LYRICS:

Experiences in life
can make you jaded.
Escapes from life
can leave you faded.
But you're still here folks,
you made it.
The wave of dragons
you've slain it.

Try to solve
machinations internal.
Try to extinguish
fires infernal.
Through thoughtful exercise
you can turn all.
The black holes in your head
into a wormhole.

Recalibrate constantly
try to keep in tune.
Recalibrate ideas.
vomit that which is fed by spoon.

Place the card,
read the Rune.
Just don't assume
it's all doom and gloom.

When it feels like
you're forced to swallow a sword.
When it feels like
you can no longer afford.
To live life
without crossing a fjord.
Don't let cost
leave life unexplored.

Don't always
retreat inside.
Don't repeatedly
run and hide.
Don't let your fears
become intensified.
And don't let you
by classified.

Cos it feels like
there are no more heroes.
It feels like
there are just ones and zeroes.
It feels like
you should just say no.
But it's more like
the river still flows.

As above,
so below.
Feel the waves
and Undertow.
Shift your gears,
and take it slow.
You don't have to put on
another show.

Another Mask, Another Act;
intellectual cataract.
Allow yourself to interact.
reintroduce the things you've lacked.

When you feel inspiration running thin,
forgive yourself of this sin.
Then you can begin
to play the game to win.

With no time
there's no more to fear.
Cos all is possible
in the now and here. (x4)


Get in touch with your truest self'
for your mental health,
for some social wealth.
You don't need a mechanical elf.

Cos there's DMT
inside your head.
Released automatically
just before you're dead.
When you're tripping
on things that are left unsaid.
Hallucinating coulda-shoulda
-woulda-been's instead.

So, grab your life with two hands,
and make proper stands,
A-gainst the sands
pouring from time's hands.


And make one resolution.
Total revolution.
Create your own institution
with your own elocution.

Be both
Happy and Sad.
Be both
Good and Bad.
Be both
Lame and Rad.
Be both
Forever and Fad.
(x4)
