Lyrics

Trepanation: To bore a hole in the skull Letting the cosmic energy flow into your mind... Blunt force reprogrammed my intellect to accept discovery A spiritual trephine, awakening consciousness long dormant Suddenly I wonder why I talk to myself Like I am talking to someone else Can't look at my own reflection for extended periods: Causes discomfort, causes shame... Floating in space Darkness surrounds me Memories have gone blank What could have caused this? I woke up at 3 AM Not knowing the damage done Life's become surreal Memories drift in and out I read the note several times It is yet to sink in I must unravel myself To undo this damage done Tilt your head back and experience An infinite journey Into the stars My travels have only just... Only just begun! Washed in the light of the universe Ten thousand galaxies expand and contract In reverie I watch them grow and change Seemingly random, beautiful patterns emerge Feel the energy envelop me... We are just temporary, though our essence lives on in energy And so I breathe, I learn, I grow, I experience! Knowing that meaning exists Even in the absence of a creator No fairy tale afterlife, this seems so much better: Part of the universe, traveling FOREVER
