lyrics

Verse one:

Music's like a snake charmer
I'm a man with no armor
Dancing to the rhythm, and my shadow, looks like karma
I can feel it chasin' me
Feelin' like a race to me
The feelin' is familiar, but this is a new phase for me
Basically
I used to get so baked they called me pastry
Try to run away from problems, but they won't escape from me
Cuz the prison is inside
My paradigm
And pair of thoughts
Called a paradox
And, apparently, I appear lost
I occasionally veer off, the path
As I steer off, the map
Tryin' to clear off, my past
Life flows in cycles
Time is a lie and success is a psycho
Rejoin the rhythm
Rejoin the vision and
Rejoin your wisdom
There is no algorithm
There's only decisions
Improvised livin' in the palm of a prism
Five blind men and an elephant, gropin'
Can't tell what the hell it is, hopin'
Life is more than what meets the hands
To make God laugh, just go speak your plans

Chorus:

Lines and circles
Circles and lines
The lies might hurt you
The blind lead the blind
In time you will find
That it time you will find
The answers to your questions
Are the questions in your mind

To live is to die
To live is to lose
To live is to cry
To live is to bruise

To live is to work
To live is to feel
To live is to hurt
To live it to heal

Verse two:

Writin' on paper
The lines are blinds
Looking out the window
To signs, in my mind
Cuz I'm...
A book with a broken spine
Read into everything
Wish I could rewind
I could've skimmed, but read every letter
Drew out the lines, everything meta
Chewed through the rhine
Spit out the better
Parts of my heart
Tryin' to be clever
The things that we sever
May die away forever
As we incorrectly measure
Life in the fast lane
Fight with my past brain
Dream of my future
But the present is my last aim
The now is... hard to frame
Right now is... hard to tame
But now is all we have, so we try to maintain
And kill lies that infect our mainframe
Dying to breathe
Dying to be
Dying to dream
Dying to see
But livin' for me

Repeat chorus
