Awaken

Iíd kill for you
I died for you
I cried a million tears mourning over you
I would take back everything that is mine
To relive one glimpse of our moment in time
I am troubled from what has seized to be
Feeling incomplete knowing youíre the missing piece
How do I persist in a world that can ít exist?
If I had one wish, it would be to fix all of this
Hold me down
Confined and under siege
Terror in all of my good dreams of me
Finally, set me free
Drop me like a penny down a well
And wish away all you ever felt
Shackle me to resentment of self
And erase my face with someone else
Loving deceit will not leave
Iíll never break free from jealousy
This curse still lingers in treachery
Every waking moment is misery
This is why:
I hate this world more than anything
I begged to you, ìStay awake for me.î
You cradled back into a beautiful sleep
Life is nothing more than an endless dream
Sinking under starlight
Drift away into open nights
Iíll be finally set free
There is no safety in closing my eyes anymore.
In the past it brought warm rushes through my body at the thought of her.
It has been replaced by a hollow feeling where my heart used to lie.
Oh, how I long to have that feeling once again.
For either a moment or forever, I just want to hold her so close that there is nothing between us.
To get lost in her beautiful brown eyes and taste her lovely lips once more.
Her voice is like waves crashing on the shore and I think about her always.
I can ít even sleep to get away.
She owns my dreams as well.
[ìRonaî written by Aaron Marks]
Weíre like minds in suicide
Harmoniously, killing in our symphony
Canvas us in lucid dreams
When life ís an art of agony
This is our awakening
I am awake
The torment of disaster faced wide awake
Left picking up the pieces of this heartache
The plane of delirium where nothing is what it seems
Iím dying for life and living in a lucid dream
Heroine, woman of my dreams
Heroin, my dreamÖ
She still owns my dreams as well
When life ís an art...

Cold As November
04:00
|
|||
I see your face starring through me
Like Iím nothing that youíll ever need
Love has become less like a memory and more like a dream
Dissipating with all the winds that change
Beneath all the stale pain we have
Cause it hurts not to have it
But it feels not to have it
Something so far awayÖ
Letís set aside all these things that are hidden from view
Because in our minds we both know who are the accused
One can only concludeÖ Nothing is as cold as you
Youíll forget but Iíll remember
Leaving me as cold as November
Look at me donít say you hate me
Tell me that youíll never surrender
But I know you and I know you
Hibernating from all the blame I face
The price of truth canít afford another excuse
Cause it hurts like a habit
But you know you canít have it [I miss you]
Youíre the drug and Iím the addict
Youíll forget but Iíll remember
Leaving me as cold as November
Look at me donít say you hate me
Tell me that youíll never surrender
But I know you and I know you
Youíre cold

Paradox
04:35
|

Lies all the time
When will we get it straight?
So we can fill up with your lungs
Your lungs not mine
Live when you die
This is the paradigm
So we can fill up without the lies
Make one from two
I am me and you
And nothing can separate us
We’ll tear it apart
The rift will belong to you and I
This paradox constantly taunts me in deceit
I want to push it inside and hide in nothing but relief
You never wanted to see the truth cause it hurts you too
Be just me is something you can only do
I want to push it inside
With nothing to hide
Never see the truth
We’ll tear it apart
We’ll see the end
Then we’ll finally be you
Did you even try to say it to my face?
Let’s wrong the rights on your mind
Bind to the blind
Live when you die
This is the paradigm
So we can fill up without the lies
Make one from two
I am me and you
And nothing can separate us
We’ll tear it apart
The rift will belong to you and I
This paradox constantly taunts me in deceit
I want to push it inside and hide in nothing but relief
You never wanted to see the truth cause it hurts you to
Be just me is something you can only do
I want to push it inside
With nothing to hide
We’ll never see the truth
We’ll tear it apart
We’ll see the end
Then we’ll finally be you
Overdose me in comatosing rhetoric of hypocrites
There is no coming and no going only impermanence still exists
Don’t want to push it inside
With nothing to hide
Then I’ll find my way back through
I’ll tear it apart
We’ll tear it apart
Then I’ll find my way through
I despise your lies
In your mind you are right
But blind through my eyes
As we confide in this paradigm
Can we find me and you in us?
Overdose me in the comatosing rhetoric of hypocrites
There is no coming and no going only impermanence still exists
I want to push it inside
With nothing to hide
You’ll never see the truth
We’ll tear it apart
We’ll see the end
Then we’ll finally be you
Wanna tear it apart
Rip it apart
Then I’ll finally see you

Facade
03:23
|
|||
Take a breath and close your eyes
Carry away inside of compromise
It's as natural as preservation
Play the game that I am fine
But inside I die one day at a time
Imagination is the only limitation
This facade will hide my true disguise in all surroundings
These fallacies will comfort me inside a wronged reality
Crawl on beggars knees no honor lies among all thieves
Can't tolerate to keep life straight when all I see are facades and fallacies
This is all a facade and the fallacies are killing me
How I hate in sincerity, you winning over me
This facade will hide my true disguise in all surroundings
These fallacies will comfort me inside a wronged reality
Crawl on beggars knees no honor lies among all thieves
Can't tolerate to keep life straight when all I see are facades and fallacies
Who is still alone?
I am so alone
I know why you hate yourself
Alone
Can you tell me now who am I?
I am just a lie

