Light came from nowhere i look from your eyes to see if you are dreaming. wouldn't you like to know? the answer is both i'm a crayon soaked in bleach but its alright she uses me i was god, i got bored and now i'm just a moth of sorts i'll become an archetype and model my subconscious mind i don't care, no i don't free the moth
2.
I've been waiting you're running out of time i'm flying around in circles, won't you open up your eyes? you are just like me you walk but you go nowhere and you do it all the time across your burning bridges just to step into the light... walk into the house, a bore throw my glasses on the floor reach in through the bedroom door flip the switch and learn some more "open up your mind and free the moth and let it fly" the compulsive thought occurs, i comply when i step into the light perspectives with different inflections reflect in respect to artistic direction from hindsight to insight from inside the moths mind, i write it all down to make up for lost time i am the walking one i channel entities i've got a moth in my head i let speak through me i have epiphanies i found the missing keys i am a nuisance to those who refuse to think.. now what are you witnessing isn't life interesting? you are now entering where light covers everything i answered the call to wake the endless night it is my fate so please don't save me from the light

passing by this fleeting life, the frames collide a passerby is spilled inside my stimul-eyes whispered wings to quantum dust we travel time i am home to those who interpret light in the cinema of experience do you cling to what you see? and how attached you've become to coincidence but still hear no synchronicity in the dark room where you sleep expose yourself become a picture perfect dream when you color in your photography do you allow the ink to bleed? the keys i found get played to the aging wall only when you free the moth you'll know it all the sun it drips and dials i answer the call.. ...hello..? theres static in the snow in the darkness i'll find my way to that home before i melt away like candle wax to flame so sorry if i seem to take forever i get caught up in fun and games... sound and light

shadows of the walking one sleeping on the sandy beach praise the never ending sun so bright that i can hardly see there is something going on more so than what meets the eye found what i was thinking of illuminated in the light
5.
Switch 02:29
beams of light curled under the toes of my conscious mind and twirl between beheaded queens and other foolish things but stop to find that the entire time what lies beneath (the sum of these) obscenities is kerosene and the only thing i'll never need (is a wick) and a reason to leave see the light seep through the ceiling of my seamless eye and fabric sight is torn in two with red and blue and a hint of you with a passing wish everything is lit when i hit the switch when the sun sets warm petals down on your skin let it sink in and just feel it all again
6.
Sneezed 01:52
i don't care where i go turn it upside down and now you know call me a runaway, i don't care what you say no telling where i'll stay, but its not with you, no once i leave this skin, then you can count me in i'm not a downward spiral, theres a reason, yeah i dont wanna say hello, i don't wanna say hello i dont wanna say hello hello hello hello hello

i got the full effect of light way down on venice beach i don't know how i ended up there but i fell asleep i had no time to tell, i tell you, i had no time at all i very well could still be dreaming but i'll free this moth i'm on the bus to san francisco and i just met god she told me everything she knew but then i just forgot i had a choice between the two but then i went too far next time i come to california i'll just take my car intricate and glassy eyed synchronized to venice fly trap door opened whats inside flickered in the wind and died red against the green and grey like splinters in a windowsill reflecting what you see but still you feel so unfulfilled eyelets sip the passing wisps the weeping willow's kiss is frozen on your forehead, not from cold, but utter bliss petals pressed to ink and reach out from one maiden's spoken dream drip their way into the streams of poet's pen and paper bleach i made love to the slit of light that trickled down into my eye i did not blink it flickered slight the shadows bloomed and so did i

Prism 05:07
as i lay in this dark place and contemplate the signs, its hard to say what isn't a waste of time, from my hollow face, interpretation, sunshine, and separate good intention from bad tendencies of mine. question: what is perfection to a human state of mind? i try so hard, and what do i find? Nothing and Light. Menorah in the prophets hand with golden flames to melt the sand we swim in and fly through nonlinear time, the walking one and the passerby oh hello, beautiful prism apeirogon eternally risen see my clear white light disperse into 7 every day that you wake, never put it to waste every sun that you paint, let it rise from the page every sound that you make, never let the echo fade
9.
