the potential for elation
Certainly not trivial
Certainly not
My self
But it feels like your self
Feels like this self
In your self
Is my self too

Caffeine

[“Oh no,
What’s wrong?
It’s your coffee again.
Ed, really
Sorry honey
But your coffee tastes terrible.”]
Oh man!
I was really upbeat this morning
Knock it down
Don’t let it grow
Oh man!
I was feeling a beat this morning
Break it down
Don’t let me up
It's getting nearer
And at this pace
There won’t be enough of me
To spread on a cracker
Thank you for
Being the needle
That hurt me the most
Needless to say
Hope is great
But I need caffeine
To stay awake
[“Gonna serve your coffee?
Don’t joke about my coffee again!
How about another cup honey?
You seconds on my coffee?
Tastes kinda great tonight!]
Oh man!
I was having a fit this morning
Heard it crack
There’s no way back
It's getting nearer
And at this pace
There wont be enough of me
To spread on a cracker
Thank you for being the needle
That hurt me the most
Needless to say
Hope is great
But I need caffeine to stay awake
[“I’m out of coffee!
You’re out of coffee?
Isn’t that wonderful?
Be patient!
Oh come on (Peanut?) wait a minute
How did it taste?
Sweet
Sour?
Wonderful!
Nice pose rasta!
You added nothing to that conversation.
I’m going to give you this completely nutritious cup,
Will you drink it?
Even if, even if you’re not really well-mannered you can make a habit of being civil.
Be patient!
See, no trick to making coffee
All you need is a better coffee
A really big jar of coffee!”]
Thank you for being the needle
That hurt me the most
Needless to say
Hope is great
But I need caffeine to stay awake
Need caffeine to stay awake
Need caffeine to stay awake
Wake
Wake
Wake wake up!
[“Did you have a nice time dear?
Very nice thanks.
Oh you don’t look much like a girl having a wonderful evening!]

Sink
03:01

I really don't know why
I feel hollow in this lonely place
I wish you slept at night
I wish I had something funny to say
A little more levity would do me good
Sinking in the water
Chasing the moon
Monkey man desire
Fed by spoon
Still tryin’ to figure out
Why I’m stuck inside this lonely place
I know I need your hand
Though I lack the courage to say
A little less gravity would do me good
Like the moon crossing the sun
Things like these come to be
You know you shouldn't
But you still do
Then you don't know what to do
Sinking in the water
Chasing the moon
Monkey man desire
Fed by spoon
Sleeping underwater
Holding the moon
Blending in the mire
With you soon
Sink in the water
Sink in the water
Sink in the water
Sink in the waah

Hairball

[“Now in slow motion,
We can see what happens
When a cat is dropped
From an upside down position.”]
There is a code here
A code difficult to find
It seems to be
The guide you're looking for
The eye knows where
The heart should follow
Learn it all from staring
Into the black on a monograph
A song lingering with care
Coughing up a hairball
Buzzing in the air
Be well with yourself
So you can dwell with someone else
Flayed your freedom to love
Wide eyed nocturnal animal
Faint glimmering
As It burns you within
For the heart life is simple
It beats for as long as it can
Until it stops singing
This song lingering with care
Coughing up a hairball
Buzzing in the air
Be well with yourself
So you can dwell with someone else
So you can dwell with someone else
You can dwell with someone else
[“I feel sorry for you.
If you can’t see it then you’ll just never know it.”]
