Unravel

Hidden truths, we look for the reasons why

What we find are only questions, no answers

The answers create insanity, and loss of hope

Inescapable feelings, indifference, lack of ambition

And no way to be driven

Imagination, the key to manifestation

Create love, create drama, create pain

Create emotion, create thought, create the mind

Look inside to find what’s within behind

Nothing exists save this constant consciousness

The outer shell and windows within

Plug in plug out of this world of your own

Nothing to do, nothing to say

Which reality is true anyway?

Time nonexistent, only in blocks of experience

Dress me up in life’s fancies

Dreams more real than this constant insanity

Can’t blow it away with nowhere to go

This linear time moving slow

In the waiting, pain exhilarating

Patience comes when consciousness witnessed

Life is blessed, and real only in myths

Dream a choice manifest the best

Daily lives convert this nothingness

Dimension to dimension we carry hopes

Live again while laughing within

God himself only aware of that which is

That which isn’t becomes tomorrows dream

A new reason to smile

A new reason to cry

How we love these worlds in lies

Cosmic riddles shown deep in eyes

Death, depth, depressed, deep rest

Swallow the water and forget the trust

Make it real make it true

There is absolutely nothing else to do

Your own true essence smiling above you

Unravel it and create something beautiful anew
