The Great Glass Elephant

From the start, we built a hole To trap our mind and kill our soul Gave our self a place to hide Infinite space and measurable time What once was lost can now be found Irrational thought, immovable sound Transcendent solarplex align An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind Come with me and find a home In light, in dark, in water and stone Come with me and find a home In light, in dark, in water and stone As the world begins to come undone There is no you, there is only one

Is everybody in? Because no one is speaking Perpetual bliss Through the mouth of the martyr How do you know that you're alive? Without a voice? Without questions? (They compromise their faith without a need for reason) Will love find us as lonely men? (They find a flaw in every crevice, every inch of the soul) Knowing what we can't obtain You were my savior You gave me the gift, gave me the children My purpose to retrace the lines And find out how it all came to be Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Do you believe the afterlife is eternal? What are you looking for? If death is an escape, then why are you waiting? Life is too perfect for words (They compromise their faith without a need for reason) Will truth find us in the end? (They find a flaw in every crevice, every inch of the soul) Never to know of our bliss You were my savior You gave me the gift, gave me the children My purpose to retrace the lines And find out how it all came to be Is this how it must be? Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh We move in circles We move in circles We move in circles We move in circles We move in circles We move in circles This is evidence of men who never existed Never to have walked the earth But forever bathed in sin With nothing to lose And everything to gain We're going nowhere (We're going nowhere) Faster than we planned

I was the river's smile Coursing through your mind Keeping your speech in tune while I wrestled the fire We were golden (I hear you're coming 'round again) Drinking nights away (I feel you sleeping in my bones) Singing for the ages (You're here to bring me back to earth) We've been singing lives away for years And there's nothing here But your sex and drugs You're always selling me out, keeping me down You mountebank And there's nothing here But your sex and drugs You know I can't resist the world We've been on the streets (You know I'm coming 'round again) Waking up for the first time Getting closer (You know I'm coming 'round again) Ever closer (You'll feel me sleeping in your mind) To the end of our demise (I'm here to bring you back to God, to God) And there's nothing here But your sex and drugs You're always selling me out, keeping me down You mountebank And there's nothing here But your sex and drugs You know I can't resist the world Shake off the need to be sober Show them that they can mean something We are supplement to everything in sequence Shake off the need for mutuality There's no real love in this business Bypass the need for a come-down It's all what you believe So they say

So take this you're bound to feel something There's no point in talking yourself out of common ground Please don't forget to step sideways Intentions lead to malfunctions Through the eyes, no surprises Higher and higher Burn this city, burn this city Higher and higher We always do our best to stop and forget Higher and higher Burn this city, burn this city Higher and higher Caught in the same mistake, to always disagree Always monitoring pulses and attempting To keep your head on tight, at least for the night Did you forget to wear clothing? Or did you leave your morals back at home Where we all belong? Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh Oh yeah The night's still young We're never going home Never going home Oh yeah The night's still young We're never going home Never going home We've got everything you need

We're constantly trembling men Lives invested in glass houses Reflections abroad, but narrowed and drawn Just to watch as I drift between dreams Do you recall the roads we paved along the way? Is it absolute to die and be forgotten? Complete us (We're doing our best to get by) Complete us (Is it absolute to die and be forgotten?) Is it absolute to die and be forgotten We complete us when we know ourselves so well Will you wait by the river to see if we make it home safe? Are we safe? Safe Are you safe? We remember you As a child in the arms of the infinite We remember As you pass through the wombs of the earth The smell of cigarettes seeps through the door As if I wasn't enough, you keep asking for more Begging and borrowed, you call out my name But you're far too young to not be in the game, yeah We can't leave here until we open the door Sarcophagus bliss or intangible copies? We work to free ourselves from what's free You can't breathe here or find a lost cause With my ash in the urn, who's counting what's gone? We remember you As a child in the arms of the infinite We remember As you pass through the wombs of the earth

I was caught stagnant in the house of the holy Riddled with riddles and a jaded mind I rattled in rhyme with no sense of time When I heard her divine voice speak slowly You're gonna need a bastard's fire If you're gonna stand up for us You can't be giving your light away For that misplaced sense of lust As the years aged my weary eyes My vagrant journey led me to the riverbed I drank from the well and felt the light of man Incandescent children singing, "Praise us once again" So you've got your bastard's fire But you ain't got no one to lead And I said, "Naive sister We'll lead each other, just you wait and see." Come with me and open your mind We'll take a trip through space and time Where one is all, all is one Come together under the sun Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Oh yeah Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I Everybody, I and I

Redundancy in the form of explanation To hide behind a subtle flaw and bring about the end Consistency is comfortable, but prerogatives inclined We speak to know and know to speak In learning, we have slept through the winter Only to learn what it means to become (And awake with you again) When we welcome complications We're selling our worth by the day We remain Locked in a room We built without knowing Constructing ideas too heavy to carry Constructing ideas too heavy to care I slept through the winter Only to learn what it means to become (And awake with you again) When we welcome complications We're selling our worth by the day Leave the dead space between the walls We'll find a way to compromise integrity House into a home Give us a God that we can believe in I slept through the winter Only to learn what it means to become (And awake with you again) When we welcome complications We're selling our worth by the day Leave the dead space between the walls We'll find a way to compromise integrity House into a home Give us a God that we can believe in

One million eyes set in motion by a man of pride, a heretic If there's a way out tell me now While we're all still here If there's a way out tell me now While we're all still here We're still waiting for you to take us away And make us whole again But you never came And we never thought to ask why We just lost belief by the day Gained perspective by the hour We found a way in And it seems we're here to stay We're still waiting for you to take us away And make us whole again But you never came And we never thought to ask why And you taught us not to question And you taught us not to question You taught us not to question You taught us not to question Taught us not to ask why Why?! We're still learning With patience (with patience) With time (with time) With understanding Understanding (x3) Take us away And make us all forget That you'll never come And we'll never care

Mercury into gold Manifest yourself a place to hold Compromise the dream, suffocate the dreamer You'll never know We are the perfect balance of imbalance and subterfuge We don't have the answer She will coalesce into existence Omnipotent, immaculate Our mother's hands are perfect They will teach all of us how to let go They will teach all of us how to let go I am imperial (The son of the son) I am collected (Into the only one) The burden of the throne Panegyrized in stone Exiled from The temple of the weak Transmutation The Magnum Opus dignified Amalgamate the soul Detach yourself from reason And then you'll know We are the perfect semblance of God and her intransigence Vindicated from antiquity I need light I need oxygen I need light I need oxygen I need light I need oxygen I need light I need oxygen

I've been gone for so long I can barely recall The day I departed Or the day you arrived The incubus of divergence Turned convalescent In the invariably broadening Conspectus of time and place But I couldn't stay there In a place where spatial identity was irrelevant In all, I could do In all, I've ever wanted... I'll pack my bags (As full as I could) And take it all with me I'll pack my bags (As full as I could) Go back to the start Then I lose myself In the smoke filled room In the throne of the omnipotent Preternatural impulses To think that we can go it alone But there is nothing to gain Nothing to sacrifice And all we have is everything we share To help each other along "We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it."
