lyrics

We are the face of a nation
Enforcing this alteration
Divorcing, defacing satan
Refocus, replacing hating
We know that imagination
Erases our hesitations
Evaded, chasing creations
We state it soul masturbation

Release it from our own hands
And free it to the sky
We see it fly over our home land
Repeated, holy, divine
Yaweh, Allah, Vishnu
Rama, Buddah, Ra collide
Remapping our ways and our wishes
Into truth we climatize

Clime inside, time refined
Find the time, untie the crime
Horizon die, unbind the sky
Combine, allign, and synchronize
Wine and dine the blinking eyes
They're dry and blind trying to hide
But crying finds a tide to ride
Unwind the lies, I rise alive

Recognize the message in the smoke
Do not choke
Our ancestors always spoke
Of a passage that they wrote
In the ashes of the vastness
We unwrap this story told
Unlatching from the madness
Climbing from the rabbit hole

In our hands we hold
Origami to unfold
As we stand beside the mold
Know we can be shapable
Capable

Of compressing the lesson
Decompressing depression
Ejecting oppression
Rejecting obsession
Inspecting infections
Accepting reflections
Confessing our messes
Injecting our blessings
The best have tested
The best have been arrested

Needed to meet it, read it, see it, be it
To believe it, beat it, defeat it, compete it
And now we watch it receding.

Through it we knew it but screw it
Shoulda, woulda, coulda, but blew it
It's easy to spew it
But I think we should get to it.

Whether we’re goofing and stupid
Or lucid truthing, we're fluid
Made for moving and grooving
And losing us in the doing

We let it out
Getting naked like a nudist
We move around
Breathe it in like Buddhist
We make the sound
Hypnotize you like the flutist
Sorry if it is too loud
But this is how we do this
