lyrics

I was born on the 31st of January
Bliss of being was my sanctuary
Had Yet to become a member
Of a society yet to prosper
I Sheepishly gave my allegiance when i was a toddler
And so i entered the illusionary realm of the other
A divided self among others
Conflicted inside looking for brothers
The game was afoot
Chasing cerebral soot
Almost oblivious to a lost paradise
For which i didn’t yet know the price
Yet something never felt correct
Covered in the background like a tiny insect
And as i grew so did the discomfort
Pursuing ever expanding ghosts and more soot
Until i hit 30
And so did my unhappiness hit me
This is when i abandoned all and took up a quest for the answer
Little did i know that via this route the little insect was growing bigger
Overturning spiritual and quantum literature
Like there was no tomorrow
Losing friends and money for this new obsession which was on full burner
And then one day after meditating
I realised i'd been in a bubble striving and striving
It burst and so did my rapture
I danced ecstatically for i had been freed from minds capture
My conceptual prison collapsed and my eyes opened forever
But the journey had just begun and Clouds came back to hover
What i didn’t realise was that what was crumbling was my persona
To keep this freedom was a challenge like no other
Then One day i found that i was eternity
William Blake’s words came back to me
And i understood with all my being his sagacity
But still there was brewing in my personality
Finally i woke up one day in a mental hospital
And realised clearly i had to let go of all
And so this is my story as real as that can be
And it is also yours for i am you and you are me
