lyrics

The eye of the beast, mind of the animal
eat, drink, sleep, clockwork ticks predictable,
broken but dependable
awful yet beautiful
but what of man surrendering his consciousness to animal
Oooo, theres something so much deeper in you
and in spite of this it’s gonna shine through
but every creature has a curtain close
so whats a higher consciousness to do
Take a knee for every knee will bow
whether or not you took the time to figure it out
Man you are the only living thing
that seeks to play the role of God supreme
More than an animal, but man you are creature still
Remember to remember you forget
Because the best or worst to come
is coming yet
We’re not even aware of the awareness
that we’re using to say
theres nothing more, taking for granted that we’re breathing today
And the breath you use
A little picture of a greater Holiness
Every being with a conscious is hearing the lie
that they’re so much greater or much leaser than life
either one will promise you the gift you will die
but man there is a promise that will open your eyes