Phosphene 03:00
take my time, i'm happy going nowhere see the signs, but you won't know 'til you get there in the sun, don't hide your eyes from the glare i'll go blind from staring at the light, i don't care light projectors flow like heavy nectar through a skull thats full of red and blue circulate 'til pupils dilate just wide enough for a moth to fly through burning up, almost desperate enough reach for the brightest thing within my sight to which the closer that i move my shadow just consumes everything behind me not in the path of the illuminating light
10.
Perihelion 03:11
enough of this suffering i'm so sick of giving in to these earthy things sun, don't turn back on me don't turn away, don't turn away i've wanted to end it all and i've felt this way for far too long alone, no hands raised up high, bury us into the ground the sun can never set just as long as i can keep it all in my head no more faces towards the sky no more rain, no more rain went on a tangent found the sine in the center was my eye saw the stars could realign this scattered mess i call my mind if i have the time do you have the time do you have the time do you have the time do you have the time do you have the time do you have the time no end in sight when we face the sun around it goes ,earth and light give us rest, i'm done inside no end in sight when we face the sun
11.
Nothing Knew 07:56
indeed, its strange to live a life in such a way just passing by, just passing by.... nothing knew of the light that would come in the night just passing by just passing by nothing knew all the time moth would fly from my eye just passing by just passing by.... i've been clinging to the hope that everything can change in a moments notice the terror is existential i've been contemplating lately that everything seems so perfectly placed and i'm just scattered enough to reach it all found myself sitting between some deities discussing the fate of my soul is it possible its all a numbers game sewn more seeds than i can manage some of which have already started blooming gave 'em water no i gotta give 'em a little light its been 7 years exactly since you came along you know he's gonna free me soon i've been flying around forever making shapes out of dust so you're wrong if you think that i'll ever run out of time in the sun you're set on fire you hear the words "WAKE UP" its neither sane, nor very vegan but i was called to kill the baphomets face that rested upon one head like fate on the gypsies suffocating snake i have no idea whats going on everything is so strange entities keep taking hold i just do what i'm told another call to synchronicity another snake to take its place i see now a 7 rests upon this head as to confirm 1 devils dead i have no idea whats going everything is so strange entities keep taking hold i just do what i'm told please make no mistake for i am only here to wake you whether i whisper that i love you or violently shake you
12.
all this knowledge inside your brain yet so few of us use drugs to learn new things mushrooms collect us for fun and games like cameras of consciousness mind full of each frame the roses are blooming the violets are ready the weed is a hybrid but still very heady i'm on the floor like a light on the ceiling my worlds upside down i'm in love with this feeling
13.
open up your mind and free the moth its got more dreams to see and people to be i myself am actually quite fond of the company but thats just me i spend a lot of time just, like, flying into the lights and shit... it is fun! i don't quite understand what it means to be alive or dead like the walking one yeah
14.
shadows in the wall things you haven't thought of yet multiplying figures like equations in a silouhette but does it all add up? children in the sun they're never growing up maybe i'm the same one you know i burn as bright as they do but oh I've.. always been a runaway wonder lost wanderlust run away don't take yourself so seriously just take it easy just take it easy things will keep on as always trust me just take it easy just take it easy everything will be as its always been so just take it easy
15.
