~~ Storming the Gates ~~

she's out there in the Aethyr
and I'm out there to
in different places at once
some real, some illusion, some dream

this sweet experience
tensile and ready to crack
splitting open long thoughts
letting light out and in, through, and around

that's right, a through-going force
a play of complex dualities
symbols of personality, slave to a dance
ordered by the gnosis

impressario of our souls, yours and mine
that long past point of separation
the guarantee of noble returns
the way back to heaven cannot avoid you
and I'm taking the gates by storm

I threw the deck, for emergency's sake
and it showed me my side of the street
how to pay the respect proper to divine graces
oh friend, teacher in life and lover in my heart

this is me failing at trying to spare you
the sentimental notions of contraction
that churn inside my complex system of wiring
each moment obsessing on you

the vast empty reaches somehow full of light
showing me death inside death upon death
and beyond in the truth, a great liberation
my path to the city of light is through you
and I'm taking the gates by storm

~~ Interior Earth !! ~~

I can't think very straight
it ain't right but its relief
and the conclusions I am jumping to
... no they really ain't right
I can't stop myself and I like it

the overwhelming experience
of overloaded energy circuits
breaking me down completely
so I get built up stronger again
and again and again, it ain't right

when I'm alone, you're here in my head
and I know when you've fallen asleep
because then you are more closely with me
and I often wonder where I wander in my dreams
'cause that sight for me is not yet constant

do I come to you? Like an honest soul would?
am I barred at the gates as impure?
strung up and cast out, back into my body
lying restless in bed barely holding on to sleep
I wonder about you, and it ain't right

ain't right just because, not as if something's wrong
just because it ain't right I keep holding on
because down there in the depths, I am talking to you
and denying whats written on the diamond in the earth
V.I.T.R.I.O.L., its all just praying for great rectification

the way it ain't right isn't right
