The Dreamer and the Dream
(In coming to, I come to find that)
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...

Who You Are
Consider who you'd rather be
And realize that’s who you’ve always been
All your differing personalities,
Mere reflections of your family's and friends’
They may think they have your best interest in mind
But there’s only one you who can truly decide
What’s right for your life
So recall all you have ever known
And you'll be shown that there is always more
Every line your mind has ever drawn,
Already gone, washed up beyond the shore
You...
And realize that’s who you’ve always been
All your differing personalities,
Mere reflections of your family's and friends’
They may think they have your best interest in mind
But there’s only one you who can truly decide
What’s right for your life
So recall all you have ever known
And you'll be shown that there is always more
Every line your mind has ever drawn,
Already gone, washed up beyond the shore
You...

Till We Meet Again
I ran into
An old friend Whom
I'd never met before,
But somehow, I knew everything about Him
Although, He
Didn't know me,
So I turned around and went the other way,
And He said, "Till we meet again..."
*Interlude*
I saw Him again,
A little earlier that day,
But He didn't see me,
And so I looked away
But He saw through my eyes,
Through my every memory,
A stranger's life,
A passerby
A passerby
A passerby
God!
What do I do
With my...
An old friend Whom
I'd never met before,
But somehow, I knew everything about Him
Although, He
Didn't know me,
So I turned around and went the other way,
And He said, "Till we meet again..."
*Interlude*
I saw Him again,
A little earlier that day,
But He didn't see me,
And so I looked away
But He saw through my eyes,
Through my every memory,
A stranger's life,
A passerby
A passerby
A passerby
God!
What do I do
With my...

Intrepid Traveler
Oh, you poor intrepid traveler
If only you knew, we're all cheering for you
Because we're all in the know
Except for you; no, you don't have a clue
Your journey entertains
From which you can't refrain, oh no
It's the same old story again and again
Oh, you poor intrepid traveler
If only you knew, we all walk in your shoes
From the comfort of our home
We all watch everything you do
The movie entertains
But we can feel your pain, oh boy
As you’re bound to live it unto no end
Oh, you poor intrepid...
If only you knew, we're all cheering for you
Because we're all in the know
Except for you; no, you don't have a clue

Oh, you poor intrepid traveler
If only you knew, we all walk in your shoes

We all watch everything you do

But we can feel your pain, oh boy
As you’re bound to live it unto no end
Oh, you poor intrepid...

Reset
What am I doing here?
Nothing really seems to make much sense
How have I found my soul
Living in such ignorance?
Is there anything I can do?
Is there anything I can say?
Is there anything I can do?
To hit reset on
This game I'm playing
(So-called "reality"
It’s pure insanity)
What is this world I’m in?
My God, what’s happening?
What is this world I’m in?
Tell me what is happening
In this existence
Tell me, what is happening?
Is there anything I can...
Nothing really seems to make much sense
How have I found my soul
Living in such ignorance?

What is this world I’m in?
Tell me what is happening

Tell me, what is happening?
Is there anything I can...

Nothing to Give
I’ve got "nothing" to give and it’s all for you
It’s the absolute least that I could do
I didn’t wrap it; I hope you don’t mind
I’ve got no plans, but I couldn’t find the time
I've "nowhere" to be, but I’d better go
Should've taken my leave, a long time ago
Oh, don't mind me; don't act like you care
I'll just pack up my air, and head back to "nowhere"
But I leave you with "nothing;" you’d do the same for me, too
It’s truly all that I could possibly do
I didn’t wrap it; it’s already confined
In the deepest recesses of your...
It’s the absolute least that I could do

My Friend
My friend,
You’ve got a long way to go
But you should know
You don’t have to walk this road alone
You don’t have to go it all on your own
I’ll be with you to the end
My friend,
You've got a life left to live
Don’t let yourself lose yourself
You’ve got so much left to give
Oh, if only you knew
You’re worth so much more than you’ll ever know
Just know that much, it is true
And that I’m right here by your side
So don’t...
Run...
Don’t...
Hide your love
Away from the world
No,...
You’ve got a long way to go
But you should know
You don’t have to walk this road alone
You don’t have to go it all on your own
I’ll be with you to the end
My friend,
You've got a life left to live
Don’t let yourself lose yourself
You’ve got so much left to give
Oh, if only you knew
You’re worth so much more than you’ll ever know
Just know that much, it is true
And that I’m right here by your side
So don’t...
Run...
Don’t...
Hide your love
Away from the world

The Truth Lies Within
Discover the Truth for yourself
Forget everything you've been told
Believe not a thing that you've heard
Believe me,
I've told you
how to know
what is True
Forget what
you've read,
you already do
Forget everything you've been told
Believe not a thing that you've heard
Believe me,
I've told you
how to know
what is True
Forget what
you've read,
you already do

Here (Already)
Feels like I'm always in a rush
To be somewhere else
But, what for, what for, what for?
Always in a hurry to turn right around
And run out the door
But, where am I headed?
When I'm here already
Oh, where am I trying to go
When I'm only ever here already (here already)
It's like I'm running in circles
But, I'm always going to be the
Bullseye, bullseye, bullseye
Though the world don't revolve around me
No, I know without you, there'd be no I
So, where are we going now?
When we're here already (here...
To be somewhere else
But, what for, what for, what for?
Always in a hurry to turn right around
And run out the door
But, where am I headed?
When I'm here already
Oh, where am I trying to go
When I'm only ever here already (here already)
It's like I'm running in circles
But, I'm always going to be the
Bullseye, bullseye, bullseye
Though the world don't revolve around me

You and me
We can be it all, and yet we're all that we can be
Be anything we want, and still we'll only ever be
You and me
Wherever You go, it is there that I'll be found
From now, unto the end of time
I'll be dancing all around
Your Holy ground
You conceive it all, and yet I'm all that You can see
You permeate through everything, but'll only ever breathe
Through You and me
Alone, we're nothing
But, Together We're THE ALL
Fractured individuals
Brought Together, We are...
Be anything we want, and still we'll only ever be
You and me
Wherever You go, it is there that I'll be found
From now, unto the end of time
I'll be dancing all around
Your Holy ground
You conceive it all, and yet I'm all that You can see
You permeate through everything, but'll only ever breathe

Alone, we're nothing

Brace Yourself (A Journey in Automatic Writing)
Brace yourself for impact,
Soon we'll be crashing,
Into something previously unforeseen
But, it's okay,
If you keep your wits about you,
It's just to test your latent abilities
For, they will arise,
From the depths of the mind
When the time does arrive
To reveal your potential
So, brace for impact
And know just up ahead,
You will know why we fell to this world
And as a matter of fact,
There are no facts at all
When we write our own rules,
By which we all must follow
...

Mixed Emotions
Rough audio cut in "Author's Note," should anyone care to listen 🙈 *
Dreams of things that split the night
All your worries, all your... trite expressions
But, you are something more, in spite
Of petty ways... mindless obsessions
I see you
Do you see you, too?
When you look into the sky
I see you
Do you see me, too?
When you close your eyes?
Dreams of things that lit the night
Endless hope and mis... direction
They fly around you like a kite
All tangled up... in...
Dreams of things that split the night
All your worries, all your... trite expressions
But, you are something more, in spite
Of petty ways... mindless obsessions
I see you
Do you see you, too?
When you look into the sky
I see you
Do you see me, too?
When you close your eyes?
Dreams of things that lit the night
Endless hope and mis... direction
They fly around you like a kite
All tangled up... in...