Flicker 02:14
living paradox the same old voice telling you to do something new never stops, but to introduce you to a different kind of blue wake up you're stuck in a coma and this is the only way that we can reach you wake up you've been dreaming this whole time and we just don't know what else to do saturn rings again saturn rings again no one is answering nobody really knows what is really happening skeletons and flashing lights all shaking in quaking earth coiled in the spider web amnesia you deserve all the seasons are changing whether you want them to or not as you sleep and your bed of dead leaves is beginning to rot
16.
catch me staring at the light too long i got this feeling and i just can't seem to walk it off i just keep counting every step i number every thought 7 is the one that will free this moth i try, i try i squint my eyes and get so lost sometimes i lose my fucking mind so i synchronize all the 3s and 5s skip from 2 to 9 i try, i try i try, i try in just a second of sun where i misplaced my keys something came out of nowhere all of my friends and i sneezed free the moth a call out from the endest deep a burden thought the gift of sleep is given back theres no receipt the light is here the moth is free projects out from infernal reach
17.
This whole world is spinning around the walls of this universe were found and they fractal in each one of our skulls. We are eternally hollow at a quantum level. It's a wonder how on earth we exist, but all the good things and the bad things persist. All the animals on the ground, and the sea, and the sky where i can't reach, all the insects, all the aliens, all the tress are part of everything, and everyone, and me. As i'm here, i've a place in which i fit. I've been waiting a long time for this.
18.
Reach 07:07
deluded days glitch across my burning eyes, the sunlight bleeds from every glimpse, new beginnings i've yet to sleep, goodmorning my hair drenched red, nightmares before this dawn has stained my pillow the curtain cracks, the light comes down the stage is set, i take my bow let my dreams rejoice in love i’m thinking of you again, alone beams of light trickle down my shoulder and leave warm pedals now that cannot be so simply brushed away as they sink beneath my skin and embed in my cold skeleton and i feel depth once again it hurts so good every now and then i’m thinking of you again, alone most arent worth a 2nd look so read me once then burn the book pages drift to sky and rip all words to smoke and ashes lit you thought you had a better grip so stare at flower enjoy the trip don’t save me from the light i search for free me from that curse. i’m thinking of you again, alone
19.
isn't life so strange? you wake up everyday and do similar things you hardly notice any difference but things are always different and thats what makes it fun such subtle simplicities of each moment slightly different from the last it kinda makes me laugh to think that i can be apart of this intricacy things can be so intimate or so completely distant try not to be so distant from me try to keep in touch won't you please? i'm missing you so badly already oh, hello you know i have to go i know you'll do just fine, sweet walking one of mine just keep doing similar things i'm never gone forever in fact i'll see you soon i'm just flying towards the moon
20.
Sefirot 03:14
All that i know one day i'll find a different way to escape i dont mind at all for awhile now i've been caged i enjoy it very much no one knows my name set ablaze whered you go? my ebb and flow this light could synchronize to nothing or everything when i woke up, it felt so free with light reflecting off the 7th sea i drowned now i am cleansed time flies so slow sometimes hollow earth sends angels from my pupils in my dreams they answer my call i wake up and know it all
21.
i only dream of aliens and alien abductions and i begin to see its not a dream that i am stuck in lucidly ascending from the ground i have found that what goes up most certainly does not always come down.. invade my space inhumane race to stuff my face with drugs and cake i found my fate up in the sky i woke up here i don't know why its stupid that i have to stay and play this game the system made its lame, i'd leave so please take me up there, somewehere so far, so good
22.
Path 03:14
sitting in the dark, try to be a light so that i can see where i’m going and when i get lost, oh i get so lost waiting on the path for something let me be a light, or please let me be aurora borealis i don’t care to live or die, i try just to find some kind of higher purpose standing with the sun, walking down the street all the meanings of life surround me thought it was so fun, it was all a game tell i find out whats exactly happening so disorganized, contrary to belief, is the eye of illumination universal love transmitted from the center of under-standing digging through the bones, swimming down the holes i find the sum of all things could it be the first, will it be the last i’m just waiting on the path for something sometimes i try not stop and think, force myself to keep on walking i get lost, i get so lost, waiting on the path for something mother's sitting in her chair while father mows the lawn unaware, i climb the stairs to see whats going on choose the blue, or red instead decisions to be made walk sleepily until i'm dead or escape fully awake now which way hello