Lost Time
05:38
|
|||
Countless days, I've thrown my life away
Saying, “This will be the day that I change.”
But it never came, till I reclaimed myself
This is my time
All of these days I spent placating
Just wanted to walk away
From all the things I've hurt the most
I'd say, “I guess this is where I'll stay.”
Inside the pain, lost in time
Now, I start from the end
Will I ever win or just pretend?
What you give is what you get
And all I'm left is contempt
When will this end?
Do not die with the music inside
Celebrate what defines being alive
Who decides what is wrong from right?
Are you true to yourself or just fronting a lie?
Victory is measured in suffering
As we sow and reap in self prophecy
Claim the keys you hide and seek
Or retreat beside fear and defeat
I will fight for what is mine
I will not die with lost time
Don't ever claim to relate if you don't
Come face to face with the demons today
You know you'll never escape the slave you create
Unless you let go of your hope and then learn
The difference between believe and know
No, I will not repent for it's never been sin to exist
Attrition infringed the hearts of men
I will not submit to this endless list of victims
Hating and creating our indifferences until the end
Make no mistake, I fell from grace
I've been betrayed and I've done the same
I've faced the grave and felt the flames
I'm 30 pieces in exchange
I decimate but never hesitate
I came, I saw, and forever changed
I originate but never replicate
I separate all imitating greatness
-Kiss of Judas
Victory is measured in suffering
As we sow and reap in self prophecy
Claim the keys you hide and seek
Or retreat beside fear and defeat
I will fight for what is mine
I will not die with lost time
This is my time to live my life
Spare me the speech you were sold
Born a black sheep only to die a scapegoat
Romancing poems denotes superfluous prose selling out our souls
Only to dispose of all of those who hold the antidote
No, I will not sit and listen to this bullshit
Tournament rounds of forfeit encouragement
That's why I came to shut it down with no authority
A massive attack on the silent majority
Countless days, I've thrown my life away
Saying, “This will be the day that I change.”
But it never came, till I reclaimed myself
Victory is measured in suffering
As we sow and reap in self prophecy
Claim the keys you hide and seek
Or retreat beside fear and defeat
I will fight for what is mine
I will not die with lost time

Salience
03:41
|
|||
I've seen the pieces of you
Collect the empty in me
We watched the core break away
And now we're falling down
Inside we rise to salience
To think of you is to die
Plague the essence of my life
I can't escape the condescension
It rapes my conscious like witnessing a homicide
As I fell before me
You came adoringly
And whispered into my ear
Those two words, 'Lucid Dream'.
I'm so ignorant to all these things
That I want to believe
Did I make this happen to me?
Or am I just happening to me?
You're salient to me
I've seen the pieces of you
Collect the empty in me
We watched the core break away
And now we're falling down
Inside we rise in salience
You know where I'll find you
Right next to me
You're salient to me

Reverie
04:00
|

Was this a dream?
Am I dreaming?
I am lucid now
Holding us all in the world and we go
And fall into place inside these dreams
It's not like we stay too long awake or wonder why
Was this a dream?
Where are we now?
Is it where we should be?
Where are we now?
Chasing our dreams
Where are we now?
Days turn to dreams
Where are we now?
Escape into sleep
I've fallen to place inside these dreams
Or am I just falling down to you?
Where are we now?
Is it where we should be?
Where are we now?
Chasing our dreams
Where are we now?
Days turn to dreams
Where are we now?
Escape into sleep

