“The After-Death World”
“The reminder,
The clear setting-face-to-face…when seeking rebirth.”
“The Sidpa Bardo”
“....is a thought-form hallucination in the Intermediate State”
“…happiness and misery will depend upon karma”
“...for them of evil karma who because of the influence thereof become stricken with fear and terror”
“... one will have a body just like the body of flesh and blood, the former human”
“...wherever thou art to be born…a vision of the place will appear to thee”
“... follow not the visions which appear…through weakness…thou wilt have to wander amidst the Six Lokas and suffer pain”
“...thou must allow thy mind to rest undistractedly in the nothing-to-do…void state of thine intellect”
“...a fixed period is not assured”
“...persons of much evil karma…apparitional illusions…and hallucinations of [being pursued by] many people…and sounds as of mountains crumbling down, and of angry overflowing seas, and of the roaring of fire”
“…in an unbearable intensity”
“...wandering about…incapable of dying”
“in reality there are no such things existing outside oneself…act so as to recognize this”
“Voidness cannot injure voidness; the qualityless cannot injure the qualityless”
“...thy present intellect in the Intermediate State…
continuously in motion,
whatever thought occur to thee now…will wield great power;
...think not in thy mind of impious things…”
“That is thine own illusion”
“Abandon all dotings and hankerings”

Oblivion

Thine own illusion
Whatever thought occur to thee now will wield great power
Line split fold rip a hole in the fabric of time
Dive in the event horizon
Resurrect in a new dimension
Congruent version of accumulated strife
Within an idle vessel
Banned from every level of hell
Left riddled at best with undigested symbols
Sleep-walking through a foggy palace made of clouds in the spiral in the sky
Owned by a tyrant on a thrown the storm perceived as divine
Leader of treason promising a fantasy of going-to-be’s
Smokey dream posing as ecstasy
(careful what you)
The kingdom of oblivion becomes the only certainty of anything
Eventually the dream is all you know to be real
Do you know what you believe
(power, illusion)
Do you know what you believe
(careful what you)
Try to sew up broken stitches
as if it’ll make a difference
Wedged inside each thread holds lies seeding denial
These tangled wires keep
Overriding each decision compromising each intention
(careful what you believe)
Where's the lesson in everything being predestined
(careful what you believe)
Sleep-walking through a foggy palace made of clouds in the spiral in the sky
Owned by a tyrant on a thrown the storm perceived as divine
Leader of treason promising a fantasy of going-to-be’s
Smokey dream posing as ecstasy
(careful what you believe)
The kingdom of oblivion becomes the only certainty of anything
Eventually the dream is all you know to be real
(careful what you believe)
Do you know what you believe
(power, illusion)
Do you know what you believe
(careful what you)

Architect

You had me
Color-changing eyes blurry spinning and envisioning paradise
Residing behind the other side of the sky
Sending a message in the moonlight
But really anything you look for you'll find
Deceit is as easy as seeing stars that aren't there
Time’s moving too slow
So tell me whether believing illusion makes you a liar
Or does it make you delusional
Look at that your experiment that you rigged went
Just as planned no shit
Your elaborate script burned in the fire you set in my head
And so did the test
All the lessons fell in the water under the bridge
I would of jumped from on your command
The walls kept closing in so I ran right through them
What did you expect
Bitter architect let the maze get hazy
I bet that he was hoping I’d go beg him to save me
You had me
If the clouds were falling down
When nobody’s around to see 'em hit the ground
Would the storm still be as loud
Would it even make a sound
Counting blessings every second turns to years spent stressing
Where did the time go
Accelerated in slow motion
Wandering through endless smoke
It gets harder to know
If I'm still dreaming anymore
The floor seems further than the ceiling than before
Too deep the whole world keeps spinning
You play that tune with the same melody on repeat
But I'm too dizzy to see what it really means
(you had me)
Always revising to please constant criticizing
(running in circles while you gas up the world)
Couldn't even recognize me
(and then you claim that you hate the grave you been replicating)
Only defined however you decide
(you had me)
My entire life depended on being compliant
(running in circles while you gas up the world)
Felt like I was dying scared I was losing my mind
(and then you claim that you hate the grave you been replicating)
What a shame
Look at that your experiment that you rigged went
Just as planned no shit
Your elaborate script burned in the fire you set in my head
And so did the test
All the lessons fell in the water under the bridge
I would of jumped from on your command
The walls kept closing in so I ran right through them
What did you expect
Bitter architect let the maze get hazy
I bet that he was hoping I’d go beg him to save me (4x)
You had me
Running in circles while you
Gas up the world and then you
Claim that you hate the grave you
Been replicating
You had me
You had me
You had me
You had me

Desolation
04:49
|
|||
Endless spiral started with a prophet red carpet
Marked with the stains of unshakable karma
From the bleeding heart of a
Half dead star
Reprised from the fires for a graveyard encore
Mind hard-wired to abide by the role assigned
Controlled by
The tyrant on the outside of the screen i’m confined in
Intricate design of the internal universe
Cursed with deceptive reflections intertwined in the thread of it
Awake in a dream as a jaded machine
With manipulated predetermined fate
Indirect dialect I’m expected to dissect
But I left the message unread
Inevitably every word loses sound
When each discrepancy is so clearly
Completely void of integrity
Warped and destroyed
What's left of it’s just noise
Royal’s desolation trip
Royal’s desolation trick
Royal’s desolation trip
Royal’s desolation trick
Detached canvas collapses then I wake up in a castle
Vacant hollow made of glass
The last remains of paint evaporating
In the atmosphere existence disappears
Erasing every fear
Levitating away from finite timelines
With the ends of each side sewn together
No one else is here
Tear through every stitch there goes the limits
Fixed vision on distant glitches
Mixed within a rigid script
Role with it ‘till it closes in on
The mist distorting the program
While you organize each command
Rendered transports of selective frames
To propagate your dishonest game
A test with no right answers
Every version of me questions
If sincerity exists beyond anywhere
That of which occupies my skin
Awake in a dream as a jaded machine
With manipulated predetermined fate
Indirect dialect I’m expected to dissect
But I left the message on read
Inevitably every word loses sound
When each discrepancy is so clearly
Completely void of integrity
Warped and destroyed
What's left of it’s just noise
Royal’s desolation trip
Royal’s desolation trick
Royal’s desolation trip
Royal’s desolation trick
