Homo sapiens
And your carbon-based anatomy The child you're looking for Is starved and lost, a memory Drop the knife Leave your arms behind Just for a moment Calm the mind The longing never ends Not while you're human What if you could hold Your mother's heart Inside your hands Would you seek blood again Would you find the karmic thread Drop the knife Leave your arms behind Just for a moment Calm the mind The longing never ends Not while you're human Stop the clock Drop the storyline Just for a moment Stop the clock The longing never ends Not while you're human 03. Bija! Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal

04. Box Up My Bones Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
I could be eternity
A star inside my head Touching space an inch beyond my skin My body as an edgeless, open wind The clouds part and the sun comes out And when I feel scared I declare I have everything I need Box up my bones I'm free Haste to cure the old despair No antidote, still I repair Someone said that bird has no wings But I've seen it fly in dreams The clouds part and the sun comes out And when I feel scared I declare I have everything I need Box up my bones I'm free With an open heart Let go of your name Let go of your body Let go of your mind Let your self die I'm on my way to love someone On my way to love the one And I don't feel scared I declare I have everything I need There's just me being hard on me Box up my bones I'm coming home I'm free 05. Elves Beam Out Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Led up stairs not made of man
Form of a pineal gland Third eye becomes open And elves beam out Seed-shaped sounds Elves beam out Danger a thought impetus A bodiless myth to disperse I met this dream before Where elves beam out Seed-shaped sounds Elves beam out I touch down to kindly meet earth And unroll my feathers headfirst Just breathing's enough When elves speak out Know thyself Elves beam out Elves stream out Know thyself Elves beam out Surrender I'll go up the stairs 06. Hieroglyph Music by Cynic Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
He's been blown to all corners of the universe
His eyes go back into eternity His mouth an endless black hole Everything rushing into freedom No walls no specific personality This whole being an explosion into infinity |