Enmity
03:23
|

I'm just one man
My plan is to fight with these words
Love it or hate it, it's great cause it's my right to be heard
I know this ain't just a verse, it's a drop in a drought
All the propaganda and bullshit, I'm blockin' it out
Go ahead and cover ya ears, I ain't gonna talk, Ima shout
Fuck talkin' it out, is what the fuck I'm talking about
Anybody stepping up in front of this mic could be served
I paid my taxes so give me back the rights I deserve
So, if patience is a virtue and success is a curse
Then death is the only method for this stress to reverse
Even though the most of you is seein' the truth is apparent
They think you shouldn't hear it so they keep the proof esoteric
Government is making all these fake threats through the media
So we log on and spend our paychecks at Expedia
And won't admit shit wear the shoe if the shit fits
Money's the root of evil so dude look at who prints it
Hold on, don't go having a fit again
I'm happy to be a citizen in the country I live in
I'm thankful for every person that's serving the forces
So I can kick back with a rap verse and record it
I'm just stating the fact:
The powers been removed from the hands of the majority
Poured in the hands of a few
If we don't agree with the views, what we gonna do?
We're gonna rage against the machine and our freedom is through
Who are you?
The truth this time means more than ever before
We find our peace when we wage our wars
I hate the way the world is today
The more things change, the more they stay the same
I'm war/I'm peace
I'm the freedom of speech
Once home of the brave in the land of the free
Be not about what could be but should be
Always knew there would be this underlying enmity
That runs so deep between my enemies and dreams
I can guarantee it'll be you before it'll be me
Never contest the nexus of Cathexis
We don't follow trends motherfucker we set them
Look into my eyes and tell me are you ready to die
For what you know in your heart is unquestionably right?
How many times?
How many lives?
How fights?
How many lies will we reapply and deny?
Will we survive or reach a compromise?
Can we unite or forever divide in demise?
Conflict will still arise, innocent will always die
For we can't see the enemy is in our minds
What's equally worse is half these cops aren't equitable
When they should be equilateral damn, this shit is pitiful
It isn't minimal, it's critical
Follow along
Should I stick with this tone of voice or holla on a song?
I'm right between being a Republican or a Democrat
Take F-U-C-K T-H-A-T and scribble it on my epitaph
I'm sure you're wondering how this is all equating
But I think that my dissertation is making it pretty blatant
I'm sick of all the hating you fakes is fuckin' up
I was a pompous fuck before I touched a Tonka truck
The voice on the beat is like a hallmark
It all starts as soon as I'm done rollin
Through more grass than a golf cart
Ya'll start shit, I finish it
Take your rank and diminish it
Music's my manifesto
You gonna witness it
I'm a giant Goliath
You ain't gonna beat me
But I beat the shit outta you
If ya try to cheat me

Panecea
03:48

Reality is what you choose to see
A mystique motif intricately
Designed to read between the lines
Find the secret deep inside the lies
No luxuries hide in hyperbole
Nor predisposed ideology
These pressures of society
Doubt is the panacea to suffering
Reality inside
Inside the lies, we can't hide
You are my answer to sleepless nights
I found you inside my body
We are now inside
You can win this relentless friction with existence
Envision and resist in consistent persistence
Induced to slavery and inadequacy
Expect to get dirty if you want to come clean
This illusion that you’re free because you believe
In these sentimental tales that others preach
Through the years you obey in fear
Because you don’t ever question what you read, see, or hear
Praise and crusade into Hell
Why face disgrace when you can push the blame on somebody else?
Claim your vice and you’ll pay the price
This is your chance to back your life
Trust in yourself and no one else
It’s how you play the cards that you’ve been dealt
There’s no excuse whether you win or lose
Because it’s not what you did but what you do
And that’s the truth
Reality is what you choose to see
A mystique motif intricately
Designed to read between the lines
Find the secret deep inside the lies
No luxuries hide in hyperbole
Nor predisposed ideology
These pressures of society
Doubt is the panacea to suffering
If I can be anything
I would be me
If we can be anything
We could be love
Reality is what you choose to see
A mystique motif intricately
Designed to read between the lines
Find the secret deep inside the lies
No luxuries hide in hyperbole
Nor predisposed ideology
These pressures of society
Doubt is the panacea to suffering
Reality lives inside
Inside the lies, we can't hide
Regardless of question
The answer is you
Trust your instincts
I can find that I am free
When I decide to be
I am free
The choice is up to me

Eyewitness
04:10

I can hear your lies inside my head at night
Turning and tossing in my bed all the time
Cold sweat and regret sleep by my side
These moans in my bones stay lovers for life
Quid pro quo let the evidence show
I'm as guilty as you and I don't have a clue
May the court note that you're under oath
Abuse the excuse defending me versus you
You swore an oath of loyalty
To uphold accordingly
Your judgments hold me in contempt
But only the guilty plea the fifth
I'm an eyewitness and accomplice to you
Testify an alibi and persecute the truth
Justice and love are both blind in the trials of us
But what do you do when the victim is you?
Reasonable doubt resides in those that decide
When both of us know it's you that's a lie
Fleeing from the scene my evidence ties
You to the proof of organized crimes
I'm an eyewitness and accomplice to you
Testify an alibi and persecute the truth
Justice and love are both blind in the trials of us
But what do you do when the victim is you?
What do you do?
The victim is you
I'm an eyewitness and accomplice to you
Testify an alibi and persecute the truth
Justice and love are both blind in the trials of us
But what do you do when the victim is you?
I know it was you

I’ve seen the pieces of you
Collect the empty in me
We watched the core break away
And now we're falling down
Inside we rise to salience
To think of you is to die
And I don't want to die
Plague the essence of my life
I can't escape the condescension
It rapes my conscious like witnessing a homicide
As I feel before me
You came adoringly
And whispered into my ear
Those two words, “Lucid Dream.”
I was ignorant to all these things
I used to believe
Did I make this happen to me or did you?
Or am I just happening to me?
I'm salient to me
I've seen the pieces of you
Collect the empty in me
We watched the core break away
And now we're falling down
Inside we rise to salience

Lucid Dream Project Denver, Colorado
This project is an application of the lucid dream paradigm into our personal reality. If in fact we can gain awareness, we in turn gain power, and ultimately manifest our dreams into a collective reality. The only limit to us, is ourselves.
