Judge 02:23
I am the chosen one To differ (the) good from the bad I am always right Prepare to be judged Your opinion is punitive Who opposes me will not be tolerated They will stay forever fugitive Scum of society will always be hated Those who consent will be saved With judges train to safety send Behold all the scum behind the window They’re convicted to stay in that limbo We will reprogram and brainwash you So you will hate as we do.

Scintillate 04:40
What makes you to feel different from outer world? Does the skin separate you from everything around? At last it happened You have encountered Glimpse of your wholeness Stretched far from yourself Process of coming Into existence You have seen Your senses are now Not enough for you Understanding is Not same as was Certainty is gone There is no answer to „Who am I?“ Active process, involving consciousness That’s what you are Just a moment in gigantic heartbeat That’s what we are That’s what we all are You will not feel you are a part of this game Where there are no winners or losers Just joy of being Perhaps there’s a way Break down those walls Which isolate you from your real body and mind It lies beyond the causal sphere Active process, involving consciousness That’s what you are Just a moment In gigantic heartbeat That’s what we are

Rupture 04:45
Here at this strange place Broken and waiting for the grace Can’t hold it back any longer It makes that feeling even stronger Pain is endless and unbearable Suddenly the light of hope shows and it’s incredible It just tears the darkness it’s irresistible I don’t understand where it goes, this feeling is undeniable Oh why? Following the light I’ve burned my skin Afraid of darkness Submitted for eternal suffering I can’t stand it any more The light is helping no more I can feel that is burning But the darkness is killing It’s tearing me to two parts I can’t think and not even change anything The end is near and I have uneven thoughts Pain has became grievous When my body crumbles into several parts I was left in this oblivion Because of my indecision Collapse of my life that destruction Has became my only option There is no time for regret Because there is nothing left

Traveller 07:25
You look up to me when you need the answers Connecting to (the) data flowing through me You call me names even though I am nameless While you extract my insides for your needs It’s not an apparition My presence is eternal Clog my pores, fill my holes. Feed me! I will accept you and make you into me I am (a) traveller – my destination is nowhere I soak through everything – nothing escapes me And then you reach your hand – trying to rip part of myself I’ll surrender – consign my body to your lynching mind I am (a) traveller – my destination is nowhere Mutual bond A connection Is what helps you - Raises you up To higher form Takes you to new destination Although your way Transformation - Does not have end Takes forever You are destined To be nomad for good Hide inside me Cover yourself – nourish from me Make me your prey Through the fractal Recurring feast Pieces of me Leave my body Nevertheless – I’m still rising Nothing from me Ever gets lost Tune into me – feel the unbounded oneness Help me to radiate, extend my limbs Saturate (saturate, saturate) Synchronic act of birth gave us both life. Synchronic act of birth gave us both life.

Tantrums 04:56
After last occurrence Which was caused by distress Walking on the path which is endless Like have a life without significance The mind is stuck between those dimensions Every step hurts like walking on needles From out of nowhere some voice comes “Have some fresh air, here is your mask Look through the window, erase the sun Crawl through the floor and feel the rain Stretch your hand out and embrace your gun” Don’t be afraid that is what that voice says In this case there are not many options After such a long time here the body crumbles Walking in the middle screaming in this corridor Can’t contact anyone it’s like talking to a mirror Don’t understand what is happening Just keep on walking, don’t try to change anything Finally the mirror changes to glass There is some face that the mind recognizes Unable to find the words to apologize You succumb to stress Thoughts so deflated that words doesn’t make any sense The brain is trapped in the prison of this circumstance
7.
Filters 04:01
Look through beyond the time Beyond the space the things are Not what they seem Don’t count too much on your eyes Close them and what you see Darkness or shining colours? World does not stop The stories unwind inside you Streamlet of consciousness creating the universe Dismiss “the obvious” Look for the hidden patterns They will help you And lead you to the truth The truth is there is no truth That seeks the way to your eyes Make the path clear Turn off your filters, let you go Come to be alive Creation at hand The eyes of the one Look through you on earth You have just found That matter does not Matter anymore Constructing the world Through your own life Abrogate the given spectrum Let your mind not be confined Delete the maps, make your step Not knowing where you will stride

Hunch 01:04

Integral 11:22
Sweat pouring out, your eyes focusing slowly The land that you saw before evaporated Look at yourself; just few inches above the ground, you see (difference that it makes) So little does it take to see the lines spread to everywhere One and one is one The sounds and the faces, numinous and crystallized and pure (reaching out to you) So brittle, is this realm to find the right thread from your despair Now when you’ve opened the map and something’s clearer to you don’t close it now explore it well Those lines are cutting the one into separate pieces put them together don’t look one way Above abstract illusions of these definitive truths just squeeze the neck of this paradigm Place yourself in the middle, behold (the) territory now you see yourself for the first time I - Interior individual It - Exterior individual Its - Exterior Collective We - Interior Collective Enclosed by all the stages Seeing in more dimensions With the help of the sages You create the intention To accept Now when you’ve opened the map and something’s clearer to you don’t close it now just explore it well Those lines are cutting the one into separate pieces put them together don’t look one way Above abstract illusions of these definitive truths just squeeze the neck of this paradigm Place yourself in the middle, behold (the) territory now you see yourself for the first time “I’ve never been the chosen one The good and the bad lost all sense to me What’s left is on the right My judgement’s failure marked the transition” “Bowing my head derided by vanity That indistinct scintilla stopped my rupture What I see is not all there is Where have you travelled here from?” I’ve come from behind your filters In order to relieve you from your tantrums Let the hunch that you feel Help you too see yourself. And you see yourself for the first time Count to one! “Counting to one I see myself for the first time”
